Beautifully played.

If I'd make one suggestion, it's to have more fun with it at the beginning - it's a little serious and doesn't give enough contrast to the recaps (which are more contemplative).

Hi Ariel,

Bravo!  You play this piece with the mastery of touch it demands.  A very refined rendition to say the least.   I really enjoyed listening.

Very good, but there are moments in mf sections (like 4.32) where I think it would benefit from being less heavily pedalled. In the quieter sections you have a beautifully crystalline sound, but the limpidity and clarity is lost somewhat when the volume is upped  Other than that it was excellent: I think this is quite an awkward, but not ostentatiously so, transcription.

As Liszt transcriptions go, I think this is one of the best.
