Liszt Chasse-neige

Hello guys, this is my first performance of this etude, unfortunately the camera does not record the nuances very well, other than that I would love some feedback, thanks!

Well, you have the basis for a very fine performance.  I see what you mean about the nuances.  Are you sure it's just the camera that isn't capturing the nuances?  . Only teasing.  Sort of.  Because the difficulty of this etude resides precisely in the pianissimo of the various "tremolos" and alternated accompanying notes EVEN in the forte passages.  Your forte is lovely and never harsh. Use that as the basis of comparison to the soft passages.  Such as the immediate piano "espressivo" after the octave climax.  Play a couple of bars of the climax several times, then the following passage and HEAR if there is that much of a difference.  I'm not going to get into technical things here, but i would reccomend you practise this etude stopping on the melodic notes of the line, forte, then whispering, really whispering the following harmonic "tremolos" or alternating notes or whatever, until there's a clear distinction between the two.  It's so difficult to explain these things over the web.
But at any rate, it was an impressive performance.  Bravo!

Bravo Aksel! It has always been my dream to play this. Maybe someday I will. The part around 4:20 was splendid. Vadym Kholoenko owns this piece, haha. If you want a recording to base your practice off of, I would suggest listening to that one for consideration!! You are a great pianist, keep it up!!
