hey that was really nice Addod you play very well!    I can't wait to hear the finished product.  The dynamic contrast can be a little greater but I loved the opening.  don't be afraid to really experiment with the dynamics and the rubato once you get this in your hands.   

can you believe this is the version I first heard of this piece? and it's why I loved it so much... lol.  I think I was 5.

Soon as i get the chance i'll give this a listen! All the versions i've listened too have been a tad quicker than mine but I can play faster, I just don't feel it needing to be.

adodd nice job, I played this one 3 years ago and I had the same problem: make sure in the opening measures that you come off of the notes in correct time so that they do not bleed into the next pedal. Excellent work though. :)
