adodd, you play this very well, with a good mature musical sense and technique about you. You should tackle the no2 as well, you can do that one although it is technically a bit more challenging.

But main reason why I had to log back in and post was dam that piano you have is amazing! You got an all-in-one entertainment system studio you got going on with that piano. You just need to install a refrigerator and microwave on the underside of that keyboard and a pull-out futon and you dont need anything else !!
Amazing you can netflix, send an email , post to forum , play arabesque, launch a satellite, and GPS-navigate to defunct N Korean missle silo locations on that piano all at the same time.

Infact, I'm pretty sure if I stuck wheels on this thing and got it up to 88mph, I could come back from the future and tell you how the concert goes this Sat

HAHAHA  high five@!!

Impressive playing.
And also the piano looks quite young for its age.

Yes yes yes yes yes this is how Debussy should be played. I will make a more detailed post later but for now I will just say fantastic job and thank you for not rushing and for holdingggggggg certain parts and really bringing out the beauty of this masterpiece.

Wow. Actually I don't have much to suggest for you. Maybe try to bring out the melody line in certain parts more. But that is subjective. What I love is how you (intentionally or unintentionally) play it in a way that shows that this is NOT romantic music. You to not overplay the cresc. or decresc. which I think is fabulous. And as I mentioned you are fantastic at not rushing the beautiful parts of this piece and holding some notes for maximum impact. Fantastic performance, bravoooo!!!!

Great, I can't wait to hear it! Haha don't expect a Chopin ballade from me, but I would love to hear one from your piano. This Liszt has me tied down for hours/day and I am learning a Bach P&F now and the 2nd movement of this beethoven sonata is harder then it sounds though the first movement is done. And I am trying to learn and record some short pieces in the meantime so I don't lose too many youtube subscribers

I'm working on P & F #8, it would be fun if you wanted to work on that we could kind of do it together and share ideas or good performances

That's awesome, I will send you a pm! I feel the same way about his music. I feel that I just need to listen to it in a different way then I listen to any other composer, rather then just listening for pleasure I really try to appreciate the music and it almost becomes beautiful in that way. Haha I don't know, talk to AJ he is obsessed with Bach
