This is the kind of video where I would put a warning:

"CAUTION: Professional pianist on closed course". 

Joking aside, wow. Beautifully executed and rendered. Superb. It made my day. 

Thanks,

Hey thanks but what does "on closed course" mean? Just curious.

Oh, that was a silly reference to these car commercials where some handsome guy in a well pressed suit drives a Lexus while screeching tires in the middle of an empty downtown and there is a fine print saying "Professional driver on closed course. Do not attempt." 

Btw I love the sound quality of your recording. Just wondering, what brand is your piano?

Thanks,

Ah I see. I must have missed those commercials.

It's a 110 year old Ibach. It actually sounds better in real life than over the microphone but it has its limits. Especially since the hammers or even the felts have never been replaced. But it's the piano I grew up on so I'm very attached to it - despite the creaking and squeaking. Even if I get an 18 ft concert grand one day, I'll keep this.
Thx again
