Geez ...

Those Godowsky arrangements are insane, nice job!

A little dry and weak, I think, I would love to hear more energy and clarity in the different voicings throughout, and maybe a quicker tempo (though I don't know if that's possible). That said, kudos to you for learning this!

Incredibly well done and inspiring!
I think the dryness and lack of energy are at least partly due to recording issues. I'd love to hear your playing recorded more professionally.

This is extremely impressive. IMO this is one of the more challenging LH Etudes he arranged. I only ever managed to learn Godowsky's Op 10 No 6. Congratulations on learning this to this level!

“He has everything and more – tenderness and also the demonic element. I never heard anything like that,” as Martha Argerich once said of Daniil Trifonov. To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31.
