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!
Practicing:
Bach Chromatic Fantasie and Fugue
Beethoven Sonata Op. 10 No. 1
Shostakovich Preludes Op. 34
Scriabin Etude Op. 2 No. 1
Liszt Fantasie and Fugue on BACH

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!
