I haven`t posted for a while.. I just memorized this great piece and I wanted to record my first try at playing the whole thing There is more work to be done of course and I am looking forward for your comments and suggestions! Best wishes

A couple thoughts.

First of all, this was your first time playing the whole thing, yet you have it memorized and you're playing it as fast as you are? Makes no sense.

Secondly, the camera cuts are dizzying. If you played it all in one sitting, just have the camera sitting there. It's very distracting and gives the impression that you took 50 takes and spliced them all together.

Thirdly, why choose a tempo that you have to slow down at the difficult/sticky parts to get through? Why not just choose a more manageable tempo that you can play continuously through?

On a more positive note, it seems you have it under your fingers. I'm sure you'll be able to play it better with that technique.

Thanks for your comment. It was first try by heart not the first try ever

For the camera.. it was taken in 1 shot and I just zoomed in/out to create some diversit and not to be static.

For the tempo.. I wanted to catch Cziffra and I overdid it. For which I think i had to do a dummy recording before this one and listen to it since often you imagine you play it like you want and infact it is different I play it better now after I heard myself After my vacation I will probably do a second recording.

And finally yeah it`s a fun piece to play and i`ll get it done
