Hi, I started going through the playlist. I really like the way you play these works. It sounds so *right* to my ears for the style. I don't feel like putting it into words would do it justice, but suffice to say it somehow feels very authentic. I really like the way you use the three-hand technique and have tried (largely unsuccessfully) to replicate it in my improvs in the past.

Thanks, see my comments on the improvisation regarding three hand effect: of course there is quite a lot of this technique used in paraphrases from the mid 19th century, here especially items 1, 4 and 6 (Thalberg's hugely notorious arpeggio passage at the end of the former).

It is a beautiful recital that has a wonderful flow to the music selections. I think you manage very well to balance the sense of pianism with the sense of vocal musicality. I have been listening these past few days. Your Sonata fits splendidly in with the program.

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Thank you! I spent a long time selecting the order of the pieces, in particular the placement of the sonata, which I decided was objectively best placed at the end. I've played hour-long recitals comprising solely or paraphrases before, but they've had a break in the middle which I think is needed in that context to avoid the "everything from the dessert trolley" feeling which could easily set it (plus an hour of them is actually quite physically tiring). I didn't have an interval break in this programme, so in some ways I was happy with having the more pensive aspect of the first three movements of the sonata.
