La Campanella, Liszt

Here is my rendition of 'La Campanella' (using the Busoni adaptation in about three places):

I hope you will forgive the missed notes here and there.....

I'm happy to forgive missed notes, but I think you messed up the character. The score has p, pp, sempre piano everywhere, except towards the end – yes, this is a showpiece but not a loud, bombastic one. Play a nice, gentle allegretto with a light staccato touch when you present the theme – there will be plenty of opportunities to display your fireworks later on in the piece.
