Hi everyone My take of the famous Fantaisie-Impromptu by Chopin. Hope you will enjoy it and best wishes!

Very enjoyable!
I think you have the fingers for this piece whereas mine struggle with it a bit (my fingers favour G major key!).
The performance really took off between 4:00 and 4:20 I felt. Bravo!
I think in the slower passages, you were being let down by the piano really. It didn't seem up to the job.

Glad you enjoyed it! The piano is 93 years old and yes .. it has some problems sadly haha

Are you comfortable?  Your knees are so high!
It's very good, the transition into the middle section is always an artistic challenge, the anxiety of the first section must be completely evaporated by the time you start the melody on a-flat.  That's as far as I got, for now. 
You deserve a better piano!

Good performance, thanks for sharing.
You have a great piano.  The dynamics are excellent.  It just needs a good technician to do some work on it, especially tuning.  It is a Bechstein after all complete with agraffes on all strings.  The hammers, as far as I could see from the video seem in good condition, without signs of excess wear.

very good, i also played this piece!!!I advise you that in the coda you have to accent the note of the upper octave and improve the dynamics: forte, piano, fortissimo, pianissimo and then in the final after the coda the right hand more piano and change pedal at each note. Accentuate the bass and change the pedal to the bass and I recommend changing it entirely. in the central part I would say pay more attention to the slurs and do the crescendos where the notes rise on the staff. the rest is very good

Thank you! And yes I am comfortable. I am almost 2 meters tall and it is like this on all pianos haha

Glad you enjoyed my performance! The piano needs a lot of work sadly.  It does not hold the tune that well anymore.. so new pins, strings and dampers since they make noises. The action is super light unfortunately and it needs a lot of work as well. Here in Bulgaria the best technicians refuse to work on it and they advice its best to buy new one as the sound will not be the same when you remove the plate and put it back it. I checked abroad for a possiible restoration.. the price is between 15-25000eurp which is quite expensive. If the piano was more than 2 meters long I would probably do it. But i must say that I want a bigger one now Best wishes!
