Very nice recording and great interpretation. One of my top 3 favorite etudes from the set. I've never been able to do it justice using the fingering you use at the start. I usually just cross hands and play it with the left. How long did it take to get it performance ready? I do want to finish learning it, but want to make sure I can balance it in with my practice schedule.

Glad you enjoyed it! :)) It took me sevaral months (three and a half) with about 30-40 min per day working on it :) Keep practicing and it will come to you :)

Elite, too level stuff, however I did not get the satisfaction of hearing you release the resonance at the end before the video cut out! As in the Kreisler thread, I can see what a special instrument this is. The top, the bottom, everything is well regulated and gives you quite the vehicle for expression. I expect it is quite an experience to be in the room with that volume.
Don't let anyone know where you tie your goat.

Glad you enjoyed it! :) The piano is truly fantastic, specially for it's price! And I must say that, I can't really capture how it sounds in person. It is like a concert instrument :)) And yeah, I unfortunately cut the audio with the "fade out" thing in Adobe Premier :)
