Never heard of it it before. Very nice ! thank You, and: good plaing ! bravo!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you. Hardly anyone has heard of this piece - maybe this is its first recording?

Nice playing. It sounds to me that the freezing weather of England changed the sound of your piano a bit.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you. You are quite right about the piano tuning - but there is not a lot I can do in the short term. If I get it tuned immediately, another sudden spell of cold weather will put it out again. I think I have to take the view that some works will come out better than others, and I will soldier on!

[brcmano]

I know exactly what you mean, while in England cold weather mistreat your piano, in Brazil, where I live, my piano cannot hold any tuning at all because of terrible variations of humidity.

The beginning is very interesting - like a recitative to an operatic-aria, or a prelude to a ballade - certainly not to a Mazurka. Bravo for the performance.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you - the beginning is certainly interesting.

Pretty cool!

I prefer Julius Benedict from that period of time....

Thanks again for keep feeding us King Sear!

Light & Wisdom!

Thank you. Julius Benedict was certainly a very talented composer - I will have to find some of his music.
