[kreebowser]

what a tank

[CatHayes92]

I'd say thats quite a good job!! well done!!

[soccerismysport95]

way to fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! i think you will find playing this song at the given tempo is alot harder even though it not as fast.

there is not musical playing in this at all :S

and the room is only making him sound good

not the best :S

asi bude po otcovi:)))

[jsteuernol]

fairly good sound and resonance.

slightly too fast in my opinion

some tuning issues

other than that, good job

[JeffCollins05]

this is way too fast. The reverb in the hall makes him sound better than he is, not that I doubt he's got a lot of skill and talent, but reverb makes almost anything sound great. A lot of little things were left out of this performance, dynamics, articulation, intonation, and an overall feeling of enjoyment from this piece were missing. Again, not saying he's bad, but this doesn't sound like much work was put in, and he just wanted to finish it.

Very nice performance - very good technique for a 17year old.

Just a note - the title "badinage" means "playful banter". Perhaps more interaction, (almost a light-hearted duel) with the accompanist might help the interpretation.

Good, confident round tone - nice flexibility too. Articulation could be cleaner though, and greater use of dynamic change/ would help the style. Maybe the particularly live sound doesn't help? Tempo is a little fast, but it depends on the interpretation I guess.

mužu jen závidět,tak mladý a jakou má fazonu-děkuji za zážitek...jen tak dál

[Agatrampet]

Nice playing, thank you! Giuliano

[baseballjunker4]

Now let's look at the tempos Eugene Bozza wrote for this piece...hmm, looks like quarter= 116 with a quarter= 88 for the slow section. haha

[thesarahbrown]

Have a listen to Phil Smith playing this piece

[baseballjunker4]

I have...I'll I'm saying is is that it seems like he ignored the composers original intent. In regards to Phil Smith, he only took it about 12 clicks faster (quarter = 128)...and only b/c he can. When you're at that level, (like Wynton Marsalis playing Hummel Mvt.3) and making that kind of money, you can play however you want. As a student, it's probably not best to grow up playing however fast you want. My two cent for you,
