Very Very nice. This Etude is a favorite of mine and you really do it very nicely. Your B-section & L.H. is super. For me, what seemed to be the easiest parts actually ended up being the most difficult and vice versa. I've been at it a while (I posted to Youtube) polishing, polishing, and still cannot get it "right". I, and many others, will always be correcting something with it. Yours is fantastic.
How do you keep your left thumb from getting hung up in the keys when playing right in front of you? That's my problem. My thumb doesn't always make it when it has to go under. I always have problems with that.
dude, you rock. (in like a totally piano-ish way) :D

I like how he makes his right hand go UPward and off the keyboard. Very fansy and performance-like. Very nice. You're great! I'd buy your CDs.

Dr. Hughes, absolutely thrilled to see your playing on YouTube! Outstanding! Now when can we see the Copland Variations? :-)

One of my all-time favorite pieces. It's a pleasure to hear and watch you play. Thank you.

So nice to hear this piece played in a sensitive way, giving consideration to the phrasing...
It seems so many players rush though and dont do it justice...
This sounds as it should..
Thanks for a great performance

Well well well done.
Now I'm sure you are left handed
one which phenomenon I heard amazing things this month. - If you are, I'll explain.

I responded with a piece (Liszt video) that is yet more difficult to play than this one.
