a fantastic fantastic performance again. i have heard this piece many many times and even managed to play half of it my self and i believe it is one of the most emotional versions i've heard. personally i would just use a little bit more rubato in some of the phrases to emphasis's more emotion but thats a personal view. i think you've done a marvelous job at this.
Very nice! The Youtube limit of 10 mins on video is so annoying!

Great! Charlie loves this piece. Too bad it'd be a couple years he'd be powerful enough to do this piece justice.

I think this is a perfect interpretation. I wouldnt use more rubato. I believe that this is how Chopin intended for this piece to be played.

very nice! I've heard this piece many times, even performed in my own house, but you do have a rather lovely and warm tone.

Although my favorite is Cecile Licad's rendition, Benita's playing is equally inspiring.
