Ivoted nine out of Ten but the thumb did not record correctly.Jannarta. XX.

[jannarta]

Maybe the Larks fly faster in the North of England! Technically well played but just ease off of the throttle on the runs particularly on the higher notes as you break to return down again. Well done Anna. XX,

Jannarta.

[pianoice]

let the begining sing organically with more shape in the phrases.

on the final trilltry much more wrist rotation instead of fingers lifting. the same wrist action youd use to open a door knob.LtoR rotation you will trill forever this way and with more dynamic control and less fatigue.pretend you are singing the right hand to get more dynamic color. good technique!!! use more arm weight in giant chords for sound with less attack. great bravo!

[NOSEhow2LIV]

A Fine BaLARKirev. Certainly not too fast(!), well phrased opening, beautifully voiced decorative section. Final trills excellent, i'd love them to last a little longer.

[OrangeSodaKing]

wow, amazing!

[inbalh]

w-o-w

[juliaCSL]

omg very very nice. one of the nicest ones. beautiful. dynamics and speed are clear and suitable for the different parts of the piece.

[wowzhang]

Beautiful playing!

[piano6861]

Gorgeous playing of this beautiful piece!

[snakey200]

i love how you didnt rush it

[bryanvdk]

lol i love your sarcasm.

technically perfect, but totally played too fast. the lark would have a heart attack flying this fast. this is a gorgeous piece that has to be savoured

[snakey200]

haha, and i thought i was the only one who prefered this piece as slow as you can get with 15 second pauses

[bryanvdk]

I totally agree. My girlfriend is playing this for her ARCT right now and has a much nicer interpretation

[Daryoush007]

Wow! I LOVED IT! You're very musically and technically accomplished. I'm also a student in my 1st year. I just finished the Brahms 3rd sonata but would love to play this! where are you studying? :)

[wellprunedcunt]

this is fabulous, absolutely stunning, I wish I could play like this.

[musicyh]

Beautiful...much better than all the other versions I've heard kids try to play (w/o the required musical maturity).

[mdenoord]

mooi!

[magicflute1510]
