@CloverMouse081227 Oh, I meant to say I have "yet" to have seen a piano solo version of this piece that I enjoy as much as this one. I did enjoy it very much. I'm inspired to learn how to play it now.

"May I have this dance with you Mademoiselle?" - idyllic tempo straight from the start makes me happy, I so enjoy the interpretation you bring to this Khachaturian piece!!

You show a very good feel for this piece with the lovely lilting rubato you do ; and don't you have such good hands & fingers with a solid technic !!

[CloverMouse081227]

@JESUS1John Thank you very much! I'm so glad you like it!

I love this piece, I only knew it in the original orchestral version, but this is amazing as well! Your playing is very powerful, and very virtuosic! Many different layers to the writing to keep under control, and you do that very well. A very enjoyable performance Keiko, I loved listening to it! :)

[CloverMouse081227]

@danielhoganmusic Thanks for the kind comment , Daniel!  I really like this arrangement.

[TarekPianoMan]

Good! I'm preparing to post this piece very soon in my own arrangement, and I've already posted its version for two pianos in my performance with my colleague, so have a look at it!

So beautiful! I just bought the music for this piece arranged by Katsuma Nakajima. The arrangement is excellent . I was able to learn it in an afternoon.  It's challenging, but fits under the hands very nicely. Thanks you for your performance. For those who want to by the piece, it is available online from J.W. Pepper.
