Musical playing! Not a lot of that around anymore. I enjoyed this far more than Richter who I thought too bombastic. You know a few wrong notes are not the end all ... problem is so many young pianists don't know what a phrase is anymore. A piano player is not necessarily a 'musician" ...

You have ability but why so mechanical? Stop and think about the tonal variations and work on technique so that you have romantic light and shade. It all sounds frantically rushed and has nothing of a "song" manner. It is such a pity because you could do so much better. I would get another teache...

This is one of the better performances on Utube. Some obvious slips but you have an ear that understandings music. Don't rush and allow the playing to breathe more.

Please would all those child piano bashers stop and listen to this - with much luck you will override your terrible teaching and learn something. Beautiful playing!

Oh how beautiful. And how sad it is when you listen to all those 10 years olds bashing the piano to pieces and thinking they know something about music. Unfortunately such terrible teaching makes you tone deaf.

You play like a motor mechanic. Stop and think about the meaning of the music. It is not a frantic rush to the end - and think about taking a breath now and then. Boy there are some bad teachers out there - not your fault.

The accents do not mean to bash as hard as possible - rather you need to sing the sound. You have some ability but need to go right back and get a much more musical basis to your playing.

Beautifully done! I noticed that you established lights on top of previously laid in darker areas. I tend to leave the lighter tones until later because it is sometimes difficult to lay lights over the darks. Did you remove some of the dark when you laid in the lights/ Just curious. Love the pain...

It turned out very well indeed! Thank you for the demonstration and technique.

You play so well - some delightful phrasing and great sense of the style. ps ...It sounded nothing like Scarlatti!
