Very nicely played, though I find the tempo a little fast.

Thank you! Yes, it is a little on the fast side; I often find that piano-backing tracks I get tend to be faster than I would prefer, & it's usually much easier to play slower melodies on the theremin! There is an audio-editing program I can use to slow tracks down a little. I've been thinking about doing a much slower one-verse version of this piece using my other theremin.
Presently, I'm working on a theremin version of Elgar's Salut d'Amour, and even slowed down it still seems at a gallop!

Thank you ... I'm glad you like it. It's such a pretty piece and has quite nicely spaced notes for playing (no difficult big jumps!) You should try it!!!

Very nicely done. I like the higher octave on the second verse. Thanks, and keep at it!. :)

Thank you for the kind words ... and thanks again for your YT video of this piece; listening to it over and over was a huge help in getting this tune fixed in my head. It's a song I wasn't too familiar with before ... but it's now a real favourite!

You're welcome. I'm glad my version helped with your study of this piece. :) It's also one of my favs too. :)

I originally uploaded this video yesterday, but got emails from a few people saying it wouldn't play ... so I've re-uploaded it.
I hope it's working OK for everyone now. My apologies to those who rated / commented previously.
