Thank you for sharing this.

[christinehah]

I love how you play at 1:16 and 1:23 - it's so clean, and I can hear every single note!

Have you published a video of Weber Concertino? I will play it at a concert (with orchestra!!) in May, but I need inspiration and want to listen to many different recordings! And since I really love your sound, I would like to hear you play it :)

What kind ligatures you using?

[slitzkin532]

I'm stuck between this or Weber's concertino for my solo this year.  Dx Tough choice.
