I'm working on this and I like your rubatos. I was never taught how and when to do them and I can't. I guess I'll have to take lessons again sometime in the future to learn because I simply play notes and it sounds so unprofessional. I remember you guys from a while ago. This is nicely played; more humanly rather than the perfect robots I hear on stage. lol

Very nicely done!

"Former concert pianist." Isn't that a bit of a depressing title to have? I mean, "aspiring concert pianist," "concert pianist," okay... but "Former?" Makes it sound like the other concert pianists ganged up on him and kicked him out.

Now that I'm done with that, nice video.

With the youtube space between sound and image, it looks like the "symphony" accompanist is jumping away from an exploding piano or something lol!

Yes, the piece was transcribed by Lizst, and Gould flawlessly played the transcription.
