  • To be honest I only listened your 3rd movement, even though the bad sound quality I can tell you have a wonderful interpretation and just a perfect performance! I really envy you, good job and keep it up!!!

  • schools should take careof better tuning and voicing when candidates perform!!

  • This is really excellent playing. Bravo. I'm impressed with your choice of tempo. I think it makes for a boisterous atmosphere, which you create well with other aspects of your playing.

  • Well, but I don't believe that it's good to put so much left pedal

  • I just find it pretty easy. Of course it's not all about hitting the right notes: a computer program can play perfectly in that respect but is hardly inspiring. I did post a video of me playing Chopin's Heroic Polonaise to disprove people who thought I couldn't play but I no longer care. If it makes you feel better, pretend I can't even play Chopsticks.

  • How can you say this is an easy sonata? But, please post a video of you playing it. I would like to see how well you tackle it. It's not just to hit the right notes you know.

  • I'm not sure why you think this sonata is difficult. I play this piece so I know. It's not easy but it's nothing like op. 106. I liked this interpretation more than some by well-known pianists so I don't mean to be too harsh. Still, slowing down a bit to keep precision would have made this an exceptional performance.

  • Actually it's a very difficult sonata, with its many subtle details and broad range of material which can only be conveyed through just the right character and tone. Except for tempo issues, I think this pianist did a very fine job.

  • I agree with bboydaduke. It's fine to speed up the tempo but not at the expense of clarity. This is NOT a difficult sonata and you made a mess of my favorite part (melody as octaves with the left hand/broken chords with the right around 6:23 here).

  • Ambitious tempo for this movement, but I think it was so fast that you lost consistency in your rhythm.

    Otherwise, great display of technique. Expressive where you needed to be.
