I'm working on this at the moment, so enjoyed hearing your interpretation. I was impressed by your abandon and fearlessness .. I wish a lot more of my pupils could get a sense of that!! The performance was surprisingly well balanced to say that you had your camera on the bass end of the piano! Perhaps putting it on the treble end would make your life easier.. ?? Or maybe you enjoy the challenge!! Either way, thank you for sharing this video.

I have been playing this for years, it is difficult, at 1:31 what did Poulenc have in mind, I think it needs to be quick, crisp and "Wake Up Everyone!" The 16th notes are the critical element throughout as is the 3/8, they are the river which the melody moves along. You have great ability. Stay with the piano throughout your life, It is such a gift now ad will be when you are 55! Listen to others play a peice and compare your style with theirs and be analytical. thank you

Not bad, but where is the countermelody? This piece is relatively hard to play, but with all the nuances that Poulenc uses, that's what makes it extremely difficult to play properly..
