This piece corresponds to Mao's show program for this season. I've been working on it since she announced it a while ago and learning it has been one of the most challenging experiences ever.

I was pretty unlucky during recording. This was the 3rd of 4 recordings...and unfortunately the one with the most mistakes. However the audio was messed up on the 1st set, I went over the 10min limit on my camera on the 2nd, and the battery ran out 7 minutes into the 4th recording. And I left my charger in Delaware -_-. Oops. Anyway, I hope you enjoy...it's not perfect, but it's a wonderful piece (and I'm no Horowitz).

Oh, and Thank you for all the kind words after Skate America, you guys are super awesome :D

  • haha presto con fuoco... true... slow down, don't sacrifice clarity for speed... I'd rather say that sounds nice than say that your hands move fast... who cares about that... it is all about the sound and dynamics

  • that presto con fuoco looked like a lot of fun

  • 涙が出てきました。本当に感動しました。

  • you need a lot of technique, this piece of chopin is very difficult and level 10 I think that should be studied best practice times and then upload it again .... if you follow the times you lack finesse and a lot of things not Get Started with something easier ....

  • pretty princess mao .

    She called `spring princess`

  • Pretty good mister Mao, even with the mistakes! And your name is cool too, I'll keep that in mind for if I ever need a name (if ya know what I mean) hahaha!
