Garrick, this is the only recording of this piece i know of on You Tube. You have such relaxed control and beauty in your phrasing. It is always a pleasure to hear you perform. I'm looking forward to your completion of the complete collection of Beethoven Sonatas. There are few pianists capable of doing this with genuine authority. You are one of them. Thanks!

@dbharcadia2 I hope that Garrick Ohlsson reads your comments !
