A lovely performance. Loved your tempi. The romanticism and singing quality comes through--I could have used a bit more snake-charmer humor in the finale. I especially like the Tristamente aspect of your playing in the first movement--tinged with sadness. I've enjoyed playing on the "Barge" myself. Some days are choppier than others!--but the scenery is terrific.

Great performance! A few pointers would be that if you just practiced the runs slowly a little bit more because it sounds like you feel uncomfortable when playing the fast runs. Also, the ending run to the G# was one of the best I've ever heard it.

I completely agree. The run of D F Ab E F is a bastard. 0:22

@gyermekkenek Well many professional players play it faster like Paul Meyer and Michael Collins and I actually was at a concert with Martin Fröst where he played this movement like around 190 or even faster than that.

Not bad. But also it is not fine. First - piano too loud in 2-3p. And a little bit not in a manner. There should be a certain pressure, aspiration to forward

@Zorn96 : You are not talking about the same thing at all. As far as I know there is only one edition of Poulenc's sonata, and the tempo is on the score. It is not the case with Mozart's concerto, because Mozart never indicated any metronomic tempo (the metronome has been invented in 1812), and for the clarinet concerto in particular, it is in fact an arrangement of a concerto for basset clarinet. Look at the Wikipedia page about it to understand why there are so many differences...

@gyermekkenek You do know that there are hundreds of versions and editions of every piece, many with completely different tempos, and articulations. For example I have seen four or five versions of the Mozart clarinet concerto. Not only did they all have different articulations and tempos in many parts, but towards the end they even had different notes but same rhythm.
