Grade 10 Recital List "C" Chopin Polonaise in C# minor

Just finished my Grade 10 RCM exam and this is my third repertoire piece - a Chopin Polonaise taken from the Romantic era - List "C".
This was a preparatory public concert where I played all of my 7 pieces in front of a rather large audience. The concert proceeded without any breaks between repertoire and with no applause either (until the end). It was emulating 'exam conditions.'
There are several note accidents here that I don't usually make; however, such is life when you're doing it live in concert. I did play it better for the exam.

My favourite polonaise!! I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your recital :)

I'm quite enjoying your back to back to back videos of your recital ... awaiting the next one. So far I've seen, in order, List A, B (2 parts) and C. So how many parts are left? Great playing. I wish I was there firsthand.

A well-done performance of this Chopin Polonaise. Great work!

I don't know how you remember all of the notes. Excellent playing nonetheless. I wish I had been to that recital!

My ears, easy on the left hand. The main theme is on the right hand. Even if it says fortissimo, doesn't mean you have the authority to bang the piano, instead put more pressure on the piano. Nonetheless, it was a more or less exceptional performance. And sorry if I'm a tad bit harsh, meet the rest of the Russian St. petersburg conservatories, then you'll see why.

I always loved a Chopin Polonaise and you've played this very well.

Powerful playing of a difficult piece. Very nice performance!

Excellent meno mosso section. and again very stylistic playing.
