However, when I look again and see how young you are, you are very good, as I was saying technically....the emotion and the interpertation becomes the focus. Don't stop it will bring you so much joy and to others. All the best.

It's allegro, good sir! But, really, good performance.

bravoooo

=P I don't play the repeat - it's sooo long!

as musicians most of the training we recieve reduces us to merely technicians....where is the art.
This sound like everyone else at your level...it does not tell any sort of tale, or much about you. The purpose of art is to communicate something about yourself and Mozart.

but most do it not.

Or even dynamics*!

There's no doubt of your technique and ability! For the most part you play it well. The main issues for me are timing and dynamincs; you sometimes give an extra quaver rest or so and it spoils the continuity, also, the odd unnecessary ritardando - a bit 'romantic'! In addition, some forte passages are a bit too strong as well. Just needs a bit of TLC..
Great playing though and brilliant finger work!

very nice. I suggest you play the left hand notes at 0:23 with fingers 5-1-2-1, rather than 5-1-1-1. Brendel and many pianists use that.
Sorry for being so cryptic :) I'm Vanitha from Madison, WI. My husband and your Dad are colleagues at the Univ. of Wisconsin.

I love your Piano playing, Benjamin!
This piece is amazing.
Not sure if you remember me, but I've been a fan of your piano-playing since you were nine :)

A good attempt. You obviously known the piece well, and are definitely technically capable of performing it.
A few suggestions:
-Watch your use of pedal. Only when necessary.
-Pay attention to the score. There are articulation inaccuracies, and you're not paying attention to a lot of the rests and note values.
-Clean up your trills
This is classical music. There's so much subtlety that paying attention to a good score is imperative to the piece. Best of luck!
