The doll was just a smidge too fast.

[efraingonzalez]

@913861 yes... it is fast because children play with dolls different than grown people, watch a girl singing to her doll... you will find it to fast too... thanks for posting.

[kayser113]

the introduction is too fast

[efraingonzalez]

have you been child? how did you played? did you never run? did you had a top in your hand once? was your wood horse a fat one?

all is in your point of view we the artist call it interpretation, and it changes from one to another, but anyway is yout right to mean that for your taste is too fast, we know slower versions and we like them a lot!

Are these pieces hard to learn?

[efraingonzalez]

yes, very hard, but at the end you enjoy a lot playing it.

[Tosycyzkiewicy]

i like french music. My favorite piece from "Jeux d'enfants" is "Les chevaux de bois". It is very lively as well as sentimental and typically French.

Very nice interpretation and bravo! I am doing this with a friend of mine, I'm 13 and he is 17. We're only doing six of the whole suite because of time limits. These are (in order of performance): The Top, The Doll, Soap Bubbles, Leap-Frog, Playing House, and The Merry-Go-Round. (Playing house refers to no. 11, often translated as "Little Husband, Little Wife"). My favorite of the set is no. 4, Merry-Go-Round.

[princesselaze]

sound like the barbie ballet song

[Grigor99]

Very nice, polished playing. Duo playing is an art in itself. I know having done a fair amount of it, but is very rewarding also. The only comment I had was that a few of the movts could have used just a speck more time between them to let the key "dissapate" a bit more.
