javiercorre β Sonatas K. 208 and K. 380
Beautiful! Delicately played and such an endearing piece. Fantastic dynamics and very skillful playing. Almost flawlessly and from memory, in a single take!!! And you have only five years of practice?! I'm very impressed! I'm sure you will do great on your exam!

This forum is so talented... pianists, composers, sailors, movie makers, and from the looks of it you're all rolled in one 
Thanks for sharing your creation and lovely imagery to go with it. It felt like a mini cruise with an on board pianist - thank you for taking us on this virtual trip!
@Nightowl - What a Wonderful World. Boy, yβall are contributing a bunch of lovely classics. Nicely done, and Iβm particularly impressed that youβre playing like this after only a year, self-teaching no less. Keep it up!
@Sophia - A Classy Rag. Excellent! You have a really nice, smooth, even touch. Iβd seriously have guessed that you started playing much longer ago. Thatβs a really fun tune, and you nailed it!
@Player1 - Ashokan Farewell. A very pretty piece. Well done, thanks for sharing!
Enthusiastic but mediocre amateur.
@plop_symphony I had not heard that piece before, but it was such fun to listen to, and you played it so well!
@Schubertian2 One word, Impressive!
Impressive performance, especially for a piece of that length
Impressive that it is your own interpretation, and not influenced by any other performances or recordings.
I also enjoyed the images in your video.
iternabe your sense of rhythm is really good! I'm curious what the first recording sounded like, because the liberties you took in this one were subtle (and nice).You sound very much in control, and it seems like you are very ready for the Level 2 books.
plop_symphony great recording! You must be happy with it. It doesn't sound like anything gave you trouble with this piece.
WieWaldi is there a missing note? I didn't notice one! You're making great progress. That was a nice blues--it incorporated quite a number of licks and none of them seemed to give you trouble.
Nightowl Motivation is always the most important thing to keep up, so I think it was a good idea to get away from the method book, at least a bit. Do you have a metronome or a metronome app? I think it would help you greatly to use one. And don't worry too much about stepping up your game--it's fun to see your progress no matter what speed it happens at.
Sophia last recital I said you were almost not a beginner any more, and now I would definitely categorize you as an intermediate player. You have good control over tempo, dynamics, tricky rhythms, jumps. You're doing great, and you know how to play a catchy song in a catchy way!
rsl12 I don't have a metronome. I tried a metronome app but found it too distracting.
I do have a reasonable sense of rhythm/tempo, so it's not that I don't realise when I've slowed down or paused between notes - it's just that my brain is slow with sight reading. I should have practised the piece a lot more so that I could play the trickier parts without pausing to locate the notes. Everyone is being very kind but I'll say what many are probably thinking - this effort was not worth uploading and it is quite painful to listen to. I'm in a massive learning curve. Maybe in 6 months' time I'll produce something worth listening to.

NOT. AT. ALL. You seemed a bit hesitant at first, but very quickly you started playing much more smoothly, and it was quite pleasant.
Enthusiastic but mediocre amateur.

What nonsense! I bet you all the pianos in the world that not a single person thought that. Because everyone started at one point and especially those who started as adults faced the same struggles and beginner phases.
You haven't been playing a full year and only a few months on a proper piano, rather than a keyboard that wasn't even touch-sensitive.
You are making remarkable progress, just compare it with your previous two recitals!
Nothing "kind" about that, just simple facts 
iternabe For only 10 months of playing the piano, you sure can tell a story! You've got great musical intent. Well done, and nicely & delicately played! 
diretonic Wow, what a lovely arrangement! I wasn't familiar with the original piece, but you certainly made it your own. I really enjoyed the liveliness of this and the atmosphere+mood you created. That's quite some talent you have, bravo, and thanks for sharing! I felt great after listening to this!

@thepianoplayer416 That is a nice arrangement, and you played it very well.
@Sam That is a lovely composition, and performance. As others have said, it does not sound unfinished to me.
I always like to hear original music, and your piano sounds great in your space.
@MarieJ I loved the flow, and particularly your 'touch' in this piece.
Is the artwork yours? It is beautiful, and the perfect visual acompaniment to the music.
BicBic β Prelude no.4 in E minor from Op 11
This one sounds really challenging, to get the mood done right. Tempo, dynamics, clean playing - everything matters here more than just hitting the right keys at the right moment. I am not familiar with Scriabin, just heard the name, so it is hard to judge if this was played as intended by the composer. To ears (this is what I can tell), it sounded well.
Just read you are playing only ONE year - this is impressive!
