SalmonJack I loved the main theme of this piece, which grew on me with repeated listening, as did the modulations. Thumbs up!
PianoTell Recital #3 Is Now Live!
Thank you to Navindra, and all performers for another great recital!
I hope I have included everyone in my comments. If not, my apologies.
Last, but not least, a massive thank you to those who commented on my piece.
Some of those comments absolutely made my day, but also, sometimes leave me feeling like an imposter among the many more accomplished performers here.
Thank you all, again.
Sgisela Interesting that it's in a suite of Afrocuban dances--it doesn't sound very Afrocuban to me at all! I love the buildup.
Gooseberry Sounds like you have this piece under your fingers. I'm glad you get to play a piece that has meaning to you.
bSharp Blast from the past. I enjoyed listening, and inside I was singing along. No other notes because I was enjoying it too much!
Greta99 As usual, you are good at making the piano sound delicate, clear, and lovely.
ShiroKuro This is a wonderful recording! It's so much cleaner than what you prepared for the last recital. Did you work on this one more or did you improve so much in just a few months??
keff — Summertime
The jazz arrangement was a good one! That was a difficult piece which you handled very well. (Performance slips seem to be an inevitable accompaniment to all of our recordings - but I didn’t notice any here … )
iternabe — Malagueña
Wow - only one year into your piano journey? Wonderful! Congratulations to you and your teacher!
Gooseberry Wow, congratulations on creating and playing your own arrangement!
bSharp I love this song, and you played it very much like the soaring power ballad it is. I wonder why the arranger chose to use a different key. They did a good job capturing Steve Perry going slightly off key at the end of the chorus.
Little story, I live in an apartment building, and one time the maintenance guy came by to fix something. When they saw the piano, the first thing they asked was whether I knew how to play Open Arms.
rsl12 Did you work on this one more or did you improve so much in just a few months??
Thanks for your kind words, @rsl12 !
To your question… I don’t think I’ve improved much in these few months 
I actually think this piece (Wind) might be easier than the other (Reminiscence) but also, I wasn’t really ready to record Reminiscence and I think my recital submission was the first take of it. But as I recall, recording Reminiscence really pushed me forward with that piece, and when I played it for family over the holidays, it was much improved. Maybe I should put it back into my program for an upcoming performance….

Sophia - Just a "Good Old Tune"
What a treat, 3 polished performances in one - a perfect match indeed. Sophia, you did so well with the tricky task of keeping everything flowing. Well played - and a lot of fun!
rach3master — Call of Silence: Attack on Titan OST
Pure magic, brilliant in every way. What more can I say!?
plop_symphony — A Hermit Crab Surfing
A confident and sparkling performance, particularly impressive given the short time you’ve been playing.
Player1 — Legend of Madrid
"Raw" or not, polishing can wait! That was very well done, Player1; so glad you struggled through and made it to this Recital.
hebele — Minuet in G
Ornaments and all, in your first year! That was really well done; congratulations on flying through this rite of passage.
Pathbreaker — Op. 116 No. 6, Intermezzo in E major
I stand by my comments over at PianoWorld … 
Calavera — Antipyretic
My comments are over at PianoWorld. Sounded great over here, too! 
WieWaldi — Frisco Blues
Easy to listen to, so relaxed! I really enjoyed this piece and I’m glad you made it in time!
Sam — "An Important Event" from the Scenes from Childhood
You play this with the gravity, skill (and the tempo, I believe) appropriate for an ‘important event’. The extra piano looks at home and elegant, there’s lots of space in your music room … just saying …
SalmonJack — Just Mist
(My comments are over at PianoWorld; I enjoyed another listen.)
Rob — Pembrokeshire Promise
A gentle, haunting theme, sensitively played - what a moving and beautiful composition. I loved it. Thank you!
Greta99 I had only heard of Mel Bonis's compositions for children, so it was great to hear something that... I suppose is technically still for children, being a lullaby, but you get the point. I thought your playing was lovely and very well controlled.
