I finally have time to properly listen to the various submissions. Here is a first instalment.
Nightowl A very enjoyable listen! You maintain a solid sense of direction from beginning to end, and there are very appropriate chords and also LH rhythms in the accompaniment. And that modulation to the final major chord is very effective! Amazing that you began playing in Nov. 2023. You pulled it off nicely and I can sense your enthusiasm and motivation. Well done!
Sophia I loved it! You play with a lot of assurance and you do not let minor distractions interfere with where you are going with the music. I note that Simba pretends to be ignoring you and the music in true Puddy independent behaviour, but do not be fooled he/she is enjoying it so much that he/she is actually comfortably grooming while supervising you the entire time. We both enjoyed your playing very much!
Simonb Wow what can I say! I like the mood setting in the first part which sets the stage for your improvisation starting at the 1:27 mark. I am admirative of your abilities and particularly liked the section at around 2:30. Then things calm down for the final very lyrical ending. Thanks for posting!
WieWaldi Let me assure you that your persistence paid off! I really like the arrangement you are using and am impressed that you are a self-learner. Your playing is soothing to listen to, and you are very effective in capturing what I would call the melancholic mood of this arrangement. I am looking forward to hearing more from you.
