My recording of Chopin Etude Op.25 No.1 in August 2009. Any comment is welcome. Thanks!

Nice! It sounds really good you know

I assume youve been playing this for a while, and for the final touch i have some suggestions.

1. Get tempo up and make the accompanying carpet of sound more even. This is obvious though, youre probably working on it

2. More rubato, this etude contains alot of single note repeats, which is pretty horrible to play without rubato. Same with the top notes, when you hit the high point in the melody more often than not you need to use use rubato to emphasize it, kind of telling the listener that here is a highlight. Make the phrases natural to you.

3. Dynamics, the same reason as above. You're doing it well in the melody, but in romantic music of this kind a crescendo cant be in the melody alone, at least i feel so. You can also make more use of the deep bass notes, make some stand out.

Neither of these things are lacking in your playing which is very beautiful, but it could be even more so. The interpretation is up to you though, and you only

Thanks for the piece, im going to listen to it again now while relaxing
