Hi, Andy! And welcome to Piano World!

For my taste, this was really an especially good performance. The great last Sonatas of Schubert are loaded with passion and telling little details, and without getting into specifics, I thought you teased out a lot of these precious moments in your rendition. I thoroughly enjoyed the rich singing line, shaping, and tempo in the first part, and was eagerly wondering how you were going to approach the passionate "B" section. For the most part, I agreed thoroughly with the musical line of that, too, although I would strive for somewhat more clarity in the passages leading into the abrupt conclusion. The return and restatement of "A", although I'll give Schubert's writing a lot of the credit for that.

Really fine job, and thanks for sharing! I definitely would listen to you an anything, and look forward to future postings.

Thank you very much! I uploaded some Liszt yesterday too!
