• Info: This piece captures something of the lushness of Spring. This performance won't win any awards but I hope it provides some enjoyment. I am aware of many flaws and the obvious mistakes. A more "perfect" take had to be abandoned as, unbeknownst to me at the time, the microphone fell off the piano midway through. Also, the session was interrupted by the need to stop and fix the D5 damper wire. By the time I played this one I was a bit flustered and just wanted to get it done. It's "okay" for an amateur I suppose, but I've played it better. The beginning is off a little, the melodic line is not as dominant as it should be, dynamics are not as stark as they ought to be, and there are a few timing slip-ups. Did not want to miss another recital, however, and a special thanks to Bob Muir for organizing it! I look forward to hearing the talent out there, and participating in the give-and-take of analysis of everyones' work afterward.
