Absolutely beautiful.
And how do you do it all from memory? So beautiful, Bill.
❤You were always my favorite pianist, from the first time I heard you play Prokofiev at Yale! Bravo!! Susan Kennedy Bishov
Ditto, Susan, from another Yalie.
Great! Bravo! Love it.
Ah, you play beautifully and with gusto - just as you advise in your wonderful book. I have learned so much from you. Thank you!
Thank you for uploading this.
A delight to listen to
Bravo
This movement cannot be played any better. A moving composition, sensitively interpreted.
Absolutely sublime. And you have the most gorgeous tone and balance. Thank you.
Woah, why so loud? The opening of this piece is marked piano and the "repeat" pianissimo. And where's the crescendo in the split chord section? It's just all loud! And heavy. Even the middle section is too loud. No joyful wedding this.
I've been enjoying William Westney's book "The Perfect Wrong Note", which every piano teacher and student should read, but I didn't enjoy this performance much. Why snatch at those opening phrases? And why play the middle section slower instead of faster, as marked? Above all, where's the magic in this music? Sorry, William!
What a wonderful performance!
Bravos all around! William, what a brilliant performance of one of my favorites pieces of all time!
Thanks so much, Marlowe!
