Lovely piece

I enjoy everything this fine lady plays

[@gahrGoyl]

I really like the tempo! I've never heard it played like this before. The waltzy half beat hop is really great.

[@mengsqmw]

Congratulations!

Really nice rendition, Li. I'm still too busy to memorize this piece, but I like it enough to spend more time on it. Oh, and incidentally, "BethEna" is spelled with an "E".

Hmm, that slight hesitation on beat 3 for the RH, sounds too European. Of course, I may be too biased for the old-time piano style.

Nah, you're right, I don't like Chenyin's Joplin at all, it's very unfitting to the period, especially with that tasteless swinging of the A strain!
