poetsgirl: ignore rookie criticism but encourage students (old or new) and encourage the performer who plays or edits or whatever.....beautifully!

schymbros: Very nice interpretation

fabriziobarrera: Justo estoy viendo esto para mi clase de piano en el conservatorio. Me sirvió mucho, gracias.

VFroste: You have great emotion. :) I could really hear the anguish and the pain of a loss. Just some pointers, though. You have to breathe a little more. Flow with the music. Allow the emotions that are so evident in your playing to guide you through the notes. Go to climactic notes. Another thing, careful with the last five measures. The notes are not in staccato, but they are accented. Also, a bit careful with your tempo. :) Overall, it was great. Congratulations!

Kalos00: You need to breath. take your time, sing it, phrase. 

laalaa2000: why its so grey?

facundomaidana: En el compás 6, en la ultima nota de la mano izq. va un la # (la sostenido),tengo la version Urtext, vos cual usas?

mariamusiclover11: you didn't do a ralendando but it sounds great!

xmissypx1999: Sounds Great ! But I think the chords at the end were too staccato, looking at the peice it shows they are just accented - Overall it was a good piece :) You played with alot of emotcion which is really good.. Sounded fantastic (im playing it tomorrow in my g4 exam)

Sheaiskl: dimminuendo needed at 0:42

CaptainGora: You missed an a natural at 15 seconds and 29 seconds but other than that, great job! Very nice playing.

lindmusik: Well played but the reverb sounds unnatural.

PurityPrincess: my exam is tomorrow and I have to play this piece, I really wanna play with as much emotion as possible. You did a great job! Bravo!

Kastanienzweig: It sounds great!

bossel100: when it comes to rhe part where the melody is imitated by the other hand, you play way too mechanic i think and also with the chords in the end you could add more feeling

5tharchmage: i am learning this and its so good. it;s in suzuki vol 5

bakilacat: love your interpretation...my goal to have the feeling etc... what a neat piece. thanks.

atixairbie7: muy bien de esto se trata la pieza expresar el dolor me gusto mucho tu interpretacion espero y mucha otra gente aprenda a interpretar las cosas y no tocar por tocar

Pianda: Very well played and the best perspective on hands I ever saw on Youtube. By the way - much better also than your graphically inspired videos, at least in my view. Very nice light and atmosphere! Suspense-raising and catching.

jasjjb: Again,beautiful tones and nicely played. Thanks

musicoftheuniverse: Schumann is an oddity. His mind best expressed through his solo piano works. I find the first volume of the Dover 3-Book-Set to be the most rewarding for study.

Robert Schumann: Op. 68, No. 16.
