I think you play it the best of anyone .... in part you have a GREAT sounding piano and have done a professional job capturing the sound... I have played the first part daily for a year now and now am inspired to learn part 2... Thanks for sharing... You have a new subscriber and your a new favorite... Please post Clair De Lune played through without stopping... I’m sure I will be playing these many many times.... You have a very rare talent...

Beautiful playing! I'm currently working on the first movement of this sonata and the third movement of the pathetique sonata and this recording is very helpful to me in terms of interpretation, thank you very much!

[@pianoinsights6092]

Thanks. I also have performance and interpretation videos on the Pathetique last movement. You'll find them on my videos page.

Your piano has a very warm sound which comes to it's right in this magnificent play. Love it ! What is the meaning of the cardboard box and the book ?

[@pianoinsights6092]

Thank you very much David! The box was needed to keep the cats from getting in and settling on the strings, but was not quite long enough, hence the book.

Would you please give me a tip of pedal control for playing that piece?
