What a wonderful interpretation of Erkki Melartin's "Barcarola"! You have truly captured the essence of the piece, transmitting with impressive mastery the fluidity and serenity that Melartin envisioned. The well-controlled arpeggios in the left hand perfectly evoke the gentle rocking of a boat on the water, while your command of the rhythmic flow gives it a natural, immersive quality. The way you maintain that consistency while exploring the subtle emotional variations demonstrates a deep understanding of the atmosphere Melartin sought to create. Your handling of rubato is sublime. The melody flows with such refined expressiveness that each phrase seems to breathe on its own. The contrast between the more tranquil passages and the more intense moments is perfectly balanced, never losing the elegance inherent to the piece. The musicality you bring to it is truly remarkable, and you manage to highlight the emotional complexity without overwhelming the interpretation, allowing the beauty of the piece to unfold in a natural and authentic way. Furthermore, the technical clarity in executing the faster arpeggios and denser passages shows absolute control over the piano. Your precise articulation and the fluidity of your touch not only display impressive virtuosity but also a deep connection with Melartin's music. It is truly an exceptional interpretation, one that not only highlights your technical ability but also your capacity to communicate the soul of the piece. Congratulations, you've delivered an interpretation that truly does justice to the beauty of this work!

Absolutely superb! A++ These Finnish composers were brilliant. Their compositions "tell stories". Another fine example was the composer Toivo Kuula - Six Pieces for Piano, Op. 26 (hint hint, Gamma please treat us some day!)
