what precise playing, well done

Absolutely brilliant playing as always, Ethan!

Congratulations, Ethan! To me, this sonata proves that Haydn was no less great than Mozart and Beethoven. I hope you learn the second and third movements as well, if you haven't already. The first movement demands great clarity with its many thirty-second note passages, and I find the clarity in your performance outstanding! As always, I'm also hugely impressed by your beautiful tone and dynamics.

Only you could keep me listening to Haydn.

Both your playing and recording setup have improved! Was that also a different piano than what’s typically featured? It had a more delicate sound overall. I’m glad you learned to lighten your touch on the keys; when I first heard you play, you used a more firm technique naturally, but lightening your dynamics is also an important yet challenging skill. Well done!😊

I can't speak for Ethan but I believe his other recordings were at home and this is at his exam so probably rhe school piano!! Amazing playing🎉
