Poor recording site. Lack reverb. Too dry.

This was passionate - wonderful. This was all videoed in one take, also a great accomplishment. Oh, just reached 6:46 / 6:47 though. So not one take. I don't blame you for cutting there because it is sort of "Part 2" of the Chaconne. Honestly, no disrespect there, because that is where I would also cut it, and perhaps again at the end (but not sure where yet). I hope you're relaxed when you're playing because it doesn't look like it. I liked the performance enough (audibly) but not visually .... I felt uneasy. I don't mean to disrespect you in anyway, but *help* you if in fact you need 'help'. Your neck looks tight, as does your right arm (both bicep and forearm), and also wrist and finger, and also you shake your head a lot which might not affect the sound... but it seems like you're subconsciously trying to get rid of some tension in the face (which naturally makes expressions to what we are experiencing and/or feeling in the moment), and I don't want you to "wear yourself out" because you're able to make great music sir!

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate that you listend so careful. My aim is to express the music, and if it's sounds sometimes expressive or tenses then it was my musical purpose.. Thank you

​@@alexanderlifland1414 Of course, and you give a brilliant performance. I do notice though that you seem tense a lot, and although this may give a great performance/recording - I don't want you to succumb to an injury that might feel fine at the time of playing, but set in later on! I'm just looking out for your health sir! As long as everything is going fine physically but may look strange then that's okay, but if you're doing damage to your body without knowing it then of course you and I don't want that! Please get opinions from other musicians close to you! I can't be there in person for you... but hopefully others can be. It is just that what I see is a very uncomfortable and strained way of playing! All the best. I hope to hear more of your music soon :) - Love from Australia
