First Professional Recording!

I posted this piece (also here) on pianostreet.com, and it received a very large response, especially by the concert pianist/teacher David Finney, who inquired about the sheet music. This morning he read through it for the first time, recording his initial impressions. He sent four run-throughs and one fragment (his Zoom recorder's memory card was exhausted).These are just initial run-throughs, but I'm very happy so far!http://www.box.net/shared/drh42gl7bt

Edit: I uploaded one of the tracks too...

Hi Katrina!

This is a beautiful piece here. I like your harmonies and such. Is this David Finney playing on here?

Congrats for the recording! :)

Thanks for posting this!

Beautiful!

Mr. Finney had the idea that it might sound better if it was played much faster than my original "Lento" marking. I uploaded this version over the first one. What do you guys think?

I too like the piece better when it is not performed in a straight-out Lento tempo. This quicker one feels more fitting :)

I basically like the piece, but I think the super-high 8va part at 26-27 and that whole lead up just sounded kind of corny to me, and the shrillness kind of hurt my ears. If it were me, I'd remove that. But overall, it's really lovely -- kind of like just floating on your back in a river.

Really nice demo, Katrina -- thanks for sharing :D
