Mozart - Fantasy in D Minor

This is me performing Mozart's Fantasy in D Minor on piano.
At about 2:05 to 2:20 I improvised a new cadenza to, embarassingly, cover up for the one that I can never play properly. I like it.
This has been one of my favorite Mozart pieces since I set my eye on it at 16. Ever since then it's been on a regular rotation of pieces I practice for myself. Over the years I've taken a lot of liberties: I shift the tempo around a lot, I've come up with my own dynamics that I think things should be at.
It also exhibits a lot of my performance flaws. Lack of coherent and consistent rhythm. Little mistakes here and there. But I've developed the ending section to have a little more finality than the sheet music calls for, and I think it's better for it.
Nuages Gris - Franz Liszt
Submitted by musikinov on Sun, 2006-01-29 18:20. ClassicalThis is me performing Franz Liszt's late-period piece, Nuages Gris, which translates roughly to "Grey Clouds."
I really love the mood of this piece. I play it with a bit less delicateness than I've heard it played with before. I also took some liberties in a couple of spots.
Recorded on my Studiologic SL-990 keyboard using a Bosendorfer 290 grand piano sample, with a concert hall reverb. Recording was done in real-time.
