Poland, Marysia K, 9 yo Recital #4

Марыся, так держать!

Dear Maryssia!

Thank you very much for participating in our recital! I also want to thank your wonderful teacher Ines for submitting your videos.

I enjoyed your performance very much! Even though you were playing on stage, on grand piano and under some stress, you remained focused and played very well! You have a wonderful repertoir with the piano pieces of different characters. I noticed that your sounds production was different according to each piece.

You developed excellent piano posture, your hands and arms are not tensed and your piano technique improved a lot!

I noticed that you also is listening what you are playing. In many of your piano pieces the melody 'travels' from one hand to another - and you making this transformation very smooth.

I also observed that you learned how to play double notes (Bartok, Menuett). I have to compliment you: you handled this technical challenge very well!

Your ability to change piano touch upon changing character especially shown in the 'Variations'.

All the piano pieces are played in a good flow, whithout any stops, delays or slowdowns.

In 'Andantino' you were using pedal and it was very appropriate and timely. You made the end of the piece very artistic with allargando.

I am looking forward to see you at our summer classes and next semesters.

I am going to send you a certificate and little present in a memory of your another great recital!

Sincerely,
