Well here’s a go at a recording. One of the tricky things for me is the amount of repetition, so do you change things slightly, or do you not? Anyway, a work in progress.

  Angela Fogg Lovely! Thank you for posting. The piece does have a lot of repetitions, but I didn't mind them in your performance.

  Angela Fogg Loved it Angela! Very nice playing. Hard to manage the sentimentality in some of these pieces but you did it great.

Ah, love this piece. Not quite there yet, so I'll keep practicing.

(The middle section is quite tricky.)

  Jarkko Janhunen the sound you're creating is lovely - and the tender atmosphere, the melancholy mood of the piece is there already.
