Oh, I just posted my recording in the first week forum. Let me move it here -
Here is the result of first week. Although I played No 1 before, I just realized that it was more than 10 years ago. It's kinda hard to get back to the condition. Hopefully I'll be able to perform it by the end of the challenge. No 2 and No 3 are new to me. Thanks to this challenge opportunity, so I finally could pick them up. Personal opinion, No 2 and No 3 are easier than No 1. I feel playing 3 pieces together could be a very good program for performance, so I recorded all 3 in one recording.

I've arrived a week late. I will try and get Brahms' Album Leaf piece up to standard in the time left. It was part of a TB video last year I think. I can't remember who gave the talk.

Here is my first post of an excerpt from Rachmaninoff’s Moments Musicaux- #5 in d flat major. I am going to try to post regularly throughout this challenge to make sure I can complete the piece and see progress while doing it. This is actually one of his simpler pieces- technically only things to worry about are lots of flats (and double flats), melody constantly switching between being in a polyrhythm and not, and maintaining a kind of barcarolle feeling with the steady left hand triplets. Harder part is on the dynamics side and having a beautiful singing melody.
