It can also be phrased better and sing out more. It is always prudent to watch out for the tone quality while being passionate. The nocturne is musically sensitive. However, it seems to me a little too straight. The music should reflect the passions, hopes, and dreams of a young Chopin. A little more colors and rubato would make it more interesting. The scherzo is performed very solidly and strongly. The question that remains in my mind is that whether to play this piece forcefully, and etude-like, or to play it poetically, and let the runs glitter with pearl-like colors. I believe the latter is a more interesting approach for this piece.</p>
