<p>Gu Xinhao<br />Mendelssohn: Rondo Capriccioso, Very sensitive playing. You have very nice phrasing in the introduction. The Rondo is well played with good finger work. And it is tightly controlled. But I think the music could be lighter, more fun and imaginative.<br /> <br />Liszt Waldesrauschen, It has good flow, and is played with energy. But the accompanying hand is too often too loud, causing the melodic line to sound forced sometimes. There should be a marked difference in color and atmosphere between the melody that's in the middle register and the one that is in the upper register. I also find the phrasing to be a little flat, especially in the part that involves octaves. A true virtuoso should make a difficult piece sound easy, and turn an etude into a piece of music.</p><p>Haydn sonata, again, well controlled, great runs. But it needs a better flow. A Haydn sonata also should have some charm, and energy. The phrases need direction.  The music needs energy. <br />Overall, an extremely well trained young pianist. Just remember that the audience can only enjoy the music as much as the performer does. So if you enjoy the music more and thus become more expressive, your music will in turn become more enjoyable.</p>
