<p>PAN Linzi</p><p>Excellent basic quality of piano playing. Very good taste, responsibility, discipline. Even more technical perfection will be possible, there is no reason to doubt about this. </p><p>The c-minor Nocturne is an enormous artistic challenge – not only for a 15 years old girl! It’s so difficult to get the transitions between the parts right. There is a natural tempo limit for the doppio movimento part, and this is also limiting the poco più lento part and its octaves. The Lento in the beginning can be faster, in order not to be too far from a human singing voice and to be able to follow the typical long phrasing signs by the composer. Here the Lento sounds a bit like Largo or Grave.</p><p>Good Etude. Again the advice to use the rhythmic inspirations that should be coming from the left hand, especially from the 4th beat<br />(like in op. 10,4).</p><p>Noble Liszt Ballade, serious and deep. A certain tendancy to relax too much in the slower parts. There are many dolce parts, but just<br />one dolce placido place. Also the pedal points (Allegretto) can help to keep the tension. Another advice would be, never to leave the<br />broken otaves alone, there is always something exciting in the other voices.</p>
