<p>GU Jingdan<br />A very musically sensitive performance. The nocturne shows a good sense of style. The fingers are strong and clear in the etude. You have a solid command of the instrument, which comes from a superb training.<br />On the other hand, I would like to see more changes of color, mood, and dynamics in your playing. It stays the same too much sometimes. The nocturne is a little too slow for me. Maybe if you let the phrases flow more or have better directions, it would sound more natural and not stagnant. The etude is quite brilliant. But if you can hold back the tempo a little, the right hand might become more articulate and the music more lively. The polonaise is well performed. I would like to see more of the emotional range to bring out Chopin’s poetic temperament. <br />Overall a very solid performance. My advice is to be more daring and imaginative in your interpretation and your music will become multi-faceted, and a joy to listen to.</p>
