Good performance of a tricky piano piece which can sound like a piano exercise if it is played too intense. Started out too intense, but eventually that relaxed touch which is so important to the playing of an etude happened. Moszkowski is no Chopin but he is so underestimated and so under-played. Best piece: "Etincelles" which Horowitz would encore to bring down the house at the end of his recitals. His "Piano Concerto" is up there with the best. It too is underplayed. Discover it and you will love it.

But i hate all that taking your time set up bollocks like why don't you just sit down and play right away? are you tought to do that? or do you genuinely collect yourself to perform?
Ezra Nixon you can’t force him to play immediately. A pianist has to get himself/herself comfortable and haves to try to remember his piece. If he plays immediately, it might not sound so well because he’s not relaxed.
