シューマンとベートーヴェンを混ぜあわせたような作品ですよね。

Wonderful work on an enjoyable piece. Your synchronization is marvelous, especially for such a challenging piece of music.

[@itchy2345]

It's puzzling that his music is not more played widely - remarkablly well composed, I think.

[@Wiilly]

Oh what a piece!! The finale was gorgeous and you played it so well. Can't wait to unearth more gems from Kiel. Thanks for introducing the piece and the composer!

[@itchy2345]

We enjoyed playing this, too. Just the piano was a little overwhelmed.😅

What an attractive piece! I think the influence of Schumann is fairly obvious but Kiel writes inventively and skilfully. You play skilfully too!

[@itchy2345]

Yes, I liked it very much, though there are some impossible metronome markings in the score, we did our best!

@@itchy2345 Nobody but you would know about the metronome marks!
