I have also seen you play a few times now, and I am always mesmerized. Thank you for your message and congratulations for your accomplishments so far. You have all that it takes, that is, first rate musicianship, excellent tone, and stage presence.
I love the Szymanowski piece. Heard it a few times by different players, but your interpretation surpasses them all.
