This is a video from my second solo piano recital, performed on July 14, 2013. This recital was a performance of preludes by Claude Debussy, and this piece is La fille aux cheveux de lin (The Girl with the Flaxen Hair), from Preludes, Book I. Apologies for the awkward camera angle - our piano is in the corner of the living room, so it's a bit difficult to film on a Flip camera in a way that can show the performer's hands and profile without the side wall getting in the way. This is one of Debussy's most famous preludes. I was a bit nervous since this was the first piece I performed, and I do think I could have been a bit softer and cleaner overall. Still, I hope my performance comes off as being expressive enough without being overly liberal with tempo and dynamic changes.
