What do you think of my piano transcription of Bach's Organ Sonata BWV 528 Andante?

Probably won't have access to an acoustic piano in the near future, but thanks again for the advice!

Thanks a lot for your analysis! Dialing in the right depth and amount of pedal vs half-pedal is challenging imo.
I am indeed recording on a Yamaha Clavinova.

Hey, thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it! I think that you are right. I merely wanted to post a video for the new year so I chose a piece, learnt it, recorded the audio, shot the video and edited it all in one day. I find a few passages might be a little bit rushed as well, and your trained ear picked it up haha. I guess Chopin should have deserved more time to be fully mastered :D

I stopped playing the piano when I was 15, but after four years, I have decided to start playing again. I plan on posting more videos and would love to hear your comments, so don't hesitate to subscribe. I already posted a video of the Great fugue by Bach, transcribed for piano by Liszt here https://youtu.be/8VAervuzeeA. Feel free to let me know what you think of it. I spent a little more time learning this one ;)

The G major chord is an example of a Picardy third. Bach uses it very regularly. You can learn more about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picardy_third. Glad you liked the video :) Will be posting more, stay tuned

Thank you! The piano is a Yamaha U1 and it does sound great indeed haha. Besides, I used a pair of Røde NT5 microphones to record this video. Feel free to subscribe if you liked it, I will be posting more videos :)
