=======(The Details)=======
I wanted to do something special for the first video of 2020 with this video. It's the longest/most involved Medley I've done for this channel and took a lot of practice to get ready (over 36 hours of total rendering for this video). I think that practiced paid off as the trickier tunes went well (Fairy Fountain and Gerudo Valley).
The phrasing and dynamics could be better but I was really feeling the pressure on this upload due to the length and difficulty of recording it in one take, all the delays and after not having recorded for a while. There are a few mistakes/heavy-handed playing, especially in the Bolero of Fire and Lon Lon Ranch. I was honestly afraid of losing the take due to some stupid one-off mistake in those tracks and it comes off in the playing imo. Those mistakes will be corrected in the sheet music.
Overall I think it was a great take and I hope newcomers and veterans of the channel can both enjoy this video. Now onto the next video!
Your Pianist,
Erik C.
