Another piano update (and recordings)
-
The concert is on Tuesday.... On the one hand, I'm ready. On the other hand, I'm resigned to the reality that nerves will likely play a role and it's going to be a bumpy ride at some point. My goal is just to keep any mistakes as unobtrusive as possible.
I'm pretty sure I shared a practice recording of Sept Song, here are practice recordings of the other two. These are both practice recordings, so there are noticeable mistakes. I guess that makes the recordings a good likeness of how the concert will go.
At least I'm scheduled to play first. 
Moments by Alexis Ffrench (I will play this piece first)

Then I'll play Sept Song (also by Ffrench), and then Reminiscence, but Takashi Kako:

Please listen if you have time!

That's the kind of piano music I like to hear in the car... Nicely done!

Thank you Ron!

Your concert appearance should be fine. Those practice recordings prove that you're ready for the event. I particularly liked Reminiscence.
A couple of asides:
I enjoyed the camera position because I like watching the hammers move as the music is played. I attended a solo piano concert last Sunday to dedicate a new Steinway and they had a camera set where we could see most of the keyboard and also the hammers projected on a large screen during the performance. It added an extra bit on enjoyment.I also like how you've handled the drapes on the window in that room. It makes a very nice background for the video.

@Big_Al thank you for the lovely compliments!!

Nice playing ShiroKuro. As a casual listener who isn't familiar with those pieces, I didn't notice the mistakes.

Thank you!! Hopefully it will be mostly the same when I play on Tuesday!
