3.5 greatBedex | April 3rd 22

I appreciate that these are etudes, and they certainly require lots of virtuosity to be played. But the overall result is not overwhelmingly good. 1,2, or 8 sounds like beautiful impressionist composition, but after somebody tripled the number of notes on the sheet and played by somebody on 16 cups of coffee before 9am. 3 exaggeratees this even further and has almost a bumblebee-like quality to it. 5 and 6 make it work a lot better, and have lots of color to them with some villainous parts, some crazy parts, and more introspective sections. 4 stands apart from the rest as the only track that doesnt feel so accelerated and overcrowded, being a delicate, soft piece with a lot of impressionistic value to it and a slight touch of spice still, whilst 7 is too short to really say much about. 3.3
