This was recorded in preparation for a piano exam, on the first try after getting home.

1. Etude 65 - 0:00

   This feels like a satire on an indecisive person. After the exposition it builds up to say something — only to fall back and recollect oneself, then makes two more similar attempts, and finally reaches a respectable decision — to abandon the predicament!

2. Piece 2.17 "Impromptu" 0:53

   This is a very nice portrayal of a temperate spirit that experiences their hopes and doubts in a quick but not frantic succession.

3. Etude 70 1:53

   This piece makes the least sense to me. It seems to be strung together from uncoordinated fragments of other music, and the challenge is to play them together as a coherent whole while maintaining their distinct characters.

4. Piece 2.9.1 "Polyphonic" 3:28

   This was my favorite piece from this book before I learned the next one. It starts sad, keeps calm, becomes anxious, and finally uplifting.

5. Piece 2.16 "Melody", bad attempt 4:51
5. Piece 2.16 "Melody", good attempt 5:16

   This is my favorite piece from this book that I can play. It is very expressive, so I won't describe it.

All pieces are written by Naira Serapionyants, published in “School album” in 2013.
