 * Nominate to delist as while there are some good parts of the performance I don't think it is quite in "our best work" territory. Ben (Major Bloodnok) (talk) 21:26, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delist the tempo is off compared to the two versions I have on vinyl or on my laptop. It is far too slow and there are some places where it does not sound quite right. --Guerillero &#124; My Talk  17:35, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak delist—compared with that dreadful performance of a piano rag by its own composer that was waved through some months ago, this is good. The audio-eng is fine, and there are lots of things I like about the performance, including the tempo. The negatives are (1) insufficient agogic marking of structural points (a continual complaint by me of non-professional performances in this style—and here, at one point, the agogic pull-back is a second too late, which is weird); (2) the extra key-rips, not in the score, which are really good when minimal, but become cluttering when inserted to this extent; and (3) one or two slips, which by themselves wouldn't matter.
