Thanks for the response. It went much better than the first time
around (thanks to experience I guess). Though certainly not perfect,
both myself and my teacher believe that it was a success. ;)

I only played two others: Bach's Fmaj prelude and fugue, and
Rachmaninoff's Dmaj prelude of opus 23. The Rach prelude went
beautifully IMO, and the Bach was okay... (you'll probably laugh) but
when I began to take piano studies seriously, I never really did much
in the way of Bach, Hayden, not even much Mozart. Not that I didn't
appreciate their work, but I guess I was silly. Slowly I began to
realize HOW important they are, for technique, for experience, etc.
So, funnily, the above prelude and fugue is my first delve into the
WTC since I was a wee tyke. I plan to delve more.
Thanks again.

No problem :)
