""the reason I wanted to join FS in the first place was to escape the pressures of competitions and auditions"". Ah, I think you have the wrong idea there. This is not an in-house group where favours are passed to and fro: no, your files are treated just as others are. Would you have it any way? ""Not when volunteering one's own free work to public domain for a volunteer project.""—Makes no difference. You want an accolade, a gold star, recognition. You therefore must be willing to cop criticism of your work. Mine was pretty factual ... you can't get away with wrong notes and dynamics. Might be OK appearing in an article, but not featured. I will be nominating Pour le piano for delisting as soon as it is possible: as you are quite aware, the performance of that very difficult work is not of professional standard, although I think you could do it. ""unnecessarily, excessively analytic. ""They're confronted with an almost bar-by-bar analysis where a few general, constructive comments could have sufficed just as well.""—Sorry, ma'am, that's the way to do it. I'm surprised you're not pleased to have this advice. Why would you react to it personally? You need that kind of feedback, and by nominating your work for featured statement you can hardly be surprised to get it. You're not going to be a serious professional if you can't learn from such feedback."
