Great cross-hatching. The lines are regular and the shadows are pleasingly coherent.
"Pirate Jenny" is probably the best song,although the "Pimp's Ballad" is also quite lovely and amusing to sing. All the songs from "The Three penny opera" are fun to sing. It must be their catchiness.

Indeed.
A surprising song when you first hear it. More than a "torch song," it could be called a "scorched earth song."

I've always liked Nina Simone's cover the best, she sells the terror very well.

OH? Do you know the song? It's kind of obscure.

As we say in America, "wow."
If you think it's brilliant, then it must be pretty good.

It's excellent, like those books I use to read when I was little. Actually, it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland kind of illustrations.

Well please download them. It's my goal to liberate the LPs I've never seen available on CD. This is the start of the Toscanini project, Beethoven will be next.

That's a great idea and very generous of you to share them too

Very nice! I like her arms, especially the left one for its bending
On the other hand, I would have erased the line between her nose and her cheek, because it makes her face less recognizable in the amount of thin lines shading. Her apron is so lovable, btw

Perhaps you are right. I was trying to make her face deliberately "blank," but maybe I went too far.
Seriously, thanks for the critique.

Ah, you saw the ship in the bottle! I thought no one would figure out what that was supposed to be.
I also have it here in English:

I love it! For some reason I'm in love with her arms... The whole picture has this wonderful sense of anticipation to it.
I promise I'll make a version of the song for you! I just want it to be amazing.
(This could also be a wonderful Cinderella illustration...)

I'm glad you like it. And I was hoping her arms would look grotesque and violent. A violent, self-empowered Cinderella.
I tried dragging my heals, I wanted yours to go first!
