Omitting Words

[Jesule]

Hello!. All-right?



"I thought that was brilliant, "THAT WAS" the best piano concert I had
ever heard, and "I" bought it on cd"

1.- Can I omit "that was" in the sentence above? It sounds
really bad!

2.- What about the personal pronoun? Can I leave it out as well?


Thanks in advance!

Hello J.

It sounds slightly awkward; it would be more usual like this:

1. I thought it was brilliant, the best piano concert I had
ever heard, and bought it on cd.
