Apologies for coming in too soon with the 2nd theme and for the few clinkers throughout.

Would love to hear comments, especially from those familiar with the piece.

The word association thread is like a diarrhea; just when you think the sh*t is gone you return to find it coming out still.

Good work!

At the beginning, separate the phrases a bit more. In the middle, however, you seem to cut some of the phrases too short. Try to be more careful at the ends of phrases and work on the dynamics at cadences - loud soft and not soft loud.

Give the phrases/music a bit more meaning and direction. When repeating phrases or playing sequences, play them slightly differently. The 'magic' of the moment when the theme returns could be improved.

Be more aware of the rhythmic features of the piece - enjoy the triplets and dotted rhythms (but don't play them louder).

It may be the recording quality, but aim for even more dynamic variation within the loud and soft passages themselves.

Thanks for the comments! I do appreciate them.

Yeah, I'm not entirely happy with the trio section- I don't think I've completely found my way through it yet..

And yes, I use a wide variation of dynamics- which dont come through due to the camera.
