Like it so much!! And I can't wait you post the fugue.
Couldn't you increase the recording volume?
On some spots you're accelerating, that might be a tiny issue to fix.

I enjoyed listening!  Your runs are very clear, and I agree with quasimodo that in some spots you get a tiny bit faster, but it's not a big deal.

What did you use to record?  The reason why I ask is I just bought a MP3 Player, and when I try to record, the mic has to be a distance, or else you get that static sound (so annoying) and when I listen to it, it sounds like your recording.  I don't have a digital piano like most of the people on this board.

Anyway, great work!

this is full of vitality and life.  it's fun to listen to.  agreed about a few phrase endings that were like run-on sentences.  but, aside from that - wow.  really nice!  most of the phrasing was really great.

this is mostly a question for bach enthusiasts.  should one try to equally terrace dynamics in both directions?  say you have the bass going down - and then the treble going up.  do you try to use equal crescendos of dynamics or does that give too static of an effect?  could one alternate once in a while - making the lh or rh terrace higher at the peak?  almost like you are forcing the audience to fly a kite with you - and taking them through one hand and the other - but only one at a time?
