I like this piece.  It has a jazz flavor to it.  Happy, you play very dynamically and professionally.  I hope we hear more from you.  Excellent!

Very nicely done! I like the dynamic range and command you have over the instrument. I don't have my score at hand but I'm quite familiar with it, and it sounds like you worked the fugue out quite well. Your pedal work was nice and sparse. I was just a bit curious about a passage about 20 seconds or so before the coda that sounded a bit muffled, but I'd need to reference the score to be sure what I was hearing.

Great job!

Congratulations!  I enjoyed hearing your performance.  Nice tempo.  You don't seem to overpedal.  A little shorter on the last chord.  Good Luck!
