The rhythm is very, very inconsistent. Other than that, fairly good. The polyrhythmic section after the octaves is unclear. The thirds could stand to be a lot quieter, which will make them a lot easier.

Thanks steinwayguy for the comments... I guess the rhythm is not the inconsistent thing, its the rubato...there's too much of it! (i've been listening to some recordings and they pull around with this section alot). So I'll try to play in stricter time. I was also recording with a very bad mic so that didn't help the clarity of sound, I will have an update and a new recording soon of this section, if you guys could be so kind and comment on that :)
