Hi iumonito!

For the most part, it was well played. The prelude was played extremely well, and I don't think (well, from my point of view) that you can play it better than you did. Now, as for the fugue, what I would suggest to you is to work on bringing out the subject more, especially when there are two or more voices present, and the subject is in the left hand. It seems to be clear enough when it is the right hand.

Thanks for posting!
