Very good , you are playing it to a high standard, are you playing on a electric piano.

Very good, especially the development with thosw octaves. I was wondering, maybe you could try it a bit faster and give it some more dynamic variation. Then again maybe it is hard to hear that on the recording. It's a great piece, I played it myself.

Some of the ends of your phrases, like in the beginning, are cut a bit short for my taste. Maybe a bit more pedal could help give you the right atmosphere.

I think the tempo is fine, just don't rush the tempo in the dotted rhythms -- there's a couple of places where you really are rushing.  There could be more dynamic shading in the melody as well.

Overall this recording has a lot of promise, with just a few obvious deficiencies.  Good job!

I don't think it needs more pedal, maybe more dynamics, but its probably the recording.

Very nice!  I think your tempo is just fine.  My only suggestions are, maybe not to cut short notes quite so short, and  be careful not to phrase those rising dotted eighth-sixteenth note passages (like in the 1st-2nd measures) da-dat  da-dat  da-dat  da-dat  dat, but more uniform, as one phrase.  (Does that make any sense?  ;))

Good work!
