Hey, you play pretty well. Good interpretation, dynamics, rubato etc.

It could be played a little bit faster and I think that you could use more pedalling here, but thats all up to you.

Technically, make sure that your hands touch the keys at the same moment. Especially in the beginning the hands don't. Maybe it is just because the quality of the recording, but your bass seems a bit lost. Try to emphasis more on the melody in the left hand (that's why it is called the cello etude), play the right hand much softer.

Good work!

I would play the accompanying inner voices inside the keys, within the second escapement.

best,
