Very good. As Donjuan rightly said, well controlled and your clarity is brilliant. Only thing I would suggest, is to make it more grandioso, for example, blast those chords out more! Sorry to critisize, but I did enjoy it!

Good stuff, I didn't like the sound of the piano though :( The trills, the last one at 0:28 is just begging for the last trill to be broadened. Then the melody in the LH that follows should not be rushed. As the patterns go downwards on the piano as you near the end of the piece you should broaden your playing, make it sound slightly longer, slowing down very slightly, broadening the LH support. I think some subtle tempo control in your piece in some places will make your playing much more effective.

Sounds good!  The arpeggios at the beginning give the impression of stiffness, but later on it doesn't sound like that at all.  What gives?

Thanks for answers everyone.

I thought that was an appropriate tempo for me, because i wanted to accelerate the tempo in the end. But I agree that it was maybe a little too stiff, heh.

I wondered if I should do these melody-tones slow or fast, it turned out fast.. After hearing other recordings, I guess it's the tomAto-thing  ;D I want these tones fast ;)
