It's a challenging piece.  Thanks for posting your rec.

I like how you bring out the melody in many of the lyrical sections. 

Overall I feel you could give this piece more direction.  There were times when I wasn't sure where your phrasing was leading to.  You could also give some more carefully placed pedals in the outer sections to give a more resonant sound. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
