Good job!

In the Grave sections be careful not to de-emphasize the dotted rhythm by creating a hesitation between the short and long notes. If anything a greater sense of the dot is better than a lesser one.

The use of more refined pedaling and detail in phrasing would further add to your already good performance. Also use of the una corda would be a good idea. You could further explore color in the p and pp sections.

Wow! You're really good!
