Hi, the recording is very unclear. perhaps you need a different kind of microphone or change the settings a bit

From what I can hear, you did mighty fine to me! I learning this piece and it is a challenging one.
I can only play HT in a moderate tempo now a lot  smoothly.  Anyhow, I commend you
for playing this piece and keep up the practice!   :)

best wishes,

Try not to use rubato, and try to make the right hand part should be more melodious and dynamics must be adhered to. Technically wise, it is okay
Sigh, I have problem with this piece cuz of my pinky  :'(

Have you tried to curve the pinkie some more?  It has to be strong enough to do those arpeggios.
I don't know if you have long fingers or not.  So it's hard to give advice.  But, just keep working slowly with the pinkie.  (by the way, I teach piano). 

best wishes,

; thank you very much. Will you try to post a recording of you playing soon?

; playing the piece without tempo fluctuations and strict adherence to the text. Inertia, space, and time are necessary in much of music, including pieces that are expressions of high emotion. However simple the form is, simplicity is not necessarily a reason to play the piece simply. In a piece so dramatic and emotional the idea of playing it at exactly 176, 190, whatever, and with only the dynamics and dynamic changes written does not really appeal to me. Is what I wrote is highly personal? I don't know. At any rate I just like it that way.

the only recording you'll find of a piece I played is here, just scroll down, okay?
I don't have a mic though and sometime in the future I'll feel up to recording, although
it is more scary for me to perform on piano than with my violin.  But, anyhow, you
can listen to my recording , enjoy!   :)

best wishes,
