Chopin's Mazurka in Bb Op7 no1

Here's my rendition of this piece. I used a bit more pedal than I've heard others use, but hey, it's what is in the score. Let me know what you think, and what I can work on!

Thanks

Very good! maybe a tad bit softer in the left hand, faster trills, and generally a more playful atmosphere--a little use of staccato. But still, good job.
