I have to admit - even I was impressed by it. To do that in 1 take shows that you are truly confident about what you are playing.

If you ever get a recording with a second piano (or even better) an orchestra - you HAVE to upload it... I think a lot of people would sincerely enjoy listening to it.

technically this is really great!!
I believe your work now has to be done actually in the slower and quiter places. in many places your playing is too agressive, and you fail to create the correct the atmosphere. plus, if you would use a wider dynamic range in some places it would be great! for example, in the first scale after the octaves, the music must fade away- and you almost don't do any diminuendo.

But this is really great! you create beautiful tension in many places and your technique is great :) just take your time in the slower sections.

This is very impressive, especially as it's a single take. The performance might benefit from slightly more dynamic variety but there are some lovely bits of playing within it. Good luck in the competition, and it would be well worth hearing this if you do get to play it with an orchestra.
