Hello!

Am actually quite glad there are pianists out there who are willing to take "pop" music originally intended as soundtracks seriously. I think you played the piece pretty well. Techinically sound, no errors at all, beautiful transitions between each musical "phrase", and sure it was on a digital but it was satisfying to listen to - well done!

That said I think your right hand melody needs to "sing" a bit more. Two things I noticed it did:
-stayed largely at the same volume in the middle of each phrase (yes you did the transition INTO each phrase beautifully, but have a listen from 14s on).
-accented, or at least made noticeably louder, the first note of each arpeggio. Ditto for the left hand on this point.

Don't do that! Such accentings with clearly-defined melodies are best reserved, imo, for stormy Beethovens or harpsichord-style Bachs. For a flowy piece like this that might sound a little like Impressionistic Debussy or Ravel, layered, smoothly-transitioning dynamics that give the effect of music heard at a distance would do alot more. You did this well before that 14s mark, and would feel that effect could work wonders if sustained through it.

Of course, that's just my opinion - do feel free to discredit it, but I hope I helped in some way.

Thx for your comment and for the advice on the accents as well'
