You should feel pretty happy!  That was very fine playing, indeed.  I just wish I could have heard it on steinway grand in a concert hall. I think all your intentions were there, they just didn't come out at times.  So I won't go into detail. You could use a little more rubato in that lucious Margherita theme. Sometimes you're heavy handed in the accompaniment.  And the last dance of trills, much much lighter.   But, in general, it was a wonderful performance.

Ha! With my Yamaha-Pocket-recorder, not even a steinway grand in a concert hall would sond normal :D But thx. I've been thinking about the slow section, and I have decided to do more rubato, as you said :)
