I like your Bach.  You take advantage of the the piano's characteristics and yet it's very much in style.  Personally, I play the fughe legato whereas you play it all non legato.  Try phrasing it differently.  e.g. legato from the e-flat to the c, then slur the b-flat and a-flat, non legato up to the slur f b-flat, etc. This is just an idea.  There are many ways to phrase Bach.  Playing him on the piano gives you infinite possibilities.

Thx for the personal advice. Im quite happy with my phrasing, and don't really have time to change it before the auditions, but I'll try it after :)
