Very exciting playing at times.  The appearance of the second theme was beautiful.  I'm not convinced about the opening.  It's dotted eighth note rythms, I know, and this is a nervous sort of writing.  But the effect has to be the opposite.  Lackadaisical, so to speak.  It has to sound easy, and I know, it's not.  Maybe a little more pedal?  I don't know.  When the theme returns in the stretto, it sounds great.  Nervous and dynamic.  These are just my impressions.  At any rate, a big improvement from last time.

Thx, for listen :) I don't know what's up with the beginning..! It doesn't sound like that when I play! ;P I'll be more carefull, and will make it a bit more dancing or not as un-even as it sounds.
