Polonaise: certainly you have the skills to play this piece. But I miss the Polonaise- and especially the "heroic" character a lot in the first part. It seems (well, this is difficult to communicate without interacting together at two pianos ) like you rush a lot in that first part. Not within the chosen overall tempo, which I find quite good, but inside of the measures. In the introductory parts you build up tension and expectations which you then don't fulfill it's too soft, too much kept back, too much legato where you would be supposed to play staccato. I like your middle part much more, that one with the bass octaves. Congratulations on that!

Well it's mainly this certain Polonaise rhythm that I miss, where you always need to keep back and give it a little more time between the eight and the two sixteenth notes, and also between the four eighth notes.
