Great work! The instrument you played on wasn't the best, but you carried it off. I would just say to lighten up the staccati when it's piano.

Yeah good stuff. I agree with birba on the lighten up part. I think the whole piece sounds a little muddy. You have a tendency to drop tempo here and there, but particularly during the main theme. Perhaps that's a memory issue? Or perhaps Rach had a rit. or rubato in there? I'd need to check my score. Either way, I think the march-esque quality of this piece benefits from a very steady tempo, at least for the main theme. But overall great job, this is an awesome piece. Definitely would be interested in hearing another rec. down the road sometime.

Thank you both! It says Ritardando on a few places in the score but I will try what you suggested also. I may make a new recording of this piece with a more steady tempo and lighten up on the staccato, in the near future. Thanks again!
