Chopin Etude Op25 No11

I just love playing this Chopin Etude.

The one below is played WITHOUT pedal

There are some spots I can tidy up somewhere.

I've only listened to the pedal version.

Speed: Inconsistent in the beginning and the end, could have slowed down more particularly during the end to create dramatic effect. Good speed however.
Expression: generally not bad. Bring out the melody just a little more and try to supress the right hand a little more, and maybe shape it a little. Good attempt at melodic shaping. one thing I like about your playing: I think you utilized some rubato.  Just do slow practice with full expression and maybe even hands seperate with expression.

BTW I like this etude A LOT and hope to learn it in 10 years or less.

Since I can't play this myself - I don't feel I can give you technical advice!  The only thing that struck me was that the balance between right and left hand could be refined - you have the notes, which is a massive achievement in itself!

Similar to Op10/8 where the melody is in the left hand and the technical challenges in the right.

Then there's Op10/12 where you have to shape the left hand while bringing out the right hand melodies. Imagine the stuff in the left hand being played in the same dynamic. 

This one has the same challenges for independence of hands.
