Not bad at all - but I think you need to focus less on individual notes and more in shaping the phrases - feel where they begin and end as if you were singing and not playing -it is death to this beautiful waltz if the listener hears single impulses.

A lovely convincing performance of this "warhorse". I liked it very much.
