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.

The other comment, contrasted so much to my own - I listened again a few times - Hmmm -I have to say I was wrong -it sounded so different to me on seconds and thirds - wierd -anyway -hope you accept my apology.

no apology needed. I think my playing is somewhere between the two comments

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