Hey Musi.
I listened to your fuge and prelude. I enjoyed your interpretation. ;) Pity, the piano is out of tune as my ear get used to a reasonable tuned piano. :-\, I wish I could have recored it for you on my grand. ::)
Anyway, here is my 2 cents:
At begining of fuge, first 2 notes and the following, requires a better pharsing. I can hear two voices from this fuge correct me if I am wrong.

Both need to improve on your dynamics and shading of tone, try to play some part "pp-p" imagine you are playing on harpcichord' back in Bach's time...

Breath a little in between parts.

All the best   from Australia.

Thanks for replying John :)

Actually there are three voices... guess that shows how much I have to work on my articulation  and phrasing huh.

You're right about the dynamics. I think its partly to do with the quality of the piano, and partly with me, because when I play the Steinway at my school it sounds soo much richer and just alot better! But I have still definitely have to add more dynamics.

Breathing between phrases. I know, its one or my faults :/.  Especially in fast pieces.
