Interesting... interpretation  ;D

Your dynamics and phrasing (and tempo...) need lots of work, and you should make sure you don't add extra beats into any bars  :P

Other than all of that it was great...! You hit lots of correct notes  ;)

Yes it's interesting. To me it's especially interesting because I feel like I hear and see exactly which parts of the piece you like most :) You tend to slow down at these points and you tend to play with a bit of pressure and emphasize the eighth notes, which doesn't come out so well for the overall flow of the piece. You are really getting into it in the middle part.
Other parts don't interest you so much, or you are perhaps even a bit bored with them because you don't yet see the context of them within the whole composition.
I agree with zezhyrule, you should re -read the piece in depth and don't add or skip notes. And try to find a consistent tempo.

Thanks guys! I really wish I would've posted this up sooner. It's been an entire year since I've played that piece, and I totally forget it now.
