Congratulations!!
Of course there is improvement.
This version is better than the previous.
And if you continue to work slowly it will eventually get even better.

But still considerable number of notes are missing or not articulated enough that they sound weak compared to neighboring notes. At this stage I would recommend using some arm weight so that the volume of each note is comparable. Also playing with metronome would really help.

Good luck with this very difficult etude.

Hi John,

You've worked very hard on this etude.  There are some barely sounding weak notes, and some minor slips on other notes.  The evenness of articulation is considerably improved.  So overall, it's definitely better in my opinion.  At this point I would put this piece away and let it percolate for awhile.  When you return to it in a few months, it will seem easier to you, and some problems will seem to have resolved themselves.  Very good.
