What suggestions can you make for such an exemplary performance? Your bach is the kind that i thoroughly enjoy: using all the colors and nuances of a modern grand to express the baroque spirit. Beautiful tone (though i didn't particularly care for the instrument), very musical and natural phrasing, and great use of the pedal. It was simply prodigious playng.
May i ask how old you are? You've had a great teacher there somewhere.
Bravo!

Thank you very much Birba. It is so good for me to hear such words from you. I'm just entered 15 - a month ago:). Actually I have three teachers (some may think this is unnecessary and harmful, but I'm happy with this) I'm regularly studying with Emre Sen in Turkey, but at the same time I'm studying with Marcella Crudeli in Rome about two or three times a year, and I also study with Diane Andersen (again a couple of times a year) in Brussels.

Wow - I have listened to your post 3 times now and am in awe. 914 is one of my favorite keyboard pieces and I have to say you have done an exemplary job with it - of course you know that I am sure!
If there is only one very very minor issue with, in the last couple of minutes you start to get a little loud with your right hand rather than bring out the internal voices as they change hands like you did previously in the piece. Again, this is a very minor issue and it took me till my third listening to catch it.
Your phrasing is nice, pedaling appropriate, and you strike a nice balance between punch and legato. You should be very proud.
I've been playing this piece on and off for 20 years now and I estimate I am only about 50% as accomplished with the musicality of the piece as you are. Bravo!
