I LOVE this piece!!!
I don't know what edition you're using, but it's full of misreadings. And why aren't you playing the middle part?! It's like incomplete.
It's a bit too fast. It has to be more plodding - pesante and non legato. To me it sounds like a little stroll in the woods. NO. It has to sound like you're walking with lead boots and can hardly make the next step. Don't accent every beat in the r.h. Only the first and the third. You have to feel the direction of the melody. It goes up and it goes down. And make sure you're playing 16th notes. Sometimes it sounds like triplets.
mm. 19 the left hand should be an octave higher.
mm 23 - 24 you're playing wrong notes on the second and fourth beats.
mm. 36 you're leaving out the harmony of the left hand.
mm. 39 on, the right hand has octaves.
Are you playing a facilitated version?
Come on, you can play the original.
