Prelude and fugue was my favourite. Thought it was well handled.
I prefer the fugue a tiny bit slower, and i thought there was a tiny bit too long of a pause in the final bars of the fugue (not sure of the bar number) but thats just my preference. still very good
You should be happy with a very successful performance i think.

You've done a good job of learning the pieces, I didn't hear any mistakes worth mentioning. And you play with good technique and confidence.
You've laid a good foundation for now making these pieces more interesting and individual. The Chopin especially -- you played it pretty metronomically. That's not really the right style for Chopin. You did slow down at the ends of phrases and so on, but you could do a lot more. Focus on the right hand and play it as if you were singing it, more organically and spontaneously. In fact, sing it out loud, and then try and match what you do on the piano. Each phrase should have a stronger shape -- stronger peaks and lower valleys. The left hand then follows along. Listen to a variety of pianists on YouTube to see what the possibilities are.
If you feel you've already spent enough time on these pieces, lay them aside for a month and then come back to them. Sometimes that can give you a whole new perspective.

Thank you!
I didn't have a lot of time to practice them (2 months) so I'm pretty happy with this performance.
Thanks again for your comments

At first I was like 'probably another asian prodigy who plays with no emotion', but you got me with this performance. Very nicely done!
I skipped through the video and you play very nicely and with emotion, keep at it.
What were you playing at around 8:10 and onward btw?
