Pretty good, though there are a few areas that I can pick out for improvement.  During the piece, do not trying to accent too much in the melody as this would destroy the elegance of the piece. Also, for the bass notes around the 1:30 mark try not to accent it too much.  Some areas during the piece could be a bit smoother, but overall good job on the Chopin prelude! :)

Thanks ano6888, taken on board. The accent didnt seem as great whilst played, it is how it sounds on the recording. Am not making an excuse,  perhaps it resonates too much for my android camera. I will try to smoothen it out as you say, there is always room for imporvement! ;) thanks :) T

Yes, the accent is a little bit exaggerated. I think that your left hand is very controled but your right hand is a little bit out of control (and that's extrange because the difficult part of this Prélude is the left hand! :P )

So, I would try to be careful with the melodic line in the right hand.

Congratulations for your work and keep practising!!  ;)
