there are lots of mistakes you are speeding and slowing at certain points, you have to keep the same tempo. also you are making staccato at some points that dont have to be there, it should sound smoother.Practice it slow, in forte, very articulated. When you have very secure withouth any mistakes, play it piano, and more legato. Then it should be ok
Slow it down (quite a bit for the moment) and count.
Hmm, needs a lot of work!
Yes. Where is your teacher at these days ? He shouldn't be letting any of this pass by.
This is in 3/8 time I believe. How do you even count that? I was taught by an online video that 4/4 meant 4 beats in a period of 4, so doesn't 3/8 mean half/quarters beats in an 8 time? Or is it just 3 beats in a period of 8?
Alright. To be honest with you I have no idea what you mean with forte and piano, but I assume from previous experience that it is just a playing style like legato.Thanks for the input, I'll see what I can do! Will do. I'm not exactly sure how to count this piece though. This is in 3/8 time I believe. How do you even count that?

Today I made a new recording with your suggestions (still havn't gone through with it with me teacher, although, he said it was decent a few months back when I had practised it somewhat longer than usual). I havn't applied the piano/forte/legato etc because I'm not exactly sure how to.Is it better than the previous recording?
First off, you need to know what the terms mean. Then, you can apply them.Piano, (written as a 'p') is a dynamic marking indicating for you to play quietly.Forte, (written as an 'f') is a dynamic marking indicating for you to play loudly. Legato is a musical style, telling you NOT to separate notes but play them smoothly, or in other words, together. When there is an 'm' in front of any dynamic marking, it means 'mezzo'. For example, 'mezzo piano' would be to play sort of soft, but almost loud.
Listen, we said slow it down and get it even. Sometimes folks here have asked how slow should one go to get something into their hands. I have replied as slow as it takes to do it correctly, my teacher sometime made that excruciatingly slow. Here is an example of what I mean by that, again if need be sometimes ( not me playing incidentally) : what you have done is somewhat better but not good enough. The accents are totally off for one thing. But don't let that discourage you, I don't mean it to be harsh but to keep working at it.Slow but recognizable :
I'll try David. And those are really slow 0.0. But I'll try a few times on that tempo, thanks!
