I think it sounds alright, from an interpretation point of view.

The only thing I'd want to fix would be the mistakes. Normally I don't really care about mistakes too much but here there were so many I found it distracting.

Sorry, I really didn't mean that to come off as being rude.
Like I said, no one cares about mistakes as long as they actually ARE mistakes.

Your performance contains so many errors that I wasn't sure they were actually mistakes. Sometimes it sounds like you may have learned the wrong notes in places.

Technically, this piece is a real monster. It sounds to me as though it's a bit beyond your current ability. How long have you had the work for?

I mean, if you've learned it from scratch up to this standard in two or three weeks then I would say it's not too bad. But if you've been slaving away at this piece for 6 months and it still sounds sloppy like this, then it really is too advanced for you.
