Well played!

10/12
I think your technique is good enough that you could use less pedal in places, for an even more beautiful, expressive, and dramatic sound.

25/1 was very beautiful, with good forward motion and clean, expressive musical thought. I think you lost some steam for the climax, and it was a bit anti-climactic for me as a result. The inner notes could be somehow more integrated into the emotional fabric of the piece. They seem slightly timid in a few places, when they could have done more to support the top line.

Overall a wonderful contribution. You should be very proud of these extremely high-level performances!  :) You have the truly rare combination of good technique and good taste.

Nice. If there s anything that can be further improved, it would be the sustainability of the top notes for the harp and the rhythm, strength and the tension and relaxation of the octaves in the last passage of revolutionary.
