I found the tone to be somehow brittle here. I realize it wasn't a great piano, but I think your pedaling had something to do with it. Certain things which need a thin sheen of pedal to coat the sound in space were too dry. You have some good clarity of articulation, but overall there is a certain punchy quality to the sound, particularly when things are f and above. I think the tone needs to be more sustained.

I thought the pedaling in the 3rd movement in could use more work. Some things were too muddy, other things were too dry.
