I liked most of it, though here are two points to consider
1) try to be more secure about the notes
2) work on the development, i would not say it is flat but it gives the impression that you don't know exactly what to do there

I am of course saying all this as a music fan, because on the piano I am much below your level!
keep up the good work

Well, the good news is that it IS noticeably cleaner than the previous incantation.  :)

I found there was something businesslike to your interpretation. It could just be because you've been working on it for too long now. You ought to put it away for a few months, and come back to it when you really miss it!

It sounded a bit trivial somehow.... lacking in gravitas!

It doesn't really sound like you love the music that much.

His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more
