nice! it seems like you obviously have techniq capacity, just gotta smooth out some parts, like from around :50 to 1:10 and toward end where notes start getting unclear/uneven (part of it may be due to your piano?). moar painstaking practix i guess. also maybe practice with a metronome because sometimes your rhythm falters, but really not by that much and not often.

Good stuff. Good clarity. Be careful it doesn't sound dry, however.

At the very beginning, the octaves G#-C# in the LH should be legato. Connect the bass notes by using finger 3 on the G#.  That 3-5 in the bass instead of 5-5 will give a nice, articulated slur, just as it is notated in the score.

Check your score around the middle section. I heard a few wrong notes that sounded more like 'learned wrong notes' than regular mistakes.

Bravo! Very good independence of the hands and accuracy.

Legato could be improved overall slightly. Perhaps a bit more pedal, but mainly just better legato with the hands.

Yea, i didn't pedal at all in this recording because im still getting the fingers down..and i still need to figure out the dynamics/crescendo etc..
