Lovely!

I can see you have put a great deal of work into this, and it shows.

There were some things you did with the timing around the climax that I thought were a little strange. There was one pause somewhere in particular that I thought was a little overdone.

Also, the witches cackle on the last page could be a little more brilliant.

Overall, excellent work! I'm very interested to hear you play some earlier repertoire!

Right around 3:35 til about 3:45 I thought the timing needed a bit more work, but honestly it's a pretty minor quibble.

Right at 4:17...... can we figure out a way to make this climax SEEM bigger and more climactic, without actually changing what we're doing too much?

Perhaps a little bit more space? The impression that the sound has a bit more mass?
It sounded a little bit trivial, although certainly it was accurate and musical.

Looking forward to the Haydn and/or Bach!

Because otherwise I'd be calling you a high roller.
