I quite liked the Grieg. The Haydn, for me, was lacking charm and gracefulness. The tone was too spiky, and not reminiscent enough of string instruments. Obviously very impressive for a quick study!

I don't know and it may well be part of my current lack of expertise but I found the Haydn one quite good, of course it can be improved but I have no real problems with it.

I actually love the spiky-ness of the Haydn. I think your bringing out a lot of character and contrast in the piece and I love the tension of your appoggiaturas. Perhaps more could be done on the repetition of the B theme, but the recording is probably not picking up all your nuances.
