You've done a good job.  :D I like very much your performance as a whole, as you caught the right character of the sonata. There are some misconceptions (that are related to taste) about the third part. There is something about the balance between the right and left hand, as I can barely hear the dissonance between the accentuated c sharp octave and the B flat major chord. I think that's what it makes the whole movement 'juicy'. I like very much that every voice is played clearly, but I can't hear any breathtaking voice/phrase leading or contrast. I also can't hear a wide dynamic range (some mp, barely a real p, and overall mf). As I said, I really aprecciate your work, but I suspect that your need at least a couple of months to get it to a really great performance. So far, I'm impressed. Hugs, Martha!
