Hello friends,

Thanks,

It helps if you post the links in order.  ;)

IMO, first movement is a little fast, but that's a matter of taste. Your pedalling makes the non-staccato bits quite blurred, though and overall it seems to lack sparkle.

In the second movement, your timing is less than steady - you might like to check that, and where you place your accents.  Similarly in the third, but less markedly. In the third, the left hand seems a little heavy in places.

Nice performance, but not quite that wow factor.

I agree with this. 3rd movement overall could use more sparkle.
Rhythm seems lacking in confidence from time to time.

When is the competition?
