Nice job. 

You can do a bit more with the dynamics, IMO (though the recording may have something to do with that) - especially just before the end of the middle section, where you maintain much to similar a level to create the building tension needed. The outer sections could also be more cantabile, and consider making the breaths more obvious.

I enjoyed your performance.

Thanks for responding and for your feedback!

Yes, cantabile...that is very important. Every pianist should make that a large part of their study. I understand and all of what you said except for "IMO". I not sure what that means.

"IMO". I not sure what that means.

IMO = "in my opinion"
