Hello
Any comments on how to improve my interpretation would be appreciated.

Thank you

I would say overall, you're lacking shape in your phrases. One of my teacher's teachers would say "Oh, it is boring" in a thick english accent when you didn't shape everything.
Also, around 2:45, the rhythm doesn't seem quite right.
You could add more dynamic variance in just about everything, though some of that is probably because of the camera.

Ouw, eye tis bur ing.

to add on i feel like the rubatos are kind of unintentional or due to the fact that you are still not comfortable with this piece..technically..musically w/e


I think you should play slower, get the rhythms right, and try not to deviate from the tempo so much. be strict to the tempo. Once you are completely comfortable, you can begin to add in your flair but try not to exaggerate with the ritards. i mean they can sound cool but if you use them to much it'll just sound like sloppy playing.

but overall i still think its a good attempt. you're in the final stages of studying a piece, you got the notes down, now all you need to do is polish it! I'm assuming you're a self-leaner, right? even more achievement, good job! but the hard work starts here...time to make it beautiful!

Thank you all for your comments and remarks, I am indeed a self learner and I've started studying it only recently - still have a long way to go - that's why I wanted to hear some oppinions.
