It would be good if there was something you could do about the recording quality...

Also, ajlongspiano has put out a recent version of this, you may want to take a look and discuss it with him, after all, you're both neck deep in the same piece ;)

Okay so my impression is that it's good but a little uninspired. There's not quite enough dynamic rhythmic and expressive interest for my taste. It's pretty competent except for a few things but I feel the musical vision needs to be deepened and expanded.

I'd have to know more about your background and musical philosophy, perhaps you're a conservative player and that's your style but I feel you may need to take far more risks in order to really make something worth hearing when there are already heaps of versions of this piece with lots more fine touches and ideas.

Quit good! If you adds more passion, dynamics, rage and love, this will be something great!  :)
