Okay... I have to ask - how f$@#ing HUGE are your hands???

I've played the piece before and you did it quite well. I think there's maybe just a 'bit' too much rubato, especially in the beginning of the 'B' section, but you've shown you have the work under your fingers.

He reaches from C1 to G2.
The beginning section, IMO, could use a little less pedal.

As in reduce the pedaling like half/slight pedaling or completely remove it in certain areas?
