Hey,
here is a recording of me playing the piece, its a pretty old recording because I'm in my military duty now, so I don't have much time to practice.
please comment a improving review.
thank you.

Good work

Indeed, but it would have been good to rotate the camera, lest you want to strain your neck looking at the video

Nice work!  I'm working on the same piece right now. It's so much fun to play, isn't it?!

Here is my humble critique:

Good driving tempo in the beginning. It really give the machine-like barbaric character that I think the composer was going for.

I like the character change in the middle: it provides great contrast.  When it flips back and forth from "sostentuno" to "a tempo", I would keep try to keep the tempo and pulse exactly the same as what you have in the beginning when it's "a tempo". For me, I like to keep that bit of consistency between part A and part B.  and at 1:45, I think you could be a lot more playful with those eighth notes. Try to not rush through them, and see what you think.  They are a unique section of the piece that gives variety in character. Let them shine!

Too bad the video is flipped. You should try doing another recording at some point. Thanks for sharing.
