I would appreciate your help (Mendelssohn and Scarlatti)

[lauralr]

Hi!
I'm perfoming the 22th of February so I recorded 2 of the pieces I'm going to play to know what you think about them.
I'm studying piano at the Conservatory but my teacher is really horrible (as a teacher, as a pianist he is one of the best I've ever heard) so I have to do all the hard work by myself and mostly I'm not happy with the results.
In these videos I play Mendelssohn - Lieder onhe worte op.38 no.2 and Domenico Scarlatti - Sonata in B minor, K 27 (L449)
There are some things in the sonata that I'm not sure if they sound good: the pedals or the rubato (as long as it's a piece of Baroque).
I will really appreciate if you take some of your time to hear these videos and write your opinion and advice(I only have 9 days and I'm starting to get very very nervous ).
Thanks and sorry for my English
