Stephen,
Six months, and you are playing this well! Fantastic! Thank you for sharing this!
pretty good, for just starting 6 months ago - w/o a teacher.
In the 2nd section, (just after your big pause) there are some notes which are incorrect.
In the 3rd section, (where there are 32nd notes) there is much tension in your technique, and an imprecise placement of one of the lh articulations.. try playing slower with a 'relaxed' hand/wrist/arm..
In the section where (after the recapitulation) , where the lh hand has repeated notes, There rh hand could use some better fingering, and there are a few incorrect notes (which appear to be played quite deliberately)..
A teacher could really help you on your way.
Good luck.
T.
The Pause: I agree.
The 32nd Notes: I agree. I would like to address that as well.
Repeated notes: I agree, however that's not the recapitulation.
First in my opinion, I think you have a great musical idea/sense of what is going on in this piece. You seem to understand the structure of this piece well.
Your tone is good. I don't know if it's because of the electronic piano, or not, but I think it sounds great! At least the theme. On the first two sections, I could use more phrasing, but nothing to big to be changed. For example, your last A is too big. Since it is the end of the phrase, you will have to end lighter... But that's okay, as a pianist who played for six months, no one will expect you to phrase it perfectly. You will learn all about it later.
On the section with the 32nd notes going CGGGAGBGCGDG etc, you need to slow your practice down. This is not something that you get overnight. "Practice makes permanent, not perfect". Right now, you have some severe technical problems that needs to be addressed by a teacher. He/she can help you in making your playing more even, using hands in the most efficient way. I highly recommend you to work on this section with a teacher.
However, I can help you to some extent. Right now, your playing is not even. Like T said, you have a lot of tension in your arms, and you are going to injure yourself as you go on to higher level pieces.
On the repeated notes section, I will recommend you to take the last part slowly as well. I have attached my recommendation for the fingerings and the wrong notes that need to be corrected.
Overall, I think the main focus on you right now is technique and how you handle fast passages evenly. You are not ready for difficult pieces yet. I strongly recommend you to get a teacher.
I like your playing, keep it up!
