Looks like this piece is just about ready for performance.  Well done!! 

If you don't mind my asking:  What kind of piano are you playing on?  Is this your usual practice piano?  Do you feel the piano is adequate for practicing?  Do you have trouble adjusting to the action of actual grand pianos used in performance?

This is a rebuilt Steinway L at my college.
I like to play on many different types of pianos and adjust my touch... I own a 1997 Yamaha C3, great tone.

For concert grands I enjoy playing on the Yamaha CFX and American Steinway D (I live in NYC so most of the Hamburg Steinways I’ve encountered are of decidedly inferior quality)
I’ve performed on Bechstein, Weber, Baldwin, Fazioli, Steingraeber - and I still prefer a good American Steinway D or Yamaha CFX
