Good job — but I have a recommendation for you to try.  I’m not hearing all of the notes in the left hand, particularly the jumps.  Maybe it is ‘red dot  syndrome ‘ where you are nervous to record?  Try slowing WAY down and listen for every note:  can you hear them all?  Is the volume what you want it to be?  You might want to practice the left hand separately until the jumps are as south as glass.

Speed up when everything is the way you want it to be. Speed is not as important as the sound.  BTW ‘minute’ doesn’t refer to the speed, it means ‘little’ 😊

Keep going— you’re getting there with a difficult piece.

Thank you dogperson! Very helpful! Just a few minutes of trying your tip helped a ton and now it sounds much cleaner. Much appreciated
