Again... like the Chopin - there are parts of this I'm sure are meant to be piano and yet you are playing with a LOT of force... and no I don't believe it's the microphone levels.

It's the way your fingers play the notes - very raised and almost thrust down. This has to be a piece of PURE tranquility - even in the 4-bar forte section (which really only applies to the F# in bar 9).

Shape the melody... give it life, not one static dynamic level.

When you post a piece, the assumption is that it is not something you are sightreading, but something you have been actually working on.  Otherwise, the comments you receive are not very useful to you. And it is not a good use of members’ time to comment on a piece being sightread, except to say ‘ repost when you’ve actually worked on it’.
