Beautiful piece. It sounds good. There are a couple of things I'd suggest. First, in the opening measures (and similar textures later) I think you should work to distinguish the two upper voices, either by discrete differences in volume on in degrees of legato. Second in the section beginning measure 17, and in similar textures, I think there's a kind of hesitancy Brahms is aiming for, a difficulty in saying what he feels, and it needs a bit more hesitancy in the rhythm, not over the top delays, but certainly not pushing straight through as though in a hurry. Sounds good, though, and it's harder to play than it looks.

I enjoyed that .

Brogers is right. Good advice.
By the way you cannot get enough zen tempo for Brahms. Any unplanned precipitation lowers the intensity.

Nice job
