Hi Everyone,
Here is a recording of Prelude and Fugue No. 14, WTC2. I don’t know if it sounds okay for a competition. If anyone has any suggestions, please suggest and thank you so much.

Nicely done! Some thoughts:

I think overall you need to pay more attention to your touch. It sounds a bit heavy and hard at times. Pay attention to getting a smoother legato, and watch out so you don't make hard accents on certain notes.

Some of the 32nds are not of a consistent speed in the Prelude. Judges will likely pay attention that you don't play things of an ornamental nature that are supposed to be the same in distinctly different ways.

When you have a "sighing" motif with two notes, starting on a higher note and going to a lower (F-E#, for example), you sometimes accent the lower note instead of the upper, watch out for this.

Fugue - think about which voice is the melody at any given time. Yes, you have multiple voices, but there is always one that's the most important at any given moment. Make sure the listener can follow this, so you don't overwhelm the important voice by playing some of the other voices too loudly.
