very well played!
did you get a little lost at 2:30?  the rh gets into some quick lines and I wasn't sure of the phrasing, the beginning and end points - maybe give this more definite shape?
I can't remember what the context was about this piece in your other post, but it seems ready.  I would just suggest you get it as memorized as possible, to free you up even more.

i didnt actually get lost, the mark here is "calming" so i just intepreted it like that, upon rewatching it. I think it was a bit much. But the head of keyboard from the school said he was quite impressed by this and the other piece i submitted (1st ballade). I think you are right about the lines but i think this part was written as a reflection upon the fast bit before. Thanks for the advice.
