Very nice video - the light on the white keys contrasting with the shiny black piano and dark sweater, the pictures of Brahms...
It sounds nice, well done, but most pianists play it with more drama. I recommend you go crazy with it on a full moon or something, play like no one is listening!

Thank you for your kind feedback!. Indeed, a lot more contrast is needed between the outer and middle part. I'll work on it.

What other pianists have you listened to? Do you have a teacher?

The good thing is you know the notes, now to make a drama!
