W.A. Mozart Piano Sonata in F major K. 280 1st mov. Allegro assai

[reisunardi]

I have been fixated on keeping pulse and playing cleanly.
Any feedback would be appreciated!

That's awesome to hear! Staying locked in with pulse and playing cleanly are such important fundamentals, sounds like you're building great habits.

Very lovely, fresh and clean playing! Keep up the good work!

Very good playing, especially for your age - 14?
A little bit of rushing here and there - did you use the metronome?  The sooner you learn how to use the metronome the better.  It really helps with baroque and classical music, as well as 20th century.  I learned to use it late in life - if I had started earlier, I'm sure I would have been a concert pianist (haha).

Once you've gone through the challenging metronome phase, you'll find you have a lot more control over your phrasing, which you're clearly thinking about but can't always pull of with finesse.
