A few suggestions:

1. I would ritard more in the three ritards written in the intro especially the last one.

2. You slow down in measure 11(?), the one after the long ascending scale(and when this passage appears later).

2. Measure 12 has fp at the beginning, but you don't really change the dynamic much. The D flat section is marked pp so it seems as though you play it too loudly.

Good luck in yur recital!

I know it was only a studio class, but you did not bow to your audience as they applauded your entrance, and your final bow was no more than a perfunctory nod. Don't forget to give your audience full appreciation when you perform.

Your tempo seems to slow down at measure 11-12 and again at the same spot in the repeat, or I sense that some building momentum seems to be lost at this point. It does seem to pick up again immediately after, however.

My score (PWM Edition) has staccato marks throughout the section beginning at measure 21 and while Chopin has indicated some pedal along with these staccato marks, I wonder if there should be no pedal on the last beat (two eighth-notes) of measures 22, 24, 26, 28, etc.

I feel that the left hand is a little too prominent throughout the entire first section (measure 1 - 20). I realize there's a counter melody in the lower part of the left hand starting at measure 12, but it seems to detract from the right hand's work. The balance seems better on the final (repeat - depending on the edition you're using) repetition of the first section.

Do you intend to hold the tenuto chord on beat three of measure 88 as long as you did? It really suspends the forward movement, doesn't it?

I might have wished for a greater dynamic range in this performance, but some of that may be a function of the recording device rather than your playing. There are some sections marked pp, sotto voce or even sempre pianissimo which didn't quite come across as such.

Nevertheless, a nice performance. Thank you for sharing.

I understand what you mean about bowing, the reason for the nod is simple. Things are a bit weird at this school and last time I bowed at a studio class, got comments about my ego.[...]

How much about performance routine and performance etiquette is taught at your school?
