any comments on this? I'm afraid it might be a little plodding. Should speed it up maybe?

Yes, it strikes me as a bit plodding. It needs to go a bit faster. More importantly, it should have a sense of direction. I felt like I was listening to a series of sections, rather than a single piece telling a story. Wider dynamics will help, too; there were a couple places marked "f" that I felt you were playing "mf".

Having said all that, though, your touch and control seems quite nice. Looking forward to hearing another take in the future!

By the way, what type of piano were you playing?

Thanks Chris, for your comments! I agree that it definitely needs to be sped up, and I'll try to figure out how to make it more of a whole story, rather than disparate sections - I try unifying things with some sort of logic but it doesn't always come through.

The piano is a yamaha p-90, using the default grand piano voice.
