doin great. i'd work some more on the tricky part w/ the 32nds and 5tuplets and such. also your grip seems tense. if you flip your hands over to sort of a handshake position (it'll feel weird at first) it should relax some more and give you some better sounds
well, he's playing it for a high school competition so he would kind of have to follow the dynamics and tempos written in the piece, at least i'm pretty sure its partly-to-mostly judged on that...
okay, i dont know what the music looks like, and yes i don't know there "accelerondo's" or retards" written in, but you definetly need to work on tempo matinance
I am glad you picked this piece, but I think it is a little too advanced for you. You might want to try some easier solos. I put up a video of my performance, you should check it out.
Great job, its a really hard piece, I'm going through it right now. One thing I can say is keep your wrist lower, bring out the accents more, and add your own interpretation of the piece add some of your own dynamics, tempos, etc.
ha. first comment. anyway.. im more of a visual person, so i would say if anything just work on your independence, but the note accuracy is nice. just build up basic fundamentals and the rest will come ;)

There are a lot of tempo changes in this piece. They are written in the score along with the "acclerondo's and retards."

Hey Chris, I really like your video. Keep up the good work.

The one critique I have to offer, other than the people above...
Don't sound so metronomic about it, add some heart and soul into it all.
If you were playing Restless, then play it with your current style in this video, but please, put more into it next time around.
