Very precise and well articulated performance, for quite an tricky piece. I have been playing this sonata for a fairly long time and thoroughly enjoy it, I thought your registration was well used (infact its very similar to mine stop configuration). Only one thing I thought that didnt work was the long last chord, although that is just down to interpretation and preference. A fantastic performance well done.

@MrJameslongden Thank you for your kind words! I would actually agree with you completely about the last chord. One of the reasons I make videos of myself is so I can watch and listen and become more self-aware of my playing. I have noticed from these videos that I have a tendency to hold last chords for much longer than I find tasteful and it is something I'm working on. Feel free to subscribe to my channel; I'm planning to post a new video every Saturday and I welcome continued feedback.

I learned this sonata a few years ago and you really did it justice. The only thing I would do is breathe a bit more and take your time at the different developments as well as the final phrases. I may go play the piece right now! :)
