You've got a marvelous tone and your Brahms excerpt is quite good too but for Mozart I suggest you practice more with your metronome and try not to do too choppy staccatos. Good job!

@mishugina Thank you for your comment! I really appreciate your critique! :) I definitely need to turn the metronome on more so when I get nervous my tempo doesn't climb lol.

@azndavid6491 I was happy to make finals last time. I really should have taken the time to rerecord and correct some flaws in the Scherzo. Including you, there was a lot of great talent, plus a huge number of entries to review in just over a week! Who was your colleague you referred to?
