EDWARD GRIEG. Nocturne, Op. 54, No. 4
Notes are great, nothing to fix there. Beautiful bass, nice attention to detail.
When you are playing, think of breath for the phrases, what you repeat a concept, don't play it the same way twice, if there are layers, make them different so we hear clearly which line you want us to follow.
And when you finish the last chord, slowly, move your hands to your lap.
