There are some spots where it’s really quite great, then others of less than greatness. The trick with these Viennese tuning pieces is making them sound simple when the shifting and such really isn’t. Make it more consistent. Think out every single phrase, and know what your left and right hands will be doing when you play them! Very nice.
I suggest a bit slower tempo. Sit with a G drone and tune certian passages through out.
