Sylvain:
It is very kind of you to share your playing, and you should be commended on playing that is very good, however I have only one suggestion that may be a help to your musicianship. I listened only to the Bruch and I heard immediately that you tend to slightly swell on most notes, certainly on the slower notes which is considered a distraction to the listener and to the music. You have a nice sound, but also do not dwell on it alone as it is not necessary to make the sound itself more important than the music, which should be number one in your preference. Lastly, remember that the clarinet as well as most single-line instrument emulate the voice. It is the ability to play in a vocal manner that attracts the listener. You are a voice, without words.
