You are fearless -- bravo!
Edited a day later to add stuff after having read other remarks. I heard a ton of hissing in your sound and really do wonder if you're fighting against your reed.
I applaud your wanting to perform uber-challenging pieces. As an adult learner, I'm often eager to jump ahead myself to "get to the good stuff." And you show that you have the ability to do quite a bit at this stage. (Lotsa fast playing!) However, there's much to be said for mastering shorter, less technically challenging pieces first. Really playing the pants off of them.
Simple does not mean easy, and to my mind it's more impressive to perform a technically easier piece flawlessly, with good technique, exquisite timing, and sensitivity to the role of the accompaniment, than to dazzle with a Name Brand Piece(R). Mastery is impressive.
Congratulations on your achievement!
(I'd be interested in hearing your teacher's perspective. It's got to be challenging to balance good, sequential teaching against the desires of the student to move ahead.)
