Just a thought while I was doing dishes...
One of the best piano performances I ever heard was the "concours" recital of a former acquaintance of mine. He was too shy on stage, so he quit music even though his family was very important in the Québec pop music scene and could have opened doors for him.
He played (among others) Beethoven's Waldstein sonata, but he did so in a way I had never heard.... standing ovation: the jury and the audience were thrilled beyond description.
The performance advice we gave you is certainly well meant and worth considering. However, sometimes playing out of the box can sometimes be revealing. For example, I'm used to hearing a tight staccato in contemporary music, but I can't stand the stuff!
Discuss it with your teachers and people who know and/or are experienced with your review panel. Maybe just being yourself is best, you can take this advice: you are a very worthy player!
