I like the tempo flexibility, the balance between you and the pianist, your intonation and your sound most of the time.
Technically, I think you need to watch for your sound spreading and going flat when you make the crescendos, especially in the throat notes. A little more dynamic range would also be nice.
Musically, you may want to do something a little different with the theme each time it comes back. You tend to play the ritendos in the same place all the time. When you take the theme back after the arpeggios section, I don't think you should play the high E(?) with the same intensity that you played it in the opening. Most of these pieces have some sort of an "arc" a sweet introduction, a high dramatic point, a transition, a recap and sweet ending. You have to find that arc and try to convey it to the listener.
When playing music one has to try to think at many different levels at once: the note, the interval, the phrase, the section and how it all fits together in the piece. I think you have the first four levels in good shape, but may need to think a bit more on how it all fits together.
Nice playing, and keep clarineting!
