Thanks, @ABitRusty. Means a lot. 

This is such a great piece to use to figure out dynamics. There are some tricky, at least for me, string crossings, too. This is also great for me to figure out phrasing, as well as the dynamics. 

I haven't done much with vibrato on violin. I used to do it with my cello, but it is completely different, and I think more difficult on violin, because of the odd way it is held, and finger. But, because I was used to it with cello, I try, without trying, to add it where it would be if I had gotten to the point to try it seriously. It sounds a little like vibrato, but I know my movement is not correct, but then, I am not purposely working with vibrato. I hope that makes sense. 

I really really love this Lord Wilton violin. I think it has helped me because it has such a clear sound and rings so beautifully. I can tell pretty much when my intonation is off or on, usually. I have noticed it since I bought it a year or two ago.

Mouse,  I agree your intonation and tone sound good.

I like it. Good job! Slow tunes are relaxing to hear and difficult to play (for different reasons than fast tunes). You have a good solid tone and I can hear the dynamics and yes, some nice vibrato here and there.

I agree about slow pieces, wtw.
