The indications about phrasing are to play in one line and to pay attention to the 4-bars phrase. It is necessary to connect all the notes of a group and to avoid losing them in a phrase. It is necessary to clarify the high point.
The tempo is not too slow. There are other comments about harmonic progressions, vibrato, bow speed, articulation, intervals, coda, and rhythm clarity - if needed.
About sound quality: the bow has to be more concentrated and to project and change the color in some passages. The imagination is very important to picture the musical idea and to be able to communicate it.
