If I were to offer help on what you posted, it would be to get a metronome (or some PC metronome software) and work those tunes out STRICTLY with the metronome first. You are doing some timing things that can become bad habits. Once you have the pieces down mathematically perfect, expressive playing becomes more logical.
Great job in any case!
NEVER forget to take that BIG, RELAXED BREATH!!!!!!!

Well the American Elegy solo is supposed to be in free time. But I see what you mean with the others. A met is something that I usually just use for exercises, I'll start applying that to music as well. (I'm used to having a conductor haha)
