Watch your shoulders. You are way too tensed up there, and it shows in your sound. You should watch the phrasings. In the beginning when it does ta-ta-taaaa, ta-ta-taaaa, ta-ta-taaaa. In general it should be singing, but you play it a bit "square" and your phrasing does not make sense. Also watch out to not be cheesy when you want to be expressive. It's not a love movie piano soundtrack, it's a polonaise. You should review the character of the piece. Also watch out your sound production. After you play a note on the piano it can only get softer. Watch out not striking a note too hard after a long value of note. You should watch how you place down-beats and up-beats. I would not stop working on this piece as it is : there is much work to do musically.

Hello,
like Thierry13 told u, watch ur shoulders... it's such a tense. U must avoid it at all cost.
And try to express more musicality and sing all the lyric parts... you should really study more carefully the phrasing. It's kind of too vertical here.

Good luck
