I found this one too "notey" overall. I heard some very loud accompanying notes that disturbed the tranquil flow of heart-wrenching beauty.

From the very opening, I hear impatient treatment of the phrases. They are beautiful and need to be treated with greater respect. Don't ever rush.
 It sounds flippant, instead of profound.

Your legato is lacking in many places, and pedaling doesn't create legato where no legato exists.

Practice this one without pedal. In general, it should be more rhythmic, and this includes having more space in between phrases.

Try to find ways of being more rhythmic without just accenting the beats. This will help it sound less notey!
