Good approach so far. You have good skills, you can play brilliant and fast. In general you seem not to be very exact in reading the correct notes though. Or you have been using a very different edition than mine( I use Paderewsky) Consult an urtext edition or go through the text again to correct. The beginning I would suggest to play even softer. That should be very smooth and tender. Imagine being invited by the most beautiful mermaid ever. Measure 4 second eighth should be a little bit longer, therefore the following sixteenth a bit shorter. 9: Not too strong yet, it's still beginning and you need to build up tension for a long time. My last teacher suggested me to play the higher note of the octaves louder than the lower.
33-34 some of the double notes missing (cheating? )Also several notes missing 97-98 esp. in lh. 116 last 16^th rh should be f^b likewise 118, 120 last note rh c^b, likewise122. Don't hurry in 130- 132. And read the text carefully also here. In the virtuoso parts are several tied notes you play twice instead of once. Unfortunately i can't go more in detail because there are too many spots with just reading lapses and I have lost two of my pages currently. The build up from 165 to the end you should work out very carefully with slow practising and very fine balanced voicing of the chords. As far as I can hear it should be not too hard for you to give this interpretation the final shape. I guess you are learning pretty fast, but you tend to play a bit scetchily.
