Haha I think you're living up to your username!
Take more time! Take more time for making music! Your fingers are fast enough, you can get anywhere with them, so don't worry about this, okay? :)

Yes, it's good. But I see you can do better. The video shows that you have the start to a good technique: You seem very relaxed and have very free fingers and wrists.
Though, it's kind of sloppy, some notes are uneven, and some doesn't come at the same time.
So, go back and do it slowly. Make sure your fingers do what you want them to. Even notes, exactly as long or short as you want them, and that they come at the same time.
And don't be "Nah, it's good enough!". You're too good for that.

Haha, this is my slower version, so I was surprised by your comment. I have been thinking about what you said and have really taken it to heart. Not just with this piece, but whenever I sit down at the piano to play anything. I am one of the guilty ones who gets caught up in how fun it is to play and forgets to consider what the audience is hearing. I do like this piece played fast and don't like when it is played too romantically, but I have slowed it down since the recording and, consequently, my brain is able to think about the music and making the voices 'sing' while still concentrating on hitting the right notes and other technical details. Thanks for your comment, pianowolfi - it has been very helpful!

Thank you, pianisten1989, for taking the time to listen and to give me some useful suggestions! I know exactly what you mean, and I knew those sloppy mistakes were there. I have been doing what you suggested and playing it slowly to make sure everything is even and together. I appreciate you having faith in my abilities. I am going to remember what you said about not settling for mediocrity in the things that I play.
