Nicely done!!!! ;D ;D ;D
A few suggestions...note these are ONLY suggestions and im not used to doing this so I might not make any sense, ignore me if you wish......
- phrasing,let it breath more,
- more pianissimo in beginning section and last few bars, l.h. more in the background
-bar 13, a bit more emphasis the a flat, also bar 15 with the b flat, and similar places
well done on this!!!! 8)

Well playd winterwind, the difficulty is finding the correct volume, and balance between melody and the arrpegios, some parts need to be more even.
   If you are really intrested in knowing haw to play this, listen to Daniel Barenboim play the D flat nocturne by Chopin.

I think it is a good effort overall, and you do get the "tranquil" mood of the music pretty well. Here are some further suggestions
- Keep the L.H softer, and perhaps "blurrier", to allow for greater contrast with the R.H and let the melody really "sing" above a subtle accompaniment. You could experiment with the una-corda (left) pedal to help you.
- I would take a slightly faster tempo to allow the phrasing to breathe a little more.
- You could a slightly wider dyanamic range in the R.H, but not too much! Balance and proportion is key

Here's my own recording, where I attempted to do some of these things, albeit not always sucessfully:

what's the d. level on this song? Need to know if I'm good enough to play it. Never dared to try Liszt.
