You badly need a better instrument, and that instrument should be an acoustical piano! Seems as you are quite talented (g minor Prelude in one week - wow!!!)  but with this electronical toy piano, you won't get far...

i get the feeling it may well be the camera you're using to record with. it doesnt capture any musicality, i might be wrong, but i dont think it's doing you justice.

I know i used a webcam  , its all i have. Yes the piano isn't as good as acoustic, but it was at my dads house ands its all i have there. The piece is nowhere finished though, i missed out huge chunks.

erm isnt it op 23 no. 5?
ive not seen the vid but i think the famous g minor is op 23

edit after seeing it:
Also, i butchered this piece too! I got the basics after a week also, a fairly good piece for you to think you've got it and then it all seems so far away playing it like Richter, for example!
I'd rather not go back and thin k about qwhat i did to this piece and my excuse was my age (15), and even now a year after I feel that i messed up that piece too badly and that i didnt even play rachmaninov!
I'm sure as we grow up (because I'm sure you are not 40 as it says on your youtube profile!) we'll see what a mess we made and play it how it was originally.
Your middle section is nice but if you can play it on it's own, i would reccomend as (no offense) the middle seems cluttered when you add octaves...
Yours is much better than me...
and try to get a better piano, you deserve one
If anyone puts their mind to it anyone can buy a grand piano, it's just what your family decides to spend money on. A missed summer holiday or two abroad can buy you an excellent piano!

Ohh no im not 40, thats a mistake if you look at my piano street profile , i really just turned 15, so therefore i can use that excuse too.
