why the sharp staccato's on the ends?  is that what debussy wrote.  anyways - i like you're debussian feel elsewhere.  a bit rushed sometimes - but, etherial 3/4 of the time.  if you get add pedal to the staccatos - i think they'll sound 'blended' and more romantic.  that's just my interpretation.  dry debussy is like too much pedal in mozart.

say - i have a casio px-310 too.  i love it!  i just got the soft pedal.  now i can 'blend the sounds' better and also play very soft without effort.  GET TWO PEDALS - if you haven't already.  it sounds like you have the soft pedal.  if not - very good control to get soft dynamics, too.

the tempos are up and down all over the place, the bits you can play fast, you do play fast, the bits you cant you just slow down for, doesnt really fit together.
