the prelude would have been beautifully played if you just didn't stop after every phrase.  because the tone and phrasing was very good.  but why do you come to a complete stop after every two bars?  it doesn't make sense.  in effect, 4 bars is one phrase, with question and answer so to speak.
as far as the mazurka goes, you're making too much out if it and not letting the music speak for itself.  there's too much rubato and you're distorting the tempo. the second part when it transposes to the dominant almost sounds like a tango.  keep it simple.
and oil that pedal!
