Nice try

I think though you should get a teacher, because your pedalling, dynamics and note reading needs (quite) some work.

I was fascinated by this "interpretation".  You certainly have the technical material to perform this piece, but...I just don't get it.  What are you trying to get across?  First of all, there is no pulse.  There's no life to it.  It's just a hodge-podge of "rubato", stops and gos, banged out inner notes for what purpose, I can't guess at.  I really think YOU feel something for this music, but I don't get it.  It doesn't come across.  Try playing the opening theme with NO rubato whatsoever.  Try portraying it in a longer melodic line.  It's one of Chopin's longest.  Let the music speak for itself.  You can do it.  Don't add arbitrary hidden notes and rits and accelerandos.  Play it straight.  You played that glorious climax way too fast.  It's the culmination of what went before.  But my basic criticism is the lack of a constant pulsating rythm.  The life of music.

When you tilted your head to the right, I presume you were looking at the music?
If that's the case, it's absolutely OK to have the music in front of you, you know...it's also a lot kinder to your neck too

Okey, I kind of understand it. Or atleast what you're trying to say. Though, it doesn't really work.

But the thing is: Soooo many musicians kind of.. get stuck in this rubato field. Sometimes you have start with a puls. It's ok to start without a puls, but then you have to get it, or none will understand anything.

And slow isn't always deep. Many think so, and plays everything that's slower than allegretto like it was Molto adagio. But it's not. Slow is sometimes (most of the times) just plain slow. Pogorelich made slow work very well, but everyone can't be like him.

Needs a lot of work. The left hand is distorted rhythmically,It must be a steady rolling motion similar to the Barcarolle and Berceuse of Chopin. Rubato does not call for such distortions in the left hand. Notes are accented for no musical reason.Pay closer attention to the pedal markings
You need more control in defining the melody.Chopin said listen to great singers to feel the flow of his melodies. A second voice is introduced to the melody,this counterpoint should be brought out as a duet in the right hand with the left supplying the hushed harmonic accompaniment.
    AS for the middle section - pay closer attention to all the dynamics,tempo markings and expressive markings.  Good luck  You really need a whole lesson on this piece.Your interpretation goes way beyond eccentric
