Woah! Which hall is that? It looks huge! was it a competition or something?

Great playing :) Uhm.. This is probably just my taste, cause most ppl play like you do. Though I would probably play it with less rubato. It's a lot like both the Schubert impromptu in G-flat, and the Chopin etude op 25/1. If you play them with too much rubato, you klind of ruin the simplicity.

Not a bad performance at all!
I used to play this a lot.  I still use it as an encore piece.  I just realized, listening to your performance, I've been playing a wrong note for the past half century.  And no one EVER said anything to me.  In the 7th bar before the end, on the 5th beat, I've always played a c-flat.
Can't believe it...
