Hey! Welcome! I'm slightly new too. :)
I like your courage. :) You know the notes well. I don't know if it's the audio quality or your playing, but some sections are too harsh-- sometimes when you play solid chords, it just comes out as an uncontrolled sound.
You're coming along great! You've got lots of supporters, I see. :) Also, this piece is in the gr 10 RCM repertoire, which is the level before performers, so like you said, it can be quite taxing. :)

Some very nice moments in the beginning.

I am sure you know about the missed notes in the second pg.
When you are phrasing the faster middle section try dropping down to a pianissimo so the slur/breath marks are more clear.

Everything eles I would say is more subjective interpretive ideas that is my own personal ideas but overall I enjoy your playing and I think you are doing some very musical and great things with the piece.

I enjoyed listening to your video, maybe you can get a better microphone to put closer to the piano next time your record for better sound quality.
