This piece is so overplayed by amateur pianists and overhyped by non-musicians that it almost makes me sick even hearing the name.
In regards to your playing, I think you are using quite a bit too much rubato. The improvisational nature of your interpretation doesn't fit the nature of piece very well IMO. Careful of the notes in the second section, I hear way too many pianists just kinda gloss over these notes because of the relative difficulty compared to the first section. Slow it down, try to keep a more constant tempo, and make sure those notes are correct

Well ... I absolutely loath this piece because it has been so overplayed - well the easy first part anyway. You are obviously quite technically accomplished but why the over-use of rubato? It is simply does not fit with the piece. Play it straight at an even controlled tempo throughout and it will sound great.
