This piece is new to me and can't say I particularly like it.

That aside, it does suit your style of playing and the result is very good. First impression is that you could possibly have more fun with it, but as I say, not familiar with the piece.

Not to my taste. Blame Babajanian. Or me.

Nice piece.  I like it!

The music sounds eccentric, perhaps you could emphasize those qualities.  More contrast between recurring elements might work.  Go to town, it does not have to sound clinical. 

Great work here.
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
