You play this at two quite distinct speed, the second half or so is quite a bit off the pace of the opening. FWIW, I prefer the starting speed, but either way you need to pick just one.

Balance between the voices is generally good, but I get the feeling you are playing the right hand and just letting the left be accompaniament. They are equal and you need to reflect that.

With those two matters sorted, it's going to be quite lovely.

It's a good start, but there are some things you could work on-- you start out playing the songs faster than normal. This is fine, but at about 1:09, you slow down significantly and puts a disruption in the song instead of letting it flow. Also, the left hand does not seem as prominent as it should be. You should keep the song at a steady speed, which would add to the effect of the song.
