very impressive playing, are you trying to simulate Russian's artillary explosion on Warsaw's home land. I am Sure Chopin would be impressed. You need a steady tempo and perhaps a metronome.  :D
I liked your piano colur, what was it?

Faaaaake.

Either it's someone else's playing, or you're not the person you claim to be. Someone who can play the pieces you say you can play, plus  being a composer, would never play like this. Plus the fact that you've said that you're good in harmony... If you are, you should be able to memorize this piece before even sitting at the piano...

You're off to a good start. I have one important correction, which is that you're playing the rhythm wrong on the dotted notes. That's on the third beat of every measure, in sixteenth notes it should be one-ee-and-UH, not one-ee-AND-uh, which is what you're playing. Do that first, and then work on keeping a steady beat. You can find the piece on YouTube if you want to hear what the rhythm sounds like.
