That was excellent, you are at a much higher level than me so its hard for me to give criticism.
 Very well played.

I find your torso movement to be distracting and I wouldn't be  surprised if your brain finds it distracting at the subconscious level.

You play this quite nicely. You shape the LH fairly well.

The tone quality is not so nice in the RH. I think it could be better if you were to change your octave technique a bit-I noticed your knuckle bridge looks collapsed and your wrist comes up very high and as a result the sound is slow, sluggish, and heavy.

It is better to keep the wrist relaxed, supple, and in line with the rest of the playing mechanism. When it comes up that high, the alignment of the elbow, forearm, and hand all take quite a beating and the quality of sound suffers.

How long have you been studying?

Was thinking the same. 

Nonetheless, it is a delightful interpretation.   :)

A delightful little piece, delightfully played. I found bits of it vaguely reminiscent of the Alkan E major one. Very enjoyable. I'll leave the technical comments to the experts as appearances neither interest nor concern me. But I shall remark on your lovely music room; certainly better than my clutter festooned rat's nest.
