you need more convincing phrasing! it goes up, so you could use pedal and a slight crescendo with those runs followed by a slight decrescendo and a rubato or holding back to get a more graceful sound. Actually, just listen to lang lang play it. He hits you over the head with his demonstrative style, but you'll get the point.
