Pretty sure there's a lot wrong with it, but what do you think so far.

I think your left hand is extremely underdevelopped compared to your right....

Its not really a reminder, its more like a hint that you're not ready for a piece like this. Every time things start to get a bit more difficult with the left hand you slow everything down.
Maybe start studying other pieces first that work on your left hand, like Chopin Etude 10/12 and later 25/12 and see how far you get with it.
And next time you encounter a problem, dont 'slow down and play over it', but tackle the problem.

Good luck!

It is far from anywhere near ready indeed. But there are parts that sound really well and musical. Those are mainly the parts where pedal is used with care. The beginning sounds really beautiful if
already a bit over pedaled. You should just remind to change the pedal more frequently. In many places, your keeping the pedal down turns everything into a soup. But with more work and discipline you can make something good of this, I'm sure.

Ignore the musical "genius" of Mr/Ms gyzzzmo. Your perfomance was very nice.
