Hello everybody!
I've decided to start over. Any advice is welcome :D
(I'm not quite sure how to use pedals)

It seems to be missing a bit.

Maybe repost it if you can play the entire version.
About your current version, you have some strange staccato notes in it wich shouldnt be. And a general advice about pedal: Make sure to release it when notes start sounding blurry.
Only use it when you want to make it sound 'smoothly', but use it sparsely.
