Nice playing!  :D
The recording is unfortunately poor (or my headphones?) so its hard to hear some details, but I can hear that you have the right energy and fine technique for this piece. Practice it slow and you will avoid those minor wrong notes. Very good!  :D

you have good technique for this piece, but you missed a lot of notes.  It sounds like you're rushing too much and you're using way too much pedal.  Like the above said keep practicing it slowly and it will sound much better! :)

Not bad.
The main thing I noticed is that the progressions aren't going anywhere- the shape should not just be up and down the arpeggios, it should be in the voice leading.
Here's a good video to watch-

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I do have trouble phrasing the piece and working out the progressions, (although the recording isn't of great quality either), I will work on this
