I'm learning Chopin's Prelude op.28 no. 6. I'd appreciate any feedback on improving on the attached version!

Not bad.
I would honestly speed the piece up just a little bit, to make the theme in the left hand really sing. Otherwise, the piece doesn't go anywhere.
Also, your RH thirds and things (the notes under the repeated b) seem a tad loud and harsh.
One last note, around the climax of the piece (diminished to F#7 to B minor), I'd get a little quieter, and shape it more, then hold the last C#-A#-C# a little longer.

This is a beautiful prelude. Your playing sounded calm and soothing and I liked it with one exception. The rhythm of the first 4 notes of the theme sounds distorted. First bar is fine and then it starts in the 3rd one. I looked up the score and they are all even semiquavers.
