1. try playing this on a real piano for fun.

2. learn to half-pedal. your pedaling is too "on and off" type of playing...maybe its because electronic pianos arent as sensitive as real pianos but yeah.

3. work on your ornaments. they arent very clear, and sometimes they are either omitted or muddle out. try practicing it slow, and emphasize on the ornaments so that the waltz melody will shine even more.

4. you unintentionally fluctuate the tempo (you slow down in order to make it easier) so its sounds like youre not 'ready' or sure of this piece yet. again, try practicing at a slower tempo.

5. Make your bass lines more audible in order to give a stronger waltz like feel/rhythm.

But yeah, it was actually good. I liked it.

Nice job. I agree with everything mjames said and maybe try a metronome on it at first to get the tempo steady, then once you have it steady you can slow it up or speed it up as you see fit. Great job though this piece is tough!

Really good work in progress. I haven't heard a better version here on PS. This piece is hard to play as it is supposed to sound but still is attempted by a lot of people with not sufficient skill level ( I guess because the notes are "easy") and sounds horrible. But you are doing fine.  I liked that some sections sounded really clear and even. Some sections where a little mudded (when going up) - so you will probably want to work on those. Also overall more lightness would be needed to make it sound perfect - this will come with more practice. I disagree with mjames - the ornaments here should be clear but by no means there should be emphasis one them - they should be played lightly and nonchalantly. I also liked that you played that long thrill long enough. I enjoyed it.

You're doing very well.  The rallentando after about a minute into it is a nice contrast.  This piece requires the nimblest of technique.  You may need another season of time at the piano to bring this to the next level.
