I was fixing some issues with my piano today and decided to try and record this piece while it was open... Still work to do and i am open to suggestions for improvement

Very well played, such a difficult piece ! How long have you been practicing it ?

Personally, I think that the section in 4:40 is played with too much rubato...and from 7:30 onwards it seems like you''ll lose the train ( too fast )u.u And the end, from 8:32 to the end, it was...very strange, why did you do that sudden stacatto ? kinda cuts out the essence, the soul of that final section, which is the most tragic, and the stacatto seems to ruin it ( in my opinion, it's your interpretation )

Anyways I enjoyed it a lot Your technice is amazing. And what a fingers !!

I am playing this piece so I think I can offer some advice. I thought the strongest parts were the first three minutes or so, and the section from roughly 6:00 to 7:30. The other parts could still use some work.

B section starting around 3:00, I think you are using too much rubato.

There are several points where you seem to be sacrificing clarity for speed. The most glaring example is around 5:50. Some of those notes are inaudible because instead of articulating them all, you're playing the run in a blur.

Slow down the coda. You can't handle it at that speed (at least for now, maybe you will be able in the future with lots of practice), and it doesn't need to be super fast to sound good.

Ending chords shouldn't be so abrupt. There is supposed to be a rest between them.
