That is very thrilling, very enjoyable, and brings back memories of my teacher playing it for me over fifty years ago. I am impressed, in particular, by the clarity and delicacy of the passages of close finger work. I have always thought that sort of movement must be difficult for someone with very big hands. More important than technique though is capturing the romantic flair of this type of music, and you do it very well. I do not know enough about classical music to make any suggestions, I'll leave that to the others. Thanks for posting this treat.
