You have a clear separation of melody and accompaniment, which is good.  In slow lyrical pieces such as this we need to think about tone quality more, especially in the prominent parts.  In this piece that is the RH melody.  Work on producing a consistent, even, and singing tone throughout a phrase.  We would want to avoid unintentional accents or unsupported notes in the melody. 

Practice the melody by itself, listening carefully for the shape of phrases and a tone quality that matches the phrase.
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

First of all I liked the audio quality of the video a lot; good playing in general as well! I like how quiet and subtle you got the left-hand bass while the melody was playing.  Quantum makes some very insightful comments that everyone can learn from.
