It sounds like you became more cheery as the piece went on.  I sense you are gaining fluidity in your transitions between contrasting sections. 
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

Thanks for listening!

I agree. The beginning is more wistful, and the ending more cheery. I've found that the super-fast major scales which I play at the end work really well with a cheery mood. It's a fun trick which I picked up somewhere, where you play a scale with both hands allowing you to basically move at the speed of sound. ;D
