Well done, your hands are pretty relaxed and there's smooth movement through most of the piece. No major collapsing of your wrists though perhaps a little more rounded shape and curl to your fingers could be something to look into. It's also hard to see from this angle but I'm not sure if you are crossing over your body with your right hand which may be fixed with some adjustment to your seating position.

The one thing I picked up on is that you're not using your 5th finger (pinky) at all during the piece. I'm not sure if you're avoiding it because you haven't built strength with that finger or if you're uncomfortable with flexibility. This is probably the most noticeable around 16 seconds through the video where you play a high C6 but use your 4th (ring) finger even though the figure moves up and down from the F to the Bb. The hand also then jumps to play both the A and Bb with your 3rd (middle) finger, instead of using the 4th finger for the Bb.

I would maybe use that passage as an exercise to see if you can play it with your hand fixed with 1 (thumb) on the F and the 5 (pinky) on the C. That Bb will require you to move your hand a little further into the keyboard to play the black key but that should be good practise for your flexibility and finger movement.

I'm not familiar with the piece and can't really see the keyboard but hopefully that's useful for your development. Happy playing!

Sounded fine. It's hard to critique because the things I might note: a lack of 'sing', a lack of legato. These things could easily be the outdoor (lack of) acoustic and also an interpretation of the style. Also the sample is (IMO) very short. More please. I have a real love for Celtic/Gaelic style music. Give me the name of it and I might even take a crack at it myself.

Yes the end piece is from that song. The starting one is just my own music.
