I love this piece. It's wonderful. The extensive use of fourths makes it exotic.

That's beautiful how you combined two seemingly incompatible textures, 1) the fast run, and 2) the fourths, sometimes playing the fourths alone as chords, while alternating with the runs and and sometimes playing both textures at the same time.  I liked the "fanale" at the end, with the triumphant chordal 4ths, decorated by the runs. Thank you for not playing it forte with lots of accents. Your more subdued presentation was nice.

It sounds very Japanese indeed. But I can see the similarities to composers like Liszt and Chopin. Namely the long trills, fast groups of notes that are essentially mini cadenzas, and overall improvised feel. It's beautiful.
