Very nice - you seemed in control of that piece.
One thing, though is not to let your left hand get too heavy. Remember, a mazurka is a Polish folk dance so it has to keep that light feeling to it, but as I'm sure Britney has told you, putting some emphasis on the third beat of each bar which you are doing whether you are aware of it or not - another characteristic of the mazurka.
Otherwise, very good.
