Well, it is a try of course, and I'm glad you are experimenting.
But the ornamenation is so excessive (and stylistically foreign)
that the tune gets hidden by the ornaments. It is more a
caricature of ornamentation than anything else, and one in which
the purpose is to cast a spotlight on the player rather than on
the music.

That style of performer dominated ornamentation is what one
expects in a set of variations on the Carnival of Venice; i.e.,
bold, dramatic, inventive, excessive, and where the hell is the
tune?

Moral: less is more.
