This is everywhere a more polished work than the original, especially the changed A section into something more flowing, enthralling and interesting (though the old one had its initial charms). I suggest changing the first note of the left hand in bar 17 to D instead of B, and perhaps add a Eb to the left hand to bar 19.
Not sure what you changed in the B section but it sounds good here, especially the inflection at bar 32-35. You could try to work up to a E for the right hand instead of C for a higher sense of tension on bar 55; even though it is good as it is now, there seems to be something missing in that 'climax'.
The return is a minor inspiration as well; the 5-note figure works well with the piece, and the returns of the B section is logical. I do think the Vivace sits too much on the tonic (and subdominant) for it to have any real tension (takes the wind out of b. 66-68), but it sounds a mildly convincing, and is far better than your old A section return. In general, great improvement! Looking forward to listening to more of your compositions.
