Bravo! There is A LOT of energy in your playing.

I am sure you'll have no problem perfecting this on your own, but perhaps I can point out a few spots that seemed a bit off in my opinion:

mm. 21-22 ... The quarter notes on beat three of the respective measures are marked staccato in my score. You change your articulation there by holding the quarter note for longer than its written value and ignoring the staccato marking.

m. 31 (broken octaves) ... RH: the sound is quite harsh when you start this transitional passage. It is markes staccato, but it is not accented.

mm. 50-51 / 54-55 ... do you have the hairpin dynamics above some of the triplet figures? I think you could enhance the character of your interpretation by adhering to these markings.

m. 259 ... do you have a subito piano on the second eighth note?

I LOVE what you do at the fermatas (mm. 182-83).

When you perform this do you do the repeat? By this point (and especially for Beethoven), the repeat was no longer mere convention, meaning Beethoven actually conceived of its effect...IOW, it is not optional. The movement actually sounds unbalanced without it.

Anyway, just a few things. GREAT WORK!

That´s a very powerfull rendition! You got very good tempo, very clean articulation. The fast stuff sounds awesome. The dinamics are great, and very nice liric sections. I didn´t study this piece , So I cant´go into detail,  but I am studing another beethven sonata. The only think i can say is that it makes a great impression! Congrats!
