I´m not shure if we got diferent scores... I don´t know the bars exactly, because I dont have the sheet music with me. But If I remenber it seems to be a few wrong notes here and there, specialy on apogiaturas. Around 1:50 has more notes than it is actualy writen? or am I listening to much? Anyway, it´s nice overall, but try to take a look at these details, If I´m wrong, apologise me, it might be diferent editions, but it sounds odd to my ears right now.

Very sweet tone, nice nuances, superb delicacy, and very pleasant creative ornamentation. Rendition worth of being imitated. Great!

Wonderful touch!  Clear, smooth,  perlé . But to my taste too many ornaments and arpeggios that are not in the original. I dont know what edition is that but is not a good one. Mozart is the finest composer in my opinion as far as elegance in terms of economy of notes and phrases  is concerned. We have the sensation the one note more or one note less would affect the entire piece in negative terms. We feel that if some particular phrase were a bit longer or shorter, the result would't be the same.
I think you should think about it because you are no doubt a mozartian pianist and this is really something! But when playing Mozart, we can never forget this magic word: balance!
Balance throughout the entire piece.
Congratulations and hope I was of some help.

Thanks for the comments.  I am glad for those of you who enjoyed the ornaments and apologize to those who didn't.  The ornaments are improvised, so some of them are more successful than others.  I shall try to improve my taste in the matter.  I suspect that Mozart would have improvised much more than I did, and of course much better.   8)

Comments of the Menuetto would be most helpful.  I am thinking of performing this soon again next year and hopefully will sound much different.   ::)
