I hope it's not too obscure for some people: :)

Nicely done.

Do watch that you keep the triplets as such, so mind your accents - you're inclined to drift off into duplets, especially (but not exclusively) in the last bit.

To my mind, the "pause for effect" is overdone and loses it's impact.

Oh, and do put something up on the video - the blank screen is more likely to distract people into wondering if they've got a problem. Your playing is best, but the score (hard work) or just a suitable picture are fine too.

Thanks for listening, J.  I'm not sure exactly where you think I made some of the triplets into duplets.  I was going for a tempo that would allow a sense of the long line and didn't want the music to sound pedantic or metronomical.  I really don't think Beethoven would have been against using rubato when playing his music.
