overall I think you do a quite nice job.  most of the major mistakes have already been pointed out by youtubers, so I shan't comment on them further.  I think the main area where you could improve is in terms of adding more emotional content to this--it just feels a bit dry to me.  this is beethoven after all, and one of his more dramatic works!  listen to recordings by some of the great pro's side-by-side with yours and I think you will see what I am saying.  you've done most of the work, now you just need some fine-tuning.

I got a Zoom H4 for my birthday yesterday. I will try to record some pieces with it.
