How long have you been playing this piece? :)
Bach is always tricky, but I think you've done a good start.

Some things though:
1. Make sure you keep the tempo. Some rits are ok, but not totally change tempo. It sounds strange when you do.
2. Make more lines and direction. The theme is now basically 3 notes, and them some other note... and so on. The 3 notes are going to the 4th, and the 4th note is going to the next one. Listen more when you play.
3. Play the last chord naturally. Now you're playing it waaay to loud, from what you've been playing before.
4. You Look stiff when you play, and you dound kind of stiff. Ask your teacher about relaxation-exercises.

Now I've said quite a lot, and it can seem harsh, but Bach is very difficult and needs A Lot of practising, and you've got a great start :)
