Did you listen to the first movement recording?  What did you think of it?  What could you do better?

IMO, you should re-read the whole first and third movement; you are rushing in parts you don't need to. Remember that Beethoven usually requires a steady tempo. In the tremolo section, the main theme, you are playing way to fast... Allegro di molto e con brio, doesn't mean "Presto Agitato"; BTW have a second look in the accents over the whole passage. In the second theme the music sheet says "a tempo" you should strictly follow that indication, otherwise the whole phrase wouldn't make any sense. Try not to use that much rubato, this sonata is from the beginning/middle period of Beethoven's compositions, it's almost strictly classical and therefore, is not recommended the use of rubato.

In the third movement, the same as in the first, you rush when there's no indication of an acceleration.

Keep practicing, it's a great Sonata and a wonderful piece of music. I've played it a year ago in a competition... I've got third place  :'(

Good luck! Tomás.
