Greatly improved.

If you look at the first bar, you should notice that in the first set of semiquavers the first two are tied, which you do, and the last two are staccato, which you don't do. Probably a more pleasing effect when the piano is tuned, but do keep it in mind. And in the other similar places where the same thing happens.

Make sure you give notes before rests their full value, you're cutting some of them a little short.

In the B section, just after your left hand first does the crossover and comes back into the bass, those bass notes seem to go missing in action - keep them comparable to what they were.

Further on in the B section, the marking is FF. When Beethoven writes FF, he means it.

Oh, and do finish it.  It does kinda cut off halfway through.

It's coming along very nicely, and some of the above will be easier or make more musical sense when the piano sounds better.  You're into the polishing it up straight, and it's got the bones of a fine performance.
