It's very neat and accurate. Definitely lacking some energy overall for me though. 'alla Turka' implies the Turkish style which is usually more boisterous than typical classical music so some bigger accents and more excitement would be suitable. Some really nice dynamic shaping but the trickier sections were left more flat - it would really shine with more musicality. The Lh balance is a little too strong for me though of course you're right to bring out the down-beat.

Ignomike is right, that this should not only be faster, but also stronger accents, sharper staccato. On your technique, I notice unpleasant gaps like that at 1:03 to 1:05. Try to eliminate these by repetition, and find the most comfortable fingering.

Thanks so much for the feedback and advice!!  :D  Indeed I should look into the fingering, those gaps seem to become more obvious as I try to play faster.
