I have barely listened to the Sinfonias, so I wasn't familiar with this one, thanks for sharing!

I think my main advice would be regarding the pulse/evenness of the notes. It's a bit unsteady right now, so I would focus on ironing that out if you want to take your playing of this piece to the next level.

Start out with one of the faster passages that sound uneven in your recording. Practice that passage only for a bit so you don't get overwhelmed. Listen carefully, are the notes even? Practice in slower tempo where you feel like you can feel comfortable and see if you can play the passage very smoothly, with even note durations. Only when you can do this, bring the tempo up a little bit.

Thank you for the insight. I definitely got a lot to work/ improve on with keeping everything steady and even.
