Oh yes, another thing. I would work on things like dynamics a little bit and certain balance issues. Looks like you have the ability to be able to control which hand or which part to emphasize more, so it's only a matter of knowing which one to emphasize. For example, at 3:06, the right hand is far too loud. It should be an accompaniment for the left hand, and of course, the section right before the recapitulation, which should be piano, then pianissimo...but it sounds "più forte"!
But I think that aside from the awkward ornaments, it's a smooth performance.
Now, this isn't exclusive to your performance because many do this...but I never got why the whole three-staccato-chord motive throughout this movement is always altered by using the pedal on the last of the three chords. They're all staccato...so the pedal shouldn't be used there. In fact, it should be hardly used at all, since Beethoven never wrote pedal markings.
What sheer delight to hear/watch someone so young performing this work with such maturity of understanding and musicality. Thanks for sharing and warm regards from the Philippines, Hannah1 :)

1:35 should be an A natural on the left hand! :P
