how come there's no video of you playing, just pics of Beethoven?

there is video of you playing in all the other pieces.

for example, play the notes below louder, and above notes much softer; it makes it seem like there are 2 voices having a conversation. During the second this same theme comes out, you can try reversing it, ie playing the notes below very softly, and the notes above loudly.Adds some variation. Also at 5:22, it seems that you slow down a bit.You should never change the tempo that much during the fast parts; it should be like a metronome, although you can of course add rubato during certain moments

I usually prefer to play the intro faster, but that's just me. Just something general, you never want to drown out the melody with the harmony; your left hand seems a bit too loud some of the time, especially during the tremelos, and even though it's not that serious, playing the left hand softer would bring out the melody so much more. Also, on the part where your right hand plays notes below and above the left hand, try playing the phrases below and above the left hand with more diference
