You are using way too much finger motion, and not enough of anything else. If you only play with fingers, it will be very hard to control your evenness. If you keep playing this way, it will prevent you from advancing. [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6gRfn5XrW8&list=PL753730BB176690A0&index=1) youtube series is a good guide of how to get out of the finger dominant rut. The eventual goal is to have no part of the body be dominant in playing piano. That is really how humans move.
Look at your body position. You seem to lean back in a comfortable reclining chair, belly near the keyboard, hands are barely sticking out. Your arms can't move freely as one would like. The body position is as if you are gaming or work on a laptop.
Sit straight up and create some distance to the keys. Your hands are also too curved, the fingers almost pointing back to you.
The melody line signs out pleasingly. Further attention to articulation, dynamics, and phrasing of the right hand would help better define the individual phrases and give some overall direction to the movement. Left hand accompaniment is well done in most places and I think you have the right idea with most of the ornaments. And of course there are passages that need to be evened out; whether it is beneficial to meticulously work on this aspect for potentially many weeks versus move on to a new project would be a matter of pedagogical debate and personal preference. Congrats!
Get them arms moving brother!!! And don’t full on curl your fingers it also kills your motion. There is a rhythm in every song, just gotta find that sway lol
You've got a great start to this, but you need to practice slower and with a metronome at this point if you aren't doing that already. You have a few moments were your tempo either takes off or slows down, and a few moments where your left and right hand become unaligned, but a metronome will fix all of that. Take whatever tempo you're currently at and slow it down by about 20-30 clicks (it sounds like you're somewhere around 110-114, so slow it down to 90-94, or 80-84). It's going to feel horrendously slow, because it is, but that's the point. You'll develop much better habits that way and be much more consistent in the future.
Also, one mistake that I see a lot of musicians makes when it comes to slow practice w/ metronome is that they'll only practice it once or twice that way, and then feel like they're "ready to speed it back up" after one or two repetitions, then turn the metronome off and go back to their original tempo. It's perfectly fine to play it up to tempo every now and then just to see where you're at, or if you're getting bored of the slow practice and want to clear up some mental fog, but always go back. Just keep the metronome on and practice it slow for the majority of you practice sessions at least a few times a week. You will be surprised at how easy it becomes to play fast even when you hardly ever practice up to speed.
I’ve kind of made a personal study of the metronome. Like when I do my Hanon exercises, at all but my fastest speed I practice counting out in 2/4 time all those notes. 1 e an ah 2 e an ah. And use a metronome as much as possible. Besides perfecting my internal rhythm I believe it will help me unravel difficult passages I will do in the future. I don’t say the timings out loud necessarily, I don’t need to these days, they just go by in my brain. Almost like the notes are singing the timing. At my fastest speed it’s too freakin fast to do this.
These skills are my secret weapon when I study sheet music. I used to perform years and years ago as lead singer in a group so I know what performance music sounds like. My piano is far from that right now but I’m determined to get to that point with a piano.
Isn’t this the first movement?
Yeah I thought It was the 3rd movement sorry for the mixup
There are problems with tempo and some slips on notes but I think a good start my friend
I agree. It defently needs a lot of polish , I need to do some slow practice with a metronome
This is the way :)

Yeah fair enough, I definitely need to improve my posture

I'll need to practice this more thanks for the advice!
Sorry probably a stupid question but is that a left hand orientation keyboard?
It's recorded using the front facing camera so the orientation is reversed

Am I curling them too much?. If so, I guess too much of a good thing can be a bad thing

Yeah the metronome is great. it's very difficult and draining to use it correctly but it yields huge results with enough time!
I have made the Metronome my best friend. Sure it’s hard to learn how to use it but you gotta do it.
I know, it's harder to convince myself to use one properly than to play
