Re: Critique my Mozart?

Among the many areas where you need work, the worst problem is basic rhythm. There's no pulse. The movement is written in 4-quarter meter, but it would be hard to know that from the recording. You don't need a teacher to tell you how to "count" this piece, but you have to do it.

People have different attitudes toward using a metronome, but I think absent a teacher to tap a beat on your music stand to keep you in meter, you haven't much choice but to get one out and use it. But don't even think about setting it to anything like a performance tempo at first. Set it slowly, not for the notes, but to make sure your whole, half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes (and their dotted versions) all fit correctly. Don't speed up toward a musical tempo until you have the basic durations worked out. An electronic metronome with a different sound on the first beat may help you catch errors.

While you're playing slowly, you should look at the actual written notes in the scale and arpeggio passages to make sure you're playing what's there and not what you think is there.

Good luck. Slow down and practice deliberately and methodically. Pay attention to basics - rhythm and notes.
