Well, the notes were correct.

Overall, the tempo is too slow. Listen to a few recordings and you'll notice that it's faster than the speed you've chosen.

The phrases need to be shaped better. Think of them as sentences, making a whole paragraph. Just holding long notes with no sense of movement or forward motion makes for uninspired playing.

Your connections between the wider skips are still too bumpy. Think 'fingers ahead' as Robert Marcellus would preach.

Your throat tone A is flat. Either find a different resonance fingering, or don't use one at all, to bring up the pitch on your horn.

Your piano and pianissimos are too soft. You'd never carry over an orchestra at that volume. Raise your overall dynamics by at least two degrees.

Post another video when the above suggestions are incorporated.
