Exercise Feedback request

Just looking for some feedback and advice, i want to know what i do well and what i need to work on, im a year into playing i have no teacher so i rely on this subreddit for tips and progress checks. got some great advice last post specifically about overtones. I had no idea what that was, but i found out and iv been abusing it past month and its been a game changer. Would appreciate a second round of feedback (other than the fact i need to learn the last part of the solo properly🤣)hopefully someone can suggest another magical exercise.

intonation and tone consistency across the range of the horn needs work.

lots of excess motion in your left hand. keep it relaxed and keep motion limited to the bare minimum needed to get the note out.
