For a reportedly angry composition by Beethoven, this piece is quite light, though long.
As I do, I transcribed this piece's sheet music into Musescore 3, back in 2021. For this recording, I used Musescore 4, which seemed to playback almost the same, with only trills sounding different than the MS3 playback.

All of my stuff is done in Notion - I don't know Musescore, although I have looked at it. This does have some issues with the attack and dynamics, detracting from the realism. How does Musescore handle attack and dynamics? Are you entering these parameters musically in the score as specific dynamics and, say, accents? The playback in terms of dynamics is 'terraced'. Is this a '.midi import'?
Soulima: MS3 has more control over dynamics, I just learned today. I attempted to 'compress' the dynamics here, that is, make the range between ppp and fff (or whatever the range in this piece was) closer together, but I discovered that there's no value to change in MS4. I will have to look into it.
AFAIK, MS4 is a MIDI2.0 application, and it plays the scores into its own built-in engine. MS3 was MIDI1.0, and it used the Fluid synthesizer for playback.
The instruments in MS4 are quite a bit better than the enhanced soundfont in MS3, and this piece, in MS3, because of the quickly repeated chords, sounds a bit "aliased"(?).
As I've said, I think MS4's instruments and often, playback is better than MS3, but there are a lot of bugs and quirks still in MS4, particularly features not (yet?) implemented.
I don't think it's a .midi import. I believe Musescore uses a MIDI engine for playback, but it's interfacing with the engine via standard musical notation.
Perhaps this one, I will re-upload in MS3, with adjusted values for ppp, pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff, fff and the other dynamic markers to bring everything closer together.
The rondo (or scherzo) used to be the third track musical form of Beethoven's symphonies (expect in the ninth), like in the Concerto #5. Very well done sir.
