Concerto in B minor by Rieding

Three days I study the piece in violin. This would be my first classical piece since I always play pop or modern song. I'm finally finish the piece although it's still sight read and I don't memorise it yet. What should be the next step? Should I memorise first?

On this day 1756, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg. I recommend his 1st, 2nd and 3rd violin concertos with Danish violinist Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, here also conducting the London Symphony Orchestra. (edited)
