This was nice. You obviously have excellent technique. But don't you feel sometimes that your teacher overemphasizes technique at the expense of other things, like phrasing or articulation? There is a lack of finesse in the scales part (they should be more than just scales), and I found the trio a bit choppy. I like you poise and the authority with which you play.

Maibe it´s just me, but I feel you got some sort of odd acentuation, on the very fisrt exposition of the theme, right on the begining. Then wehn you repeat it it kind of get the right feel. Maibe it´s just my impression, or the recording. I miss a more pp feal, when he develops to the second section of the firts part (around 0:30) . Schubert wrote it pp there, but you seem to play if mF or F. Then, axactly on 1:15 when it starts a crescendo up to FF, you are already pretty much there, there isn´t much room for crescendo anymore. Maybe you would hold a little bit, and get dow a little, then go to FF. Around 1:33 you create a huge ritardando, and you repeat it on 4:50. It dosnt exist. I think you might better get more rigid to the tempo on those parts. About the "marcato" section, Maibe you could get more fluidity there. It seems a little mechanical sometimes. I know this is dificult, but Schubert is not meant to be easy, I think.  And about the Coda, you might pay atention to the Accelerando. Schubert calls it to go faster as whe aproach the end, and you kind of make the oposite, you start to get a little slower, what is sort of an ati-climax. Of course, because this little section is so dificult to play fast, specialy for such small hands . Maibe with time, you might whant to bring much more power to this ending.

Of course this piece is dificult for a 10-11 years old like you. You did a good job untill now wrking on the notes, it´s pretty decent. But Schubert calls for much more than just the notes. You are very talented. Propably in one yoer you might be playing this piece with much more understanding, and making it much more beautifull, than it already is. Good Luck.

well done, you've learnt it well.  it could be refined though. it IS already good, and 'great for your age'-as i'm sure you are fed up of being told!  you're obvously a determined young lady and you love your music, and you want to be great for ANY age  ...so.. in my opinion, two main things to improve on...
1) the outer scale sections a bit faster (but maybe this is only personal taste).  If you really phrase the scales beautifully with crisp fingerwork, careful pedalling, good dims and cresc's .. it COULD work really well at your speed.. but i do think ideally a bit faster
2) control and project the melody more in the central B minor section, and part of that is not letting the underneath triplet arpeggios get too heavy. think how the tune should sound ignoring the rest of the notes that goes with it.. it should be rich, firm, nicely singing, and the phrases having well judged direction.. the challenge is to get that effect across even when doing all the other difficult stuff that goes with it.
final point.. you do do the above 2 things pretty well.. but could be even better
