i agree...the part that gave me the most trouble was the G major section that modulates (the part before the recap)

the rest was fine for me

Well I said "the beginning" from the perspective of having it performed with orchestra. It's a quite exposed start. That G-major section is quite complicated but you're going with the flow. The hemioles in the last mvt. are quite tricky in terms of playing together.
