Schubert D-784

I'm working on this piece since October. I can say it is a very difficult sonata (at least for me). Although I hesitated to post it here, I decided it would be good to learn your ideas for the sonata (is it going good, is tempo good, and overall what are your criticisms - well I know piano is out of tune but as it is not mine there is nothing I could do for it). Thank you very much.
Mov I. allegro giusto
Mov II. andante
Mov III. allegro vivace

Of the three movements, I liked the 3rd the best. Nice non-legato touch, good contrasts of colors (your piano is in dire need of work - but, I prefer listening to this music on a worn-out upright rather then a digital keyboard - it sounds REAL!)
The first movement lacks drive - intensity - it's very bland. the tempo is good - and this is what makes this movement so difficult. You play it metronomically perfect - (you had me counting those half and whole notes to see if they were in time!) but there's no impetus to the movement. You've got to search for those colors and dynamics. And I would say longer phrases. (e.g. first four bars is one phrase)
Why did you skip those g octave jumps in the second movement? Maybe a misread? Or another edition.
You have the makings of a fine schubert interpreter. It would be nice to hear it on a better piano!
