The idiosyncratic phrasing continues through all three movements. Here are two examples from the Allegretto (third movement).

Schubert
Walter
Schubert
Walter
Figure 30. Substantial alterations to the original slurs, dynamics, and articulations.

The transpositions of notes and the arrangement of registers are mostly in agreement between the Walter and Sankey editions to the point where one could conclude they are essentially the same arrangement with different slurring, articulation, and dynamic preferences indicated by the editors. However, Walter has made a few changes, which could either be read as the result of a conscious choice to depart from Schubert's intent or even as typographical errors.

Schubert Walter
Figure 31. Probably an unfortunate typographical error. In the Walter edition, the solo bass line in the piano score reads the same way (E-natural), although the piano part echoes one bar later with the expected E-sharp.
Schubert
Walter
Figure 32. A change in octave and the addition of a slur to the final eighth note of measure 110. This passage is altered this way in each occurrence.
