This is a very substantial work. I can see why the 2nd movement is your favourite. It is the most together of your movements in terms of using your material well without drifting off on to other ideas. The first movement seemed to ramble from The Carpenters into an Irish Jig via a slow movement and back again. There seemed to be enough material for another sonata in there. I'm sorry but I didn't listen to the whole movement. The third also had the same problems. It starts with a slow intro after a slow movement. Then there are some ideas again from The Carpenter and Queen. There is a lot of material and not much harmonic contrast in the music. You could get at least another 3 movement out of this movement with more judicious development and some key contrasts. You don't seem to have development sections just new ideas. Fecundity is a great asset to have but you need to use it better.
