(32,822 posts)The pianos I have access to lack enough resonance to take the beginning that slow. My poor fingers can't handle the flourish before the reprise anywhere's near that fast.
I rate the whole performance rather muted.
Saw Miroslav Kultyshev play it for the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition. Amazing performance with him dripping sweat at the end. He broke the piano.
