I shortened this from 20 minutes (plus or minus a few minutes depending on the performer) to 8 minutes. The details of shortening the piece are described after the video.
In this arrangement, I play through measure 111, then jump to measure 122 (in the first ending). I play through measure 124, and then jump to measure 245. From here I play through measure 273. I modified measure 274 so that the left hand triplets are all Eb-F-F. I jump then to measure 343 and continue the same triplet pattern in the left hand in measures 343-344. Play to the end. This arrangement captured my favorite parts of the work.
