I have followed the 1st edition of Kreisleriana, the most noticeable variations being in the 2nd movement (with minor changes in the repeats of the 1st, and the ending of the 5th---I retained the 2nd-edition reading of the ending of the 4th movement). If I can do better on these pieces later, I will rerecord them and replace some of these versions, as this is a piece that I think can never be done well enough, and I'm likely not to be completely satisfied any performance of mine, at any rate! Check back in 15 or 20 years, and I may be closer to my ideal.....
