But personally I find the 2nd mmt a real chop tester. There's not much rest after the opening entry and it's sustained intense writing at a pretty high tes (hanging around Eb I think).
There's also a naughty section in the 1st mmt running up to a series of E's - this leads to a loud sustained lyrical passage.
The last page of the 3rd mmt is also cheeky.
Not saying it's unplayable; just tricky and some very missable sections on Bb!
Then again, if you're considering the VW....
