It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: That's Germanic academic thinking! ;-)

The Rach 2nd cuts, at least those used by Kurt Sanderling in his 1956 DG recording, go too far and hurt the overall result, imo. As you doutbless already know, the Rach 4th piano concerto was significantly revised and shortened by the composer. In some ways I like the original better.

Those elaborate lengthy development sections are very much part of the Rach aesthetic. Brevity and elegant classical restraint ain't his thing. I say, celebrate an artist for what he did best, don't complain that he didn't do something else.
