I've never liked those sudden fortissimo chords which alternate between the two hands - such a cheap effect! (It can be mitigated a bit if the pianist plays them poco piu mosso IMHO.) The second and third movements are wonderful though. In the third movement, I always think about the story of the great Rubinstein (i.e., ANTON Rubinstein) playing the movement so fast that, by the time he got to the coda, his arms and fingers locked up and he couldn't go on, slamming the piano lid down in disgust - the audience is said to have gone wild with cheers and applause! Even Czerny says the the last movement should not be played too fast, but my imprint performances were Richter and Moravec, so I've never liked performances with more moderate tempos - LOL!
