pbarach,

Thanks for our comments and links. I just listened to Argerich's performance on the first movement, and while impressive with moments I really like, I'm going to have to give myself some time to digest Schumann. I'll listen to the remaining movements later today. For last night's performance, I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the performers and blame my wishy-washiness on my lack of understanding Schumann's music, and maybe a little on the minor food coma we were in.

I've only been listening to/studying classical music seriously for about 10 months or so and while some composers hit me right away like Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Mahler, Brahms, Berlioz, Prokofiiv, Franck, Dvorak and Grieg(in no particular order), some such as Schumann (at least this Piano Concerto) are going to require some time with me. I also am struggling with Chopin and Liszt piano pieces. Rachmaninoff, I liked right away. I'll figure all this out eventually

Here's to time and lots more listening...
