Or actually 2nd mov't introduction to Rondo finale.I'm sure a modern-day piano teacher would wag his finger, but Schnabel creates such a sweet and dreamy sound world by leaving the sustain pedal down as he ushers-in the Rondo's lovely theme, chord changes be damned.
I love it. It's like the clouds clearing after a particularly dark day.
