I am not a pianist, I was a singer.
Spoiler: I've only gotten through 20% of the book. My book club selections needed attending to and I've had some health issues that precluded reading. I look forward to picking it up again. I did not read the reviews, it was given to me by a friend who is a pianist and also the Houston Sym music librarian.
I thought it was fascinating, not just because he wanted to really learn the piece (I don't remember him claiming it was the hardest ballade but maybe I missed that) but because of his real life job of dealing with Edward Snowden (2010) and editing the Guardian plus traveling quite a bit for the paper. He also addresses pianos, their different characteristics by brand and who likes which ones. He does have face time with some virtuosi discussing the piece.
If this is not interesting to you (snark alert) then by all means spend some time looking up the latest hi-rez recording of the newest babe piananistika.
I consider the book worth my time.
YMMV, yada-yada.
