 Schumann Symphonic etudes

This is only The Theme and 3 variations. I'll record the rest later on.
This is probably the most difficult piece I've ever played, so be nice! ;P
I'm supposed to play atleast parts of it on a short festival here in sweden in like 2 month, so tell me what you think

Schumann Symphonic Etudes.

Wow, I just heard Hamelin's recording. Splendid! His recording does not incorporate the posthumous etudes, and I feel the work is so much tighter without them. Schumann's final thoughts were IMO correct.
Well of course those extra etudes (variations, really) are glorious, but Schumann never made things easy. For years pianists have tried to find a way to incorporate those extra thoughts, but I've never heard a convincing solution. Generally I've found that the addition of the extra etudes simply ruin Schumann's architecture, and worse, the piece simply becomes too long to sustain interest. Kissin's recording is a great example of that.
No win situation, alas. I played this piece on my final recital as a pianist (without the extra variations) and it still remains for me one of Schumann's most glorious piano works. Our good mate Thal won't agree, but of course he has not played it, not that it is any concern to him.
Yet Schumann has his share of 'bombs', the 1st symphony ('Spring') is one of the most utterly tedious and uninteresting pieces of music I've ever heard, the last movement in particular being a total waste.
Funnily, driving in the car this afternoon I heard Schubert's 2nd symphony. I enjoyed every moment of it, great stuff, far superior to any Schumann symphony.

Schumann Symphonic Etudes Var. II (Andante) - too difficult for me?
October 06, 2008, 10:01:59 PM by oszillodrom

Hi!
I have just started learning Schumann' Symphonic Etude Var. II (Andante), and it seems a bit overwhelming at the moment. I'm a late-ish starter at the piano: I'm 26 now, I have been playing the piano on and off for several years, before that I played violin and drums.
The last two pieces I've been playing were Debussy's Prelude from the Suite Bergamasque and Chopin's Prelude op. 28 nr.15. I played both of them at my teacher's recital and was actually very pleased with them.
The thing is, I'm told I have pretty good musical understanding and expression, but my technique is not that great.
So I'd ask your advice if you guys think the Etude is still too soon for me or if it's doable (it's quite short anyway)?
Thanks!

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.

Symphonic Etudes opus 13 (sheet music) 
was performed with repeats, but I edited them out. It's on one of the 3 brand new Steinway D's that arrive in NSW/ACT, Australia earlier this year
