The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

Jre, he seems to be only asking for the theme, which in comparison to the entire work, is quite manageable.

I always though that Rzewski was some f'ed up SDC name for Paderewski - and then when everyone started saying this 'people united' piece is one of the hardest pieces written, I thought - hang on, he wasn't a very good pianist and he wrote that minuet everyone plays!
My mistake :-X
