I'd prefer the first over the second.
Although both are rather overrated.. and overplayed.

the 2nd was the first i listened to. it took quite a while for me to like the 1st, because it was very Mozartian. but after a while it grew on me, and now i like them both equally. the only think possibly that i may prefer about the 2nd is how beautiful the 2nd mvmt is and its ideas are wonderful.
