Making Schubert's Impromptu D946 No.2 concise

[faulty_damper]

Schubert's Drei Impromptus (or Drei Klavierstucke) D946, are the least played of the impromptus.  They are musically very satisfying, however, even played as a set (that lasts more than 30 minutes to complete.)  The problem with No.2 is that it's more than 12 minutes long and the musical ideas just don't develop enough to justify the length. I'd like to rework the endless repetition of the 2nd, the form of which is a rondo, into a different form so that it is musically concise.  The three main musical ideas do not warrant taking 12+ minutes to explicate.

Can you offer ideas on how to cut and splice?

This is Richter's interpretation:

... which turned out to be pretty terrible in the C section, so here's Mitsuko Uchida's:

You'll notice that Uchida doesn't take the repeats in the A section.
