Thanks - impressive, albeit rather obsessive, even after the welcome
shift of mood about 2/3 of the way through. It sounds like it is
constantly striving to get somewhere, but it never arrives. Your
mention of Op. 133 seems apt, although the latter has more contrast,
much more force, and does really get sonewhere.

Very well worth hearing.
