Faster tempi may create fervent excitment,

a restrained tempo shapes a flavor of piquant wit and maintains the tension in between those quarter notes.

Speeding up is actually "easier" in a sense.

Well good, but as the first mmt, just a tad slow :) but brilliant nevertheless.

This is actually the RIGHT tempo

People outside Russia/Former Soviet tend to accelerate Russian compoers' works.

Extraordinary!

Subversive, incisive, mischievous, wildly optimistic, wildly cynical, cartoonish, paradoxical - brilliant.

Shostakovich was such an evil genius. Thanks again for posting!

i especially love the contrast between this movement and the previous one
