"Molto Agitato"
Yep, it is "Very Agitated" indeed! And brutal. It's not your nice-aunties-tea-and-crumpets sort of Chopin. It's in your face. Harsh even. Which is why I think it is so seldom played or written about.
I like to think of it as the "No More War, You Muthas!" "Don't try busting this Union, sucker!" "Don't EVEN mess with me!" Prelude.
I need to work on my "bravura" technique. Those left hand octaves are killing me.
