This piece embodies cold weather as it is nicknamed the "winter wind". Plus it's been in my head so this is my attempt to purge. But what's not to like, excellent music by an excellent musician.
Music critic James Huneker asserted in a preface to this piece that, "small-souled men, no matter how agile their fingers, should avoid playing it." Personally, I plan to never test my soul in this way...

I'm shocked those ivories aren't bloody after that.
