Sure, let's give it another shot.
Gave it a second (& third listen). At least for the first and third part.
My initial post still stands, unchallenged, at least aurally. Especially for the first part, I have a stronger feeling that the music is going around in circles, not actually leading anywhere but chasing its tail. It would be great if it had some direction, but, with disappointment, I have to re-state my opinion that it does not.
Nikola, I won't invest any more of my time in this work (except for the second part), looking for more insights, at least not without a score. Maybe that made the difference for you, but I still don't have one at my disposal.
I agree that sometimes (sometimes? All the time!), music can be re-approached and felt differently than the initial listen, but this isn't the case, unfortunately.
The cello sonata stands unrivaled (for me). And it is beautiful, score or no score.
And I am sorry if I sound harsh, but I don't like to mince words, either.
