The Lento expressivo following the introductory theme is truly magical (rehearsal '8').

yeah, I like the Left Hand concerto better than the G major.
I've played the both, the G major is WAY easier to perform. The cadenza of the Main Gauche is a royal PITA. (of course, it doesn't help that I broke my left hand 25 years ago and it left permanent damage)

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
