This may be reason why there is such disparity in the first place. Most solutions have been settled with a majority ruling from the vast discography for this work, and often are not what our modern ears are used to tonally. The current full scores disagree on what one should play, and even my survey of around 50 of the major recordings are still divided, with up to five different versions for one passage. The autograph does not exist, and the two copies that do have some differences. The Four Seasons have a lot of opportunity for failure as an arrangement. This arrangement does not take such liberties nor make such detrimental sacrifices.
Other solutions to logistical problems result in distasteful octave displacements and un-pianistic writing.
