Navigation etc.

2nd movement is given as "expressivo" on the front page but more usually "espressivo" on the reduction itself (p.20.)

Fleisher's finale heading has Allegro con fuoco - may have been changed to Allegro for the reduction. Changing tempi in a reduction is not unknown (compare eg: the full score and reduction of Gouvy's 2nd symphony.)
