18 Notes per Second in Chopin's 1st Impromptu??!!

On Chopin, his 1st Impromptu and the 18 notes per second Hans von Bülow wants you to play in a particular bar in this piece.
Ever heard of Hans von Bülow? No? Than this is the video for you, certainly if you are a fan of Frédéric Chopin.
Von Bülow was one of the first students of Franz Liszt and the one with probably the most impressive track record. Having premiered many of Liszt's works, being married to Liszt's daughter for a while (she left him for Wagner), Hans von Bülow became in the 2d half of the 19th. century no less than a reference for piano playing and teaching. He had a superior piano class and along with that came dozens of so-called 'Instructive Ausgabe', editions of known works annotated with explanations on a variety of details.
We today mostly reject those scores as being too subjective (we're individuals of the 21st century who want to do our own things!), but put into the context of their time, these scores contain valuable information not only on the way, in this case, Hans von Bülow played, but they also shed light on some aspects on the tradition that is of interest still to us.
So in this particular edition of Chopin's Impromptu opus 29, von Bülow clarifies a trill, that would lead us to play about 18 notes in one single second.
And don't make the mistake here of thinking von Bülow was not serious about this. Because he really was.
