The composer writes at the end of the first movement that 9 minutes might be expected (Dauer des 1. Teiles 9 Minuten) and 16 minutes for the 2nd movement (which encompasses slow movement and finale.) So 25 minutes is a predicted length for the score. There has been a commercial recording, which can be heard in the USA (leased by the recording company) on YouTube. 25 minutes is the duration of that recording.
A 1907 biographical article notes that the premiere was on February 6 1905 with the composer's sister, noted and "temperamentvolle" Carola Mikorey, at the piano, in Dessau. (Monographien moderner musiker, p.175, Kahnt, 1907.)
The full score and parts may still be available for rent from Edition Peters (see WorldCat for evidence.) BSB has the parts of the three versions at BSB Mus.ms.9462-5.
