This is the Peters edition edited by Wojciechowski.
If you don't have teacher who can assist you in playing this section I would suggest listening to two or 3 recordings of the piece. The David Glazer recording is my favorite. I don't think too much of Sabine Meyer's except for her breath taking technique. However, every artist you listen to will likely perform this cadenza differently.
First play this at a free and every changing tempo, forget how fast you played the first part of the movement. Don't even think about the old tempo, this is a cadenza.
Here is what I was taught
pp the first fremata C then deliberately and not to fast up to the second increasing volume along the way, slurred and hold the high C, make ABSOLUTELY sure it's in tune.
Take a really really really deep breath.
Start really slow and pp tonguing only the first note of each group of 4. The run up and down is all slurred. You should now be about half speed and mf. Tongue the first note of the EGCG then tongue each E in the following EGEG group. Slur the run up and down (use the side key for the high D} and by now you are at high speed and f to ff for the syncopation down. The fermata A should be ff and held, now you are turning blue so time for a pause and another deep breath. Start the next group pretty slow and soft and be pretty fast and mf by the time you hit the F# then start slowing down building in volume all the way. Dramatically and with flair use a slow E to D grace note(not in the music), increase volume then tongue the final C grace note into an ff tongued C
A great teacher gives you answers to questions
you don't even know you should ask.
