The simplest passage can be the most challenging for a pianist at times for it relies heavily on interpretation rather than on techniques to make it interesting, passionate or lively. It is the time when a pianist reveals his true colors without the mask of busy streams of notes. The simple movements of Jeffrey Buttle's Prelude in C Sharp Minor by Rachmaninoff prior to his first jump spoke a thousand words to me....that doesn't mean there isn't a time and a place for simplicity...It all comes down to the music and the character of the program.
