If you're referring to a well-circulated bootleg recording, I remember the performer telling me that they did this in order to "recover" before the next movement.
I would say that, in a "small audience" performance, reasonable liberties could be taken, and if playing for a "wide audience" the performer - at their discretion - could ask the permission of the composer.
