( a prime example is the dominant 7 th outline in the left hand between sections in the 16 th var. french overture, when before only the single note , the dominant, appeared, the singing lines, clarity,
and incredibly varied speeds, ( and all this in front of a live audience !!!! ), make this a " must hear " recording. i'm sure it's still out there. </div><div style="position:fixed"></div>
