 | | The excitement he creates in Eifersucht und Stolz or Die böse Farbe derives from his tight control of the semiquavers, with very little pedal, while Koppel offers a more impressionistic view. |
 | | The final Gs of Eifersucht do seem more ringingly secure in 1940; on the other hand the As of Ungeduld are better placed in 1945, perhaps because Moore allows him a little more time to get them. |
 | | The leap from B to G sharp towards the end of Des Baches Wiegenlied is a little effortful in the first and third stanzas both times, and equally beautifully managed in the last both times (it’s easier to do when the vowel is an "o"). |
