The/at lyric/jj beauties/nns of/in Schubert's/np$ Trout/nn-tl Quintet/nn-tl --/-- its/pp$ elemental/jj rhythms/nns and/cc infectious/jj melodies/nns --/-- make/vb it/ppo a/at source/nn of/in pure/jj pleasure/nn for/in almost/ql all/abn music/nn listeners/nns ./.
But/cc for/in students/nns of/in musical/jj forms/nns and/cc would-be/jj classifiers/nns ,/, the/at work/nn presents/vbz its/pp$ problems/nns ./.
Since/cs it/pps requires/vbz only/rb five/cd players/nns ,/, it/pps would/md seem/vb to/to fall/vb into/in the/at category/nn of/in chamber/nn music/nn --/-- yet/cc it/pps calls/vbz for/in a/at double/jj bass/nn ,/, an/at instrument/nn generally/rb regarded/vbn as/cs symphonic/jj ./.
Moreover/rb ,/, the/at piece/nn is/bez written/vbn in/in five/cd movements/nns ,/, rather/in than/in the/at conventional/jj four/cd of/in most/ap quintets/nns ,/, and/cc this/dt gives/vbz the/at opus/nn a/at serenade/nn or/cc divertimento/nn flavor/nn ./.


	The/at many/ap and/cc frequent/jj performances/nns of/in the/at Trout/nn-tl serve/vb to/to emphasize/vb the/at dual/jj nature/nn of/in its/pp$ writing/nn ./.
Some/dti renditions/nns are/ber of/in symphonic/jj dimensions/nns ,/, with/in the/at contrabass/nn given/vbn free/jj rein/nn ./.
Other/ap interpretations/nns present/vb the/at music/nn as/cs an/at essentially/rb intimate/jj creation/nn ./.
In/in these/dts readings/nns ,/, the/at double/jj bass/nn is/bez either/cc kept/vbn discreetly/rb in/in the/at background/nn ,/, or/cc it/pps is/bez dressed/vbn in/in clown's/nn$ attire/nn --/-- the/at musical/jj equivalent/jj of/in a/at bull/nn in/in a/at china/nn shop/nn ./.
Recently/rb I/ppss was/bedz struck/vbn anew/rb by/in the/at divergent/jj approaches/nns ,/, when/wrb in/in the/at course/nn of/in one/cd afternoon/nn and/cc evening/nn I/ppss listened/vbd to/in no/at fewer/ap than/cs ten/cd different/jj performances/nns ./.

	Whether/cs considered/vbn alone/rb or/cc in/in relation/nn to/in other/ap editions/nns ,/, COLH/nn 40/cd is/bez a/at document/nn of/in prime/jj importance/nn ./.
Artur/np Schnabel/np was/bedz one/cd of/in the/at greatest/jjt Schubert-Beethoven-Mozart/np players/nns of/in all/abn time/nn ,/, and/cc any/dti commentary/nn of/in his/pp$$ on/in this/dt repertory/nn is/bez valuable/jj ./.
But/cc Schnabel/np was/bedz a/at great/jj teacher/nn in/in addition/nn to/in being/beg a/at great/jj performer/nn ,/, and/cc the/at fact/nn that/cs four/cd of/in the/at ten/cd versions/nns I/ppss listened/vbd to/in are/ber by/in Schnabel/np pupils/nns (/( Clifford/np Curzon/np ,/, Frank/np Glazer/np ,/, Adrian/np Aeschbacher/np ,/, and/cc Victor/np Babin/np )/) also/rb sheds/vbz light/nn on/in the/at master's/nn$ pedagogical/jj skills/nns ./.
Certain/jj pianistic/jj traits/nns are/ber common/jj to/in all/ql five/cd Schnabelian/jj renditions/nns ,/, most/ql notably/rb the/at ``/`` Schnabel/np trill/nn ''/'' (/( which/wdt differs/vbz from/in the/at conventional/jj trill/nn in/in that/cs the/at two/cd notes/nns are/ber struck/vbn simultaneously/rb )/) ./.
But/cc the/at most/ql impressive/jj testimony/nn to/in Schnabel's/np$ distinction/nn as/cs a/at teacher/nn is/bez reflected/vbn by/in the/at individuality/nn which/wdt marks/vbz each/dt student's/nn$ approach/nn as/ql distinctly/rb his/pp$ own/jj ./.


	Schnabel's/np$ emphasis/nn on/in structural/jj clarity/nn ,/, his/pp$ innate/jj rhythmic/jj vibrancy/nn ,/, and/cc impetuous/jj intensity/nn all/abn tend/vb to/to stamp/vb his/pp$ reading/nn as/cs a/at symphonic/jj one/cd ./.

This/dt is/bez a/at serious-minded/jj interpretation/nn ,/, but/cc it/pps is/bez never/rb strait-laced/jj ./.
And/cc although/cs Schnabel's/np$ pianism/nn bristles/vbz with/in excitement/nn ,/, it/pps is/bez meticulously/ql faithful/jj to/in Schubert's/np$ dynamic/jj markings/nns and/cc phrase/nn indications/nns ./.

	Records/nns sound/vb like/cs records/nns because/cs they/ppss provide/vb a/at different/jj sort/nn of/in experience/nn than/cs live/jj music/nn ./.
This/dt difference/nn is/bez made/vbn up/rp of/in many/ap factors/nns ./.

(/( Music/nn often/rb sounds/vbz best/jjt to/in me/ppo when/wrb I/ppss can/md dress/vb informally/rb and/cc sit/vb in/in something/pn more/ql comfortable/jj than/cs a/at theatre/nn seat/nn ./.
)/) From/in the/at technical/jj standpoint/nn ,/, records/nns differ/vb from/in live/jj music/nn to/in the/at degree/nn that/cs they/ppss fail/vb to/to convey/vb the/at true/jj color/nn ,/, texture/nn ,/, complexity/nn ,/, range/nn ,/, intensity/nn ,/, pulse/nn ,/, and/cc pitch/nn of/in the/at original/jj ./.
Any/dti alteration/nn of/in one/cd of/in these/dts factors/nns is/bez distortion/nn ,/, although/cs we/ppss generally/rb use/vb that/dt word/nn only/rb for/in effects/nns so/ql pronounced/vbn that/cs they/ppss can/md be/be stated/vbn quantitatively/rb on/in the/at basis/nn of/in standard/jj tests/nns ./.

	Command's/np$ new/jj Brahms/np Second/nn-tl is/bez a/at major/jj effort/nn to/to make/vb a/at record/nn that/wps sounds/vbz like/cs a/at real/jj orchestra/nn rather/in than/in a/at copy/nn of/in one/cd ./.
Like/cs the/at recent/jj Scheherazade/np-tl from/in London/np (/( High/jj-tl Fidelity/nn-tl ,/, Sept./np 1961/cd )/) ,/, it/pps is/bez successful/jj because/cs emphasis/nn has/hvz been/ben placed/vbn on/in good/jj musical/jj and/cc engineering/vbg practices/nns rather/in than/in on/in creating/vbg sensational/jj effects/nns ./.

A/at contributing/vbg factor/nn is/bez the/at perspective/nn ,/, the/at uniform/nn aesthetic/jj distance/nn which/wdt is/bez maintained/vbn ./.
The/at orchestra/nn is/bez far/rb enough/qlp away/rb from/in you/ppo that/cs you/ppss miss/vb the/at bow/nn scrapes/vbz ,/, valve/nn clicks/nns ,/, and/cc other/ap noises/nns incidental/jj to/in playing/vbg ./.
Yet/cc you/ppss feel/vb the/at orchestra/nn is/bez near/rb at/in hand/nn ,/, and/cc the/at individual/jj instruments/nns have/hv the/at same/ap firm/jj presence/nn associated/vbn with/in listening/vbg from/in a/at good/jj seat/nn in/in an/at acoustically/rb perfect/jj hall/nn ./.

The/at timbre/nn remains/vbz that/dt of/in the/at instruments/nns unclouded/jj by/in resonance/nn ./.


	All/abn of/in this/dt would/md be/be wasted/vbn ,/, of/in course/nn ,/, if/cs the/at performance/nn lacked/vbd authority/nn and/cc musical/jj distinction/nn ./.
For/in me/ppo it/pps has/hvz more/ap of/in both/abx elements/nns than/cs the/at majority/nn of/in its/pp$ competitors/nns ./.
Steinberg/np seems/vbz to/to have/hv gone/vbn directly/ql back/rb to/in the/at score/nn ,/, discounting/vbg tradition/nn ,/, and/cc has/hvz built/vbn his/pp$ performance/nn on/in the/at intention/nn to/to reproduce/vb as/ql faithfully/rb as/cs possible/jj exactly/rb what/wdt Brahms/np set/vbd down/rp on/in paper/nn ./.

Without/in losing/vbg the/at distinctive/jj undertow/nn of/in Brahmsian/jj rhythm/nn ,/, the/at pacing/nn is/bez firm/jj and/cc the/at over-all/jj performance/nn has/hvz a/at tightly/ql knit/vbn quality/nn that/wps makes/vbz for/in maximum/jj cumulative/jj effect/nn ./.
The/at Presto/fw-jj-tl Ma/fw-cc-tl non/fw-*-tl assai/fw-rb-tl of/in the/at first/od trio/nn of/in the/at scherzo/nn is/bez taken/vbn literally/rb and/cc may/md shock/vb you/ppo ,/, as/cs the/at real/jj Allegro/fw-jj-tl con/fw-in-tl Spirito/fw-nn-tl of/in the/at finale/nn is/bez likely/jj to/to bring/vb you/ppo to/in your/pp$ feet/nns ./.
In/in the/at end/nn ,/, however/rb ,/, the/at thing/nn about/in this/dt performance/nn that/wps is/bez most/ql striking/jj is/bez the/at way/nn it/pps sings/vbz ./.
Steinberg/np obviously/rb has/hvz concluded/vbn that/cs it/pps is/bez the/at lyric/jj element/nn which/wdt must/md dominate/vb in/in this/dt score/nn ,/, and/cc he/pps manages/vbz at/in times/nns to/to create/vb the/at effect/nn of/in the/at whole/jj orchestra/nn bursting/vbg into/in song/nn ./.


	The/at engineering/nn provides/vbz exactly/rb the/at support/nn needed/vbn for/in such/abl a/at result/nn ./.
Too/ql many/ap records/nns seem/vb to/to reduce/vb a/at work/nn of/in symphonic/jj complexity/nn to/in a/at melody/nn and/cc its/pp$ accompaniment/nn ./.
The/at Command/nn-tl technique/nn invites/vbz you/ppo to/to listen/vb to/in the/at depth/nn of/in the/at orchestration/nn ./.

It/pps is/bez this/dt sort/nn of/in experience/nn that/wps makes/vbz the/at concept/nn of/in high/jj fidelity/nn of/in real/jj musical/jj significance/nn for/in the/at home/nr music/nn listener/nn ./.
The/at first/od substantially/ql complete/jj stereo/nn Giselle/np-tl (/( and/cc the/at only/ap one/cd of/in its/pp$ scope/nn since/in Feyer's/np$ four-sided/jj LP/nn edition/nn of/in 1958/cd for/in Angel/nn-tl )/) ,/, this/dt set/nn is/bez ,/, I'm/ppss+bem afraid/jj ,/, likely/jj to/to provide/vb more/ql horrid/jj fascination/nn than/cs enjoyment/nn ./.
