Subj: K.622 improv recordings

I heard a broadcast of Franklin Cohen play K.622 a few years ago that had
more improvisation then I had ever heard. It was from a live broadcast.
My, what a contrast to Marcellus's recording w/cleveland.

Subject: Recordings K622

I have heard at least a dozen or more recordings of K622 and except for a
fill in
at one pause in the first movement and a cadenza in the Adagio movement
I haven't noticed any improvisation in any of these performances. The most
ornamented performance of can recall is Stoltzman's and I don't consider his
approach improvisation. Could someone please suggest a recording of this
work that would exemplify improvisation as it was done during the classical
period. I think we need some concrete examples of what we're talking about.
