>>Fernando,
I am very familiar with Sabine Meyer's recording. She adds a fill in the
pause in the allegro and plays an original "cadenza" in the adagio mov't.
None of this sounds spontaneous, but it's only my opinion. Stoltzman
goes much further and does sound sponateous in my opinion. Using
Dan's interpretation of classic improvisation, I would say Stoltzman
improvised. Am I on the right track here Dan?
