I have to say that that's no great loss. I don't own the book, but was once
shown it 'as a joke' by a professional colleague.

I can't think of a more redundant and misleading idea than to write a
description of how this or that player plays K622 on a recording. If you're
interested, the actual information is available on the corresponding disc, and
doesn't need filtering through the medium of the author's ears plus the
deficiencies of the written word. The enterprise also places the particular
performer far too centre-stage.

In case you were wondering, I would think this even if my own recording were
included in the book. (Indeed, I would resist its being included if that were
suggested, and I had any say in the matter.)

That's a pity.
