I except Dan Leeson's remarks about Kell's rubato.

But even that needs to be more specific, as Dan and I have discussed
previously; see:

http://test.woodwind.org/Databases/Klarinet/2001/02/001055.txt

Playing rubato 'just in general' does nothing. Mozart said (letter to
Leopold Mozart, 24 October 1777) that "..in tempo rubato in an Adagio, the
left hand should go on playing in strict time." But this says nothing about
what Mozart used his rubato FOR. Kell's sort of rubato isn't in an Adagio,
and for my money mostly has precisely the effects you DON'T want.
