"anyone more expert than me care to comment on Katarina's left hand finger positions??"

If she came to me as an amateur with that left hand position I might (might) offer some suggestions on rounding off the ring finger and pinky because I believe rounded fingers work best in unison with other rounded fingers...to wit: C#4 and G#5 played to D4 and A5 respectfully cleanly. My grounds...my justification would be that such things might come to haunt her in the future as she took on my complex pieces.

But Katarina, like Drucker, whose fingers are not only less than textbook perfect, but IMO some of the most accurate the world has known, is already at the complex level of play at which "if it ain't broke don't fix it," I think would apply.

One of the things I listen for when hearing this piece is if the transition right before letter "C" in Spohr, from G#5 to A is clean, which for her is without question the case:
