Even though all member of the trio intently they studied the score as they
played, I couldn't help but notice small issues with their choice of
phrasing (why chop up those long line into smaller phrases?). Too much
showmanship and not enough value on the big picture. Their intonation was
spot on, but the timing not so good. And was it just me, or did they
totally flub the ending (perhaps nerves, maybe not enough rehearsing)? I
suppose I'm being too hard on these chaps, it's just that been spoiled
lately by listening to the 'Variations on a squeeky wheel" piece that was
supposedly based on some actual sounds from Mozart's carriage (and the
carriage was less than 5 years old at the time!).
