Susan Tomes - 2001

from A Puzzling Schubert Quintet, page 162:

You can overlook physical mannerisms. you can ignore technical shortcomings, if you feel that the player is the composer's interpreter. But if this feeling is absent, you might feel that the performance is about something else entirely...
