from Journeying boy : the diaries of the young Benjamin Britten 1928-1938, page 139:
Listen to Schnabel playing Brahms Bb,* in London Musical festival after dinner. Wireless v. bad unable to judge much. Technique seemed excellent & the idea of the work as a whole But many details annoyed & irritated me.
