Taper Notes:

View NotesTwo other audiences sources also circulate and I had the chance to get familiar with them as I prepared this. Both of them are well recorded and all three are of comparable quality. I noticed that each one has better sounding moments along with less good moments as well. It was clear that no single source is of definitively superior quality throughout. However, shnid 10533 runs fast compared to shnid 23897 and this one, which are  about the same, leading me to believe it's the one most likely in need of pitch correction.
