Rosental spielt mit dem Tonkünstler Orchester das Potpourri-Kl. Konz. von Tschaikovsky in (Desdur) Bm. 1 Welche Oberfläche, welche kindische Art den Inhalt zu dehnen u. zu Modulieren, ‒ ringsum nur naive, naivste Kunst, wenngleich als Erfindung so manches schön zu nennen wäre. 2

Rosenthal plays the potpourri Piano Concerto in Bę minor (Dę major) by Tschaikovsky with the Tonkünstler Orchestra. 1 What superficiality, what a childish way of stretching out the content and of modulating ‒ everywhere only naive, utterly naive art, although in terms of invention there is so much that could be called beautiful. 2
