To judge from his comments about the radio performance he had heard, he was already turning in his grave, pre-humously as it were, about the way other people were playing the tune. But I was very struck by the strong similarities between the version he plays on this recording and a well known tune, The New Copperplate. He spoke about forgetting tunes he composed and I have to wonder whether he was getting confused about this one! It also made me chuckle when he evoked "Beet-hoven" and Schubert as if his compositions deserved the same reverence as their works. A character, clearly.
