CAPSULE SUMMARY: This CD uses Adam Skoumal's little known recording of the Allegro and Paganini Etudes on the Studio Matous label.  No tempo manipulation is involved, but the timings are altered in a few tracks by either shortening pauses (track 23), adding on a bizarre extra note to the end of the piece (track 24), or by truncating the final note (track 25).  The other works on Skoumal's CD (Carnaval and Toccata) are used on Hatto's Schumann Volume 6.  The Davidsbündlertänze remains unidentified.

Track 1: Allegro in B Minor, Op. 8	Adam Skoumal (9 minutes 23 seconds)

UNIDENTIFIED
Track 20: Etude de Concert d'après Paganini, Op. 10 No. 1	Adam Skoumal (3 minutes 52 seconds)
Skoumal does not repeat the opening 23 bars, but Hatto does through digital editing. I have digitally added the repeat to the Skoumal recording as Hatto does to show the match.	Joyce Hatto (3 minutes 52 seconds)
Track 21: Etude de Concert d'après Paganini, Op. 10 No. 2	Adam Skoumal (5 minutes 20 seconds)
	Joyce Hatto (5 minutes 20 seconds)
Track 22: Etude de Concert d'après Paganini, Op. 10 No. 3	Adam Skoumal (3 minutes 23 seconds)
	Joyce Hatto (3 minutes 23 seconds)
Track 23: Etude de Concert d'après Paganini, Op. 10 No. 4	Adam Skoumal (10 minutes 13 seconds)
The Hatto recording shortens two pauses at the circled areas by a total of three seconds.	Joyce Hatto (10 minutes 10 seconds)
Track 24: Etude de Concert d'après Paganini, Op. 10 No. 5	Adam Skoumal (2 minutes 14 seconds)
The Hatto recording adds a bizarre extra bass note at the end of the performance. This note is not part in the score and accounts for the additional two seconds duration.	Joyce Hatto (2 minutes 16 seconds)
Track 25: Etude de Concert d'après Paganini, Op. 10 No. 6	Adam Skoumal (4 minutes 35 seconds)
The Hatto recording cuts off the final note one second early	Joyce Hatto (4 minutes 34 seconds)
