They shine with different qualities, but the sum is equal in both, so that one can’t explain one’s preference. Mlle Krolikowska was applauded in a piece from Lucia [Lucia di Lammermoor] (the eternal Lucia!) and above all in the infernal waltz from Robert [Robert le Diable] arranged by Listz [sic], a piece beset with difficulties which the pianist executed to her honor.
