This is followed by a question and answer game in which he highlighted the complicity shown between the members of the Berlin Philharmonic Quintet and especially between Coelho and Tamarit.

"... the day before yesterday he exhibited here a great artistic level. Tamarit took advantage of the opportunity offered by this score and made an impact again creating phrases well-endowed with breath, as she did in the "larghetto", and playing with great finesse in the first and last movements, the "allegro con variazioni", where the ensemble al plenary joined the soloist in a display of virtuosity and wit.
