RE: The teenage Schnabel heard Brahms play live...

Yes - good points. In Earl Wild's memoirs, he mentions that he worked with a professor who had heard Brahms play, and the verdict was that when Brahms played chamber music, not only did he play a lot of wrong notes, but he would often play so loudly that he drowned out the other instruments!
I can't resist pointing out that Michelangeli and Gilels had quite a bit more finish to their playing than Schnabel did, even though Gilels was a bit wild himself in his youthful playing.
