Rich Without Reediness. Harold played Vivaldi's Concerto in D Minor; Ralph played Handel's Concerto in G Minor. To a casual listener endowed with the gift of being in two places at once it would have been impossible to distinguish between the brothers' styles (the Gombergs themselves sometimes cannot tell which one is playing a certain passage on an unidentified recording).
