Query to the German speakers on this list: does "geschliffen" make
sense in this context, and if not, what other reading might you
suggest?
That is correct, but very old-fashioned. A lot of people (like Jörg)
wouldn't even know the meaning of it today, though it was standard in
the 19th century.
I knew Johannes would come through on this one! Viel danke to him and
all others who responded.
FWIW: Anthony Philip Heinrich (1781-1861), born in Bohemia, came to the
US in 1811 and only then became a professional musician. Largely cut
off from European developments from then on, he does indeed retain many
old-fashioned musical terms and usages within the context of a highly
imaginative and radically romantic idiom. Geschliffen it is.
