What is the best quality in your opinion?

I think you mean on a compositional level; if that is the case, based on what I have "observed" by looking at the score and listening to the piece several times, it will seem
obvious, and most likely it is: it's the compactness (upon listening), there is a dialogue between the two instruments that runs smoothly; it gives me the sensation
of a sober piece, in which one does not attempt to do too much but, on the contrary, coherently measures the lyrical needs of the solo instrument and
the role of the piano, which anyway is by no means relegated to being a mere accompanist, but is indeed a dialoguer with the soloist (
as a piece of this type should be).
Anyway, you've caught me off guard with Franck, I think you want to get to the bottom of this "matter"

Do you have the score?

I have a video that I posted a few years ago, for oboe and piano (recorded with real instruments), now it can't be found (at least I can't find it at a glance), but I found this one, he publishes
on IMSLP:

The funny thing is that if you only write Daniel Leo on the search engine, this comes up:

I am on my phone (but I was able to read the word "criminal"), I think he "knows" about this "homonymy".

I agree with Piccinesco, sobriety and singability
