At the very least, just comparing the two Yakumo was incredibly stiff vs the animated and engaging Sukeruoku, and it was hard to distinguish his characters from each other. There were probably a ton of nuances there that I totally missed though, so having the music cue was pretty helpful. I thought his mannerisms were well done as well, his discomfort was very clear and it was a neat comparison to his performance in the first episode and how he owned the stage.

This is very true. I laughed out loud at Sukeroku's, but Yakumo's was only funny to me because I could read the jokes in the subtitles and they were still amusing, even if the delivery was stiff and a bit boring. It definitely would've been funnier if performed by Suke, or by modern-day Yakumo. I'm no Rakugo expert, but I really like how well they're executing these performances.
