Arrau discusses Berlin

These are the Arrau scenes from the documentary Memories of Berlin (1976). Arrau visits the site of the Stern Conservatory where he used to teach, and discusses other musicians of the early 20th century. There's also some video of him playing part of Schumann's ABEGG variations.

[@tomaxi007]

Er ist nun unter den Göttern der Pianisten ( Liszt, Chopin, Paderewski, Kalkbrenner, Alkan, Busoni, D’Albert, Anton und Artur Rubinstein etc…), und kann sich dort wirklich sehen lassen!
