Chopin: Introduction and Rondo, Op. 16 [Horowitz 1976]

[@carrotvevo]

I always loved horowitz playing this piece, it really let his imagination go crazy

[@morganmartinez8420]

He really does! I just love how his sparkling and brilliant technique works for this piece, especially for the triplet runs and grace notes

VH works his magic on a composition some might consider of a salon nature. But the Artistry and nuance of VH fully reveal the genius of Chopin, even in a composition like this. One of my favorite VH performances. Dramatic and playful….fun twists and turns.

Increíble que se pueda llegar a tocar así... 10 minutos de alegría...

Typical Horowitz quirky programme. Thanks for sharing!

This is how to play it!

Scintillating pianism as only Horowitz could produce in his live performance of this rarely heard showpiece. Elements of the composers F minor Concerto can be easily heard in some of the passage work.

Bei aller Achtung vor dem pianistischen Können - -hier wird des Guten zu viel getan...

Ich bin mit ihnen einverstanden. Dies ist auf jeden fall nicht lines von Chopins besten werken, und in den 1970er jahren konnte Horowitz’ spiel manchmal als lächerlich, sogar hurenhaft rüberkommen. Das spiel klingt … übertrieben.
