Arrau's Beethoven Op.109 remains my absolute favorite of the piece among the 8 different cycles i own.. Before hearing his rendition it was already perhaps my fav Beethoven sonanta, and I thought I knew that piece well. Upon hearing his version I experienced the piece with so much more than ever before..He gave Op.109(espeically the 3rd mvt) a deeply spiritual touch. Arrau's dedication to music is incredibly moving. I have so much respect for him as a musician and an extremely refined human being. 😍😍

They are rare. It’s called a Virgil Practice Clavier. They were made in the late 1800s. They don’t make any sound so i wouldn’t call it a keyboard. It’s strictly made for keeping your fingers in shape for playing the real thing. The key weight/action can be increased or decreased for training purposes.

I know this is a nasty thought but I can't help wondering how a meeting between Richter, Michelangeli, Glenn Gould, Pogorelich, Brendel, Sokolov, Argerich and Horowitz would have turned out. Arrau wouldn't have come, by the way. Glenn Gould could have fantasized the outcome beforehand, and wouldn't have come either. Maybe this díd happen and nobody came, exept for Horowitz (just for the fun of it, or because they're all guys).
