08:24 Czerny op.740 Beautiful playing!

[@brandonmacey964]

Amazing agreed

[@John-se5vc]

Splitting my sides! I'm thankful that Mr. Lewenthal devoted himself to lesser trod paths not only in difficult repertoire, but to music that would have been totally bypassed had it not been for his insatiable curiosity. This not only a study of the literature, but also of society. One believes that if such practices had been widely indulged, the world might be in a different place in 2023.

[@brandonmacey964]

The world might be a different place, but better? Who can say? Still, his playing is marvelous and what a joy to hear lesser works in the hands of a master

[@John-se5vc]

"Lesser works in the hands of a master........." sounds like the career of Horowitz. A large percentage of his hair-raising stunts were musically "second rate". Whatever. We are thankful for the gems they revealed to us.@@brandonmacey964

Fantastic program. I'm much indebted to you for all these wonderful archival radio programs.

[@pianomaly9859]

One of my all time favorite pianists. What a delight. I was fortunate enough to have talked with him on the phone a few times and receive a few short letters from him. I'd go to a recital of his even if he was playing Schumann's Merry Peasant and a Clementi Sonatina.

Interesting conversation.

[@tuberobotto]

Having listened to a lot of episodes of this wonderful radio program, I am quite taken by the intro/extro music which to my consternation, I couldn't seem to pinpoint the composer and the work itself though it truly does sound familiar. Is it by Bach, Handel or one of the many Italian Baroque Masters? Could someone please help me and tell me? Thank you so much to anyone who can, that includes you Mr Noochinator. Thank you for these priceless uploads.

Music doesn't have the pourpose to create bounds, musica is concerned with individualism and private emotions.
