Yeahhh. I've played piano for almost 60 years, plus other instruments, and I've always wished I could get just one hand, one finger, even a tip of fingernail into the musical world and mindset of where people like Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum lived. But, it's just not there for me. I can listen and appreciate it all. I know the theory, I have the skill, but there's another level to musical talent that I just don't have. Yes, yes, long ago I bought Peterson's books and practiced, especially his exercises on hand independence. Those surely helped my playing. But I hear these stories and read about the legendary feats of Liszt and Mozart, and I just don't have what is, apparently, another talent. There's a talent for playing and there's another talent for doing these legendary things, that I just don't have. I can't even imagine how it would be to listen to music like Mozart did, and Peterson obviously does. How do you listen to a choral performance in five-part harmony, then go home and write the whole thing out, note for note from memory, perfectly, with no mistakes? It doesn't seem possible. But, it sure is fantastic to listen to someone with that talent.

What an amazingly insightful, and brave comment. I started out playing in 7th grade, played about 4 years, then went to guitar. Then when I heard McLaughlin I said, well, that's enough of that. Even though I quit playing, it left a mark on me that'll last forever. No regrets.

Previn spent a few years as the director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. I'm so proud. Folks in the 'burgh had NO idea of the level of talent of this man, and how lucky we were to have him...hell, I'd only known about him because I was studying voice at the time and my voice teacher almost wet his pants when he heard that Previn was going to be coming to Pgh. and etc etc...

Art really was a major influence on Oscar. I guess OP feared, admired, and perhaps even envied him altogether. On hearing Art's music being played on a Disklavier Grand he would respond in several ways. He'd laugh at Tatum's humorous (but devilishly virtuostic) "I Know That You Know". He was stunned at "Tiger Rag". He'd shed tears upon hearing "Someone to Watch Over Me". Art also once said, "This is my time now. You are next." It's noteworthy to realize how two greats can influence each other.

What do you mean you don't need to see to play piano? First off, that's not true for every blind person or anyone with near-total loss of vision. Second, this is Tatum we're talking about. Playing at his level isn't a walk in the park for anybody regardless of visual function.

@bazzatt1 Sorry, bazzat, okay, maybe he can't play it classical style right on the spot (he would probably have to do a little practice first), but hey? Next thing we know, he's doing all those fuck-fast runs, dissonant jazz chords, stride etc. in an insanely faster tempo and make you think as if there were three pianists playing. Understand that Tatum defeated a dozen of the greatest jazz pianists who ever lived in cutting contests, and garnered praise from even Rubinstein or Rachmaninoff.

Fastest gun in the West. Fastest pianist in the world. Play yourself. Copying Tatum or memorizing classical music is not where it's at. That is not creativity. Make your own music. That is where you get respect. I agree totally with these guys. They have got good ears and memories. You can hear the Tatum influence in Oscar's playing but he is not a clone.

Felix Scott playing classical music is not creativity or art? How do you think Tatum and Peterson learn all that music and that sound? Classical music and jazz are not in war, they complete each other and all that great pianist knows it and jazz pianist respect classical pianist and vice versa... So comparing Peterson and Rubinstein is pure stupidity. I heard Peterson played classical music and he was not really good at it... Yuja Wang playing tea for two Tatum version is not so good too becaise its missing that swing thing. Thats differents music, different creativity, DIFFERENCE... No competition. Its two differents languages. Its like sayong that Japanese is a real language where you can compose sentence and english is not! Its absurde!! I know its hard to imagine but music is not competition!!!
