9:54 It might be worth noting that Mozart used the exact same chord at the opening of his Violin Sonata, K. 379, and instructed the pianist to roll it!

Exactly and if you go to the original manuscript sources the direct translation is "Roll it up homie"

[@truBador2]

Great speech at the end.

[@bifeldman]

I don’t quite understand why Mr. Levin needs to criticize Pogorelić by name to make his broader point.

[@lynnraley7731]

Because he’s one of the most visible and notorious examples!

[@noshirm6285]

@@lynnraley7731 Agreed. This was true of him even before his playing degenerated further as he aged.

[@miloseveggies8064]

On one hand you have pedants who criticize Rachmaninoff for not following indications in his own scores. On the other, you have Gavrilov who, especially recently, plays with such liberties you'd think he has rabies. Levin wisely finds a middle ground.

[@rudolfpianos]

It was not a criticism, it was just a special mention!

[@2001spaceoddessy]

A bizarre choice of examples with his tangent near the end, but otherwise very interesting.
