Rubinstein
Horowitz
So, dolly, I'm looking through some pictures and I find that these great men (the best Chopin players) both, in their old age, had humour and life. It's not really surprising when one sees them play, but, oh really, what chutzpah!
They faired much better than Bachmann, Nabokov's piano playing Luzhin, whose story I shall read to you.
