I realized what an incredible amount of idolization of Horowitz there is in the public....of which I don`t quite agree with. My teacher himself is rather obsessed with the whole generation of romantic pianists. I wonder sometimes if he consider himself one...or aspire to be. Sure Horowitz is gone and marked the legacy of that golden era, but I just wish we have some new directions now adays. A new idol? I don`t know.

I found it so amauzing that Earl Wild called Lang Lang "the JLo. of piano". Mwahaha.

being an interpreter is actually quite a modern myth.a true pianist create most of his work.don`t be mistaken; Horowitz won`t be remembered twenty years from now.as for er VAN HE WILL STILL BE IN centuries..............................................

I think we get your nature now, looking at your funny little posts...
As for Horowitz...Won`t be remembered my ass!

MY funny little posts?

I was talking about NAMUS. (stupid mutter *bleep* *bleep*, don`t know *bleep* about music....grrrrr!)

i`m saying this because he is an interpreter i have heard and SEEN him play he is very,very talented but still...saddly it`s true ,do you remember the guy that played beethoven in 1750,no you remember beethoven and that`s a fact..

Beethoven wasn`t born until 1770.


umm, yeah.

Of course I don`t remember who played Beethoven in 1750 (even though he wasn`t even born). I wasn`t born until 1983.

LMAO!!

it`s a way o speakingnly symbolic DA!!!

OooOOoooOOo, aren`t we witty, Namus.

Horowitz will certainly be remembered...
The reason some pianist of the past isn`t known today is because that was the golden age of composing...
Whereas now there is a shortage of new, fresh music, so attention is directed elsewhere.

a little before he died,i have seen him play ,he was old but still, at the top of his art and what did he play?little mozart!?!? i was stunned,i mean of course he was in no shape to play demanding pieces but still, the sum of his experience lead him there:backward; he could have played this piece at nine yrs old i felt pity for him...this is the true extent interpretation...you learn pieces in order to get better in order to simply understand the piano and do your own stuff.Glenn Gould understood that but he ran out of time.either that or you have chosen the wrong interest to devlop.the fact is many can be agile with their hands since were millions but not everyone can be Beethoven....
