To listen to an artist at such an advanced age is a privilege, an inspiration and a humbling experience. Thank you for posting this wonderful video Dr. Stephens!
Agi did not practice at all at the end of her life. She played only when Joe (Joseph Stephens) visited her and prompted her to play for him, or with him, on a regular daily basis. Nevertheless her musical inteligence was intact, and in spite of all the mistakes, her voicing and phrasing ideas come clearly through. She would say 'I may not practice anymore, but believe me in my youth I used to practice 8-10 hours a day. I worked very hard '.
