Wow that black guy riffing with horowitz (and it looking playing the same things one right after the other) could absolutely be Art Tatum who was 20 at the time and working in the local area... To dream....
it s always interesting to se how a pianist sits or hold his arms at keyboard .This s so informal so maybe not informative but still worthwhie & nice to have posted here.Thanks!
Mine was a spontaneous gesture of long held irritation, that the most fabulous pianist of the 20th century, or ever, was filmed as a silent movie star. There's just somthing so perverse in that, beyond measure.
In my opinion it is a fucking more interesting question than for exampel "How does fucking spiders behave when on fucking drugs". But there are always fucking different opinions about what is fucking interesting in this world, don't you think?
This is truly remarkable footage. Thank you very much for posting it, and also for posting the background information. I'll be looking forward to your other postings with enormous interest.
Wow! Great video. BTW, that's Fritz Reiner chatting with Horowitz after the "one year later" title card! Reiner was Music Director of the Cincinnati Symphony at that time.
Horowitz's American debut was at Carnegie Hall in 1928. He then went to Cincinnati. Ohio and played at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music with the Cincinnati Symphony. After the concert he was at a party at the home of Dr. Karol Liszniewkski--my late father's music teacher. This movie was shot in 1928, and then in 1929. This video, and many others I will soon post, show the era of classical piano. Rate, share & enjoy! See the recent Reflections in the Water video as well. Best regards, David
wow, this video is like a time travel...unbelievable to see Horowitz at this time!
Thanks very much for posting this treasure! :-)

Beautiful film.
It captures the ambiance of an era.
It is like looking through a window - a time capsule.

It doesn't look as if Horowitz was really playing anything. Probably musical bantering to impress the ladies.

He is using glasses?! But never in later years I think. How bad was his eyesight? Did he use lenses as an older man? Does anyone know?

Wow! Does anyone know what he's playing? It's great to see his technique when it was at its perfection.
Also, for the others, the reason it probably doesn't have sound is because most home 'camcorders' didn't have sound back then.
