Horowitz plays Schumann Fantasie in C Major {3/4}

[olivleonardo]

God, how beautiful this third movement...

[chobeethaninov]

Classic vintage Horowitz playing wonderfully (as usual)! It's always been one of my big goals to learn this piece!

[LinguistTroubadour]

I don't know if it's 'on' his head

[billjhyt]

I knew he was a bit of a prankster, but that is hilarious. What a well-balanced individual he was. This only serves to give further evidence to me that this is true.

[kasyapa]

that crazy maestro!

[ByrneBelew]

Is that an ashtray on his head?!

[demosj]

At first I thought it was a bird's nest. I'm not sure what it is. :/

[demosj]

A crown?

[ByrneBelew]

LOL!! Yep, that's it, mystery solved :0)

Have you seen the new Horowitz stuff in Goodmanmusica's channel yet btw? Well worth a look.

@ByrneBelew a cake = - =

[olivleonardo]

@ByrneBelew Yes, I think it's an ashtray! He was very funny and was certainly making a joke.

@ByrneBelew I dub it the JewTray.... *strap not included*

[bernie10025]

Wow, that's a great picture. Where did you find it?

[GeneralKuno]

I'm going to wait for the third movement. But as far as I know, the third movement is about 10:59 long. Anyway, I have longed to hear this recording again ever since I downloaded it a year ago.

[demosj]

The third movement begins at 7:57.
