@ireneobien1954 It was actually Mike Wallace, he described it vividly in his book "Between you and Me", the book comes with aDVD that shows the interview with him and his wife.

@ireneobien1954 Horowitz must have temporarily forgotten that he played Stars and Stripes Forever for a concert that I attended at the Civic Auditorium in Denver, Colorado in 1951 while I was attending the University of Colorado in Boulder. It was my first introduction to Horowitz and I have been a fan (and amature pianist) ever since.

Maestro Horowitz had an interview with Morley Safer on 60 Minutes years ago. I believe it was in the early 70's. Near the end of the interview, Morley asked him to play Stars and Stripes. The last time he played it was on VJ Day 1945 and he was able to play it error-free 30 years later. Such a genius! For DynastyEmpire, Maestro Horowitz had a "finger span" of 12 inches (from little finger when fully spread to his thumb).

Does anybody have a later recording of Horowitz playing this piece I heard a bit more Up Tempo, Magnificant!
Yo, this was written by a good american composer, and interprerted and played by the greatest russian pianist that ever lived. The result, an amazing piece which transcends nationality, and politics. So for at least 3 minutes and 50 seconds, forget the politics and just enjoy the music.

lol its so funny the way people start getting so serious about things that don't concern them, and won't even effect their lives, as well as starting to talk about stuff that has nothing to with the music
