For the record: Marc-André Hamelin is alive, performing and composing.

I love this clip of Horowitz, full of beautful long lines and played with a dose of humor too!

[paulprocopolis]

Fascinating!

[gerardbedecarter]

Beautiful. 

[srothbardt]

This reminds me of Ignaz Friedman or Leopold Godowsky. I think Horowitz was showing students how the older pianists used to improvise, etc. He was the last of the old type of virtuoso who also composed, or "adapted" the work of others, such as in Horowitz's versions of certain Liszt pieces.
