In the mid seventies I had the opportunity to listen to José Iturbi in Guanajuato, Mexico. I was a child and he made a deep impression on me. Thanks for this clip!

Iturbi, having been a great pianist. He played the score of a Song to Remember.
One could wish he left off playing the harpsichord while he was still ahead.
There are some things in the past that are best forgotten.

I have a little girl piano pupil who curls up her fingers like this.
It makes me stressed to see such muscular tension for nothing.
However, José is plaing brilliantly. Maybe I should stopasking the little girn not to do that....

You can even make a fist without muscular tension, so the form of the fingers has nothing to do with tension.

it takes no muscular tension to curl one's fingers like that

i believe this instrument is one made by the firm Pleyel. Wanda Landowska used such an instrument, as did Sylvia Marlowe.

Ageed it looks and sounds like an early Pleyel.

Iturbi makes it look so easy, but I am not fooled. M. Rameau was a genius, and Iturbi is a true artist. Art can hardly be more expressive than this.
