  • People may call me whatever they would like too. Everything is interpretation.

  • @SrSabao roflmao

  • Richter explains, in the french documentary about his career, why he used sheet music in his performances. Apparently he lost his perfect pitch later in his life, this made him unsure and so he did not trust doing pieces from memory.

  • @BlazeKenny Usually its not Only sight reading! :) But yes, there are great skill in using the sheets like that... Mostly its used as a reminder of where he is and what comes next - But of course, he Might be sight reading it, but personally I think he spent some time on the piece before the performance! :) Either way, I love it!

  • @espejosgigantes Where do you get the weed, dude? Not trying to compare Richter with Horowitz here, but clearly your statement that Horowitz was famous just because of Rachmaninoff is pure bullshit. Again, could you share the source of your grass with me?

  • @espejosgigantes

    to each his own, but they didn't all Horowitz one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century for nothing

  • @SrSabao

    yeah maybe

  • @beeteep60 maybe because he was 77 years old by the time of this recording. maybe he had memory issues

  • He's am ok but why does he have to play with the score?. I think Horowitz is much better. But then Horowitz said that he liked Richter so.......

  • i love how he just sight reads it (or how is it called)
