  • @Shirianu I've shaken his hand! It was excellent.

  • Amazing!

  • Yes, funeral march 10:47-- so solemn, mournful, yet also graceful, dignified, and peaceful, all at the same time.

  • Interesting to read the caption that this video "is a response" to Horowitz. If true, with this dramatic performance young Anton must have caught Horowitz's attention and the latter phoned him for a brief dialogue. Bravo.

  • I want to shake this man's hand.

  • Wonderfully sensitive performance - quite a while ago but entirely entertaining. It was well recorded too.

  • quintessential funeral march

  • I'm glad that he didn't pound the keys when he repeated the funeral march's first melodie. A lot of pianists seem to be trying to murder the piano at that part, but Anton is calm.

  • Funeral march, i love that.

  • Great!
