  • Yeah, Wanda was wild... no wonder Horowitz had a separate private life.

  • yep she was a monster! Barber couldn't think of a theme for the last movement, the rest of the sonata was done, Horowitz had to give the premiere in a short while. Wanda said angrily to Barber:" you are a constipated composer" this annoyed him, and sterted improvizing in an angry way at the piano and came up with this fugue! So I read in "Evenings with Horowitz" by Dubal

  • Oh, please explain! I heard her described as a "monster" by someone who knew her well.

  • A fugue which may have never been written if it was not for Wanda Toscanini Horowitz and her temper.
