Some truth, but not really convincing. We all have our regrets but he did well enough to be remembered with love for the pleasure he gave us and the legacy he left. We are still listening Vlad. You might not have been rememered for your compositions, but your lifetime skill and perfection at the keyboard will continue to inspire many.

Is this really him or rocky balboa?

Interesting.

I think the problem in his low self esteem and expectations from himself and the audience regarding his compositions. Horrowitz becamse famous from a very young age because of his piano play, even the great and highly praised composer Rachmaninov admired his skills at the piano. As a perfectionist I can imagine that Horrowitz perfectionism stopped him from making and publishing more compositions (at least known to the public).

I am sorry too, but i cant take this seriously. Horowitz was indeed a legend, he had tremendous technique and his interpretations were brilliant. BUT as far as I know he was not a good composer and improvizer. After some years living in USA, he had more than enough time to compose. He even had a break of 10 years, no time for composing? lol

@Mike1614b Hey Jackal, Horowitz composed too.
Sylvester Stalone does a very good Vladimir Horowitz impression. Or is it the other way around?
