  • Great Horowitz

  • Back in 1965 I recall liking that dissonant 'mistake' too. There was something poignant about it. The rest is history, awesome in every respect.

  • Frankly, I like the stark dissonance of the opening 'mistake'.

  • That famous terrifying moment at the start...he must have felt like crap, mucking up the first bar after a 12 year retirement! Well the rest was perfect, so it's alright!
