This is one of my all-time Piano Pieces!

I think this young lady does a nice job, although she is a bit histrionic at times...but hey...it's Rachmaninoff!

My mother saw Rachmaninov play in Philadelphia in 1936. She said he had the biggest hands she’d ever seen on a man.

I’m a U.S. Male...I’d stamp her....I’d ZIP her, unzip her...

Had something else I wanted to say but, lightning doesn’t taste good.

Yes. They were of monumental size, which is how he could do the things he did at the piano.

His demeanor at the piano was very businesslike. He did not hot-dog at the piano. He would occasionally glance at Eugene Ormandy on the podium to make sure they understood each other, but he let his fingers do the talking.

Olga Kern. She couldn’t even afford a gown for the competition so a benefactor bought one for her. I’ve seen her play live in a small venue-very difficult music and she did not play ONE wrong note the entire concert. She’s gorgeous at the piano and so, so strong.

Understated, and CLASSY!

When I am fronting a band, I make little nods to the other band members, and make barely perceptible changes in dynamics...and if they are good, the get it!

It is a very sensitive and organic thing.
