WOW! Thanks for posting.
Wow Indeed!
Do we still have a classical music ping list?
Thank you for posting.
Rachmaninoff is insanely difficult to play.
“Slenczynska was made to practise all 24 Études before breakfast every morning by her father”
According to Google AI this would take about 20-30 minutes.
My mom, who (would be) 105, saw and heard Rachmaninov at the American Conservatory in Chicago, c. 1937, when she was a violin/viola student there. Every time she made mention of him, she commented on his hands, his long fingers, and of course the thrill of hearing him play and speak.
Mom passed 8 years ago at age 97. Everywhere she went, there was music in the room.
Very much appreciate your posting this. The video embedded was wonderful.
Here she is playing age five:

Youtube has a lot of clips of her playing and “My Life in Music”. What a wonderful lady! Thanks for bringing her to our attention.
Thank you so much!
Thanks doe including me.
