You are out of your mind.

lol he's just having a joke and you're calling it voicing and 'phenomenal' reminds me of a rubinstein interview where he tells about him playing chopin etude op 25 no 11 completely wrong in the right hand and very strong and full of pathos in the left hand, and at the end of the piece people where going crazy shouting 'genius!' and 'bravos' all over the place... I assume you're being sarcastic..

@@michaelboggio2450, the joke's on you, Michael.

@@michaelboggio2450 joke or not, its good

@@mustysheep3977 Maybe that’s why they call it a scherzo!

@@michaelboggio2450it’s a scherzo

If you actually believe that, you are nuts.

The imperfection is the magic! Too many little machines in our concert halls these days...

His piano was quite light, regulated to be quick, and tuned to standard pitch, but it's not magic. Franz Mohr was a gifted tech, and he maintained Horowitz's piano as he would many others. The great performances are great despite the "imperfections."

In this recording it's not, and I suspect that it changed somewhere along the way in production. Franz was there during that session, and the piano would have been at pitch. Raising the pitch as much as it appears here would be abusive to the structure of the instrument. All that said, I love what he does to this fun piece, and have tried to emulate some of his ideas when performing it.

True. There is no perfection in music. That makes it beautifull.

It makes feel the music more human, not like a robot machine playing the notes like it was a pianola piano or a Midi file

He couldn’t stand Arrau, apparently

Steven Banks Arrau couldn’t stand the old Horowitz, but he admired the young Horowitz highly.

rofl!

@@ulfwernernielsen6708 wow

I don't think so tbh...he always does that

You’re a full step sharp

it's the KZfaq codex, happens all the time.

I know! It's soooo out of tune. Like, very

It’s not the piano, it’s the way they’re recording it. Back then they didn’t have as good of technology as we have today, so the recording got out of tune one semitone along the way

Horowitz own piano would never be out of tune. This is way out of B minor, so it's the recording, not the piano

You really think someone who is as picky as Horowitz would play a piano this out of tune lol. He specifically had Franz tune the higher range slightly sharp but nothing like this haha

Because it’s from a film “the last romantic” and the pitch is different in films

It's the recording, it's got a slight pitch raise

In C minor 🤣

C minor😂

I guess, but I think the film crew did a great job at balancing everything a future audience would want to see

I think it’s the recording.

mysteries we’ll never find out

@Franz Schubert Oh hi Shubert

Because it’s from the film “the last romantic” and the film is pitched up

Yea it was just the audio haha

호로비츠 연주들 대부분이 그래요

Monuumax Music I hadn’t heard it, I’ve just listened to it now. It is a very good interpretation I think, he chided a very good tempo and articulation and dynamics are all very lovely. I would still take Horowitz’ first though, but thank you for telling me about Weissenburg’s recording.

@@Ali.Shlaibeq When young Murray Perahia played for Horowitz he played Bach. When he finished playing Horowitz asked him why he didn't use the sustaining pedal. Perahia said he didn't think it was appropriate for Bach. Horowitz told him "the piano has pedals, you have to use them". Horowitz didn't use minimal pedal but was very skilled at pedal changes and using the pedal at different depths. This is part of what made that wonderful unique Horowitz sound.

In Chopins time the Pedal was used much much less than today. I think Horowitz matches very well the "scherzo" character by this.

@Massi True! And even in Chopins time the pedal was still rather new and just for certain effects. The standard was still non-pedal-playing.

It's the recording. It has a 4% pitch increase.
