“In searching for tone-quality — after pedaling, the second of the most difficult factors in playing — it is helpful to think of the instruments of the orchestra. Some people say, “A piano is only a piano”. But I do not feel it so. I think forte, and think “orchestra”. I think of many instruments when I play. I do not mean that one should try to imitate, for the timbre of the piano is not the timbre of the violin nor the bassoon nor the flute. But if one thinks of the quality or the sonority of the various instruments, one is helped to play more beautifully.”
(Vladimir Horowitz, The Etude, 1932)

He was trying out a piano, beating the shit out of something, and then he turned to Jack Pfeiffer and uttered that immortal phrase, and the look on Pfeiffer’s face was priceless.
