…and had to play it all like young horowitz quadruples impressiveness.
It may have been on the sloppy side by 21st century idiotic robot standards but def expressive and human as fuck
The 88s during the Golden age had a softer, more responsive action, right? Is it possible that the finger slips were, in part, a result of that. A soft action gives you the ability to play with more subtlety, but you are also more prone to hit neighboring notes, no?

lol one of my fav cinime verite moments snippets of all time was the Scriabin daughter starting to lose her shit and as the camera subtlety pans back to Horowitz it catch the Wanda smile shrewdly. It capture the Wanda ethos perfectly.

what the fruck kind of stimulants was this ninja on?
