“heavily gay”
ic
the bit about da shrapnel sumwut cg
My fave part is Sorabji identify the best pianist of his generation after Ho as a guy who ended up playing night clubs and doing Lib style arrangements.
Very randomly I can’t find any of his playing anywhere in any genre.
ahaha the idea of night club ZNORABJI
tbf my teacher only survived in Paris by playing in jazz clubs
Second listen I like it more!
Heavily gay
Lmao
Btw as far as I know, Horowitz played 12 selected vars of the Brahms Pagaga
Lol imagine hearing the prime Horowitz Liszt Sonata and feeling it’s not “grand manner” enough
Come on man
Especially when you the king of rambling misuse of forms.
Oh come on
I liked it
