“The story goes that when Barere was ready to record the Schumann, he was asked by Victor what he would use as a filler on the 2nd side. After all, the fabulous technician Josef Lhevinne had made a Victor recording of the Toccata in 1928, and did not get it on one side of the 78-rpm disc. Barere laughed. He said that he could easily get it on one side, and he did.” :bar:

—from Horowitz, His Life and Music, by Harold C. Schonberg.
