“Prokofiev asked me if I would agree to play his 5th concerto. ‘This work has no success. Maybe it would if you played it?’ He was joking of course. Two months later I performed it. This was a memorable occasion! The concerto did have success with the audience. Prokofiev was astonished and said to me, 'I know why: they expect you to do a Chopin nocturne as an encore!”
HAHAHA PURE GESNUI!!!
