I think this is an incredible testament to his confidence and quick thinking. He spends a few seconds trying to get back on track, realizes it’s a lost cause and immediately goes back to a place where he’s comfortable.
If you don’t know the piece, you probably won’t even notice it.
hahaha da canadain 
Indeed 
my favorite is his live rach b-flat prelude where the chords get totally wtf at the end but he never lets the fury subside, elusive as the right notes become.
pozz among the best cg recordings (behind, the plante op. 10 no. 7, of course)
maybe canadian will post it sometime?
It doesn’t sound familiar. Do you know the date/venue?
I have like 14 recs of him playing the 23/2 so it could take a while to figure it out by listening to them all.
i believe it was live from carnegie hall, and it was on a cbs lp. but this is just my memory… i’ll check on it.
K, I can post that one.
Tru, not really a memory slip, but definitely a screw-up.
i now remember how incredible this recording is.
still, the ending is a lesson for all aspiring speed demons
Priorities:
pozz 5 & 6 tied?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA tru da 23/2
n da WHALE live bombah from tchaik comp alzo a MAZTAHCLAZZ in da 2nd half alt hand chordz climax

Yeah, I don’t know this piece, so I didn’t noticed slip 
Can you tell when it happens?
I love this interpretation. Such imperial and majestic playing. This is truly regal musicianship. Thank you for posting it.
My guess is around 59 seconds, I don’t know the piece either.
This is a Shostakovich Fugue for anyone who doesn’t know (cannot remember wich).
I probably wouldn’t have noticed and I agree that Richter recovered superbly.
Dis be mah 12th fugue you donkey-eared biatches!
See dis in it’s tru gensui heah:

Dos vidanya, muthafuckers…
(I always wanted to say something as Shostakovich 
)
i always knew that your avatar was shostakovich, by virtue of this being a m*sic forum.
but he could really pass for rumsfeld in that pic.
The composer’s own recording of that piece is phenomenal. 
Rumsfeld?! WTF?!?!!
I love this picture of Shostakovich because he’s so intently thinking/listening. As an intensely private/introverted man, this captures so much of the “gears” going on in his head.
maybe it’s just me???
i like the pic too
haha tru i agree wiz fauzt
