I SOOO don’t believe that Horowitz ever played Alkan’s Festin d’esope

17

randomly tho do u have any knowledge or info if :rectum: ever said sheeyat/showed interest of :kan: ?

18

if i get to choose just one pianist with one composer only, Feinberg’s Bach (partitas, toccatas, eng/french suites, concertos, 2-3 part inventions) will fulfill my dream.

19

I’ve read alot of interviews and biographies etc and NEVER does Richter mention Alkan or his body of work in ANY way.

Richter Brahms 3rd sonata is WAYYYYY up on my list in this
And the complete Fantasiastucke, the complete Gaspard, and PROKOFIEV 2nd, Liszt some HRs (except the no.3 which he played),

horowitz, brahms paganini var (if it was really recorded, i would love to hear it), Gaspard (imagine the touching in Gaspard), bach (any partita), liszt chasse neige

kapell brahms 2nd, chopin etude 10/1,2, kreisleriana

Annie Fischer, anything she didn’t play
