Also, do you know anything about whether he pushed for speed when practicing, gradually increasing his practice speed, or practiced at a slower speed exclusively than performance speed.I thought he didn't practice. I'm sure he did in the early days, but it's possible to develop enough of a technique that practicing (for finger agility) becomes unnecessary. I regularly bring stuff to performance level without any real practice-- and I'm certainly not Glenn Gould. (I just really hate to practice.) Bill Larson P.S.-- I'm wondering about the sound quality of some of these grey-market cd's on the H&B site recently mentioned-- has anyone heard the Concertgabouw Bach D minor, or the Balt. Symphony Brahms D minor? Are they both in decent stereo? ************************************************** Signoff instructions, and user preference interface F_minor Website ************************************************** |
