Which video is that?  Yes, a pity.  There must be a lot more still---Les
Adieux, more Wagner---that he played not for the camera, the microphone,
or anyone else.  Perhaps that's creativity in its purest form.  I think of
Charles Ives, a lot of Schubert's stuff,...  Any other notable closet
composers/writers?
