This amazing woman and musician lived lived in my community in the North Carolina mountains after she retired. The few times we met, mostly at chamber orchestra concerts in which i performed as a high school student, she gave me great inspiration to follow my dreams as a musician. I shall always feel blessed to have been touched by her.
Lily actually used to stay at our house in Lower Hutt, New Zealand when she would visit for concerts. It was a great thrill for me, a child at the time, to hear her practicising on our upright Bechstein Piano
Lili Kraus played one set of concerts with an orchestra I was part of at the time, the Alameda Symphony (c. 1978). She played the Mozart D Minor Piano Concerto, and her authority was quite evident, in her playing and in her suggestions to the orchestra and conductor.
my aunt, Talita Fonseca, studied with her. that makes my aunt a 6th generation student of Mozart. at the end of one of lili krauss's concerts in the carnegie hall, everybody wanted more of her music. so she said that she would call someone capable of representing her and invited my aunt to the stage. sadly my aunt abandoned her career to become a housewife and now she's vanishing because of alzheimer.
THERE SHE IS!!! She would certainly be on the list of the top five pianists who have ever lived. And, of course, TCU was nothing before she got there and, without her, it is nothing now. No matter what pretenses they have.

@plaidword It's not a song (you don't sing it); it's a piano piece.

What is the name of the song the girl was playing at 1:15?
