![[UNBANNED] A SCANDALOUS Theory about Horowitz's peculiar Piano Playing Technique](/img/1.gif)
About practicing on a train - when Rachnaninov was touring the USA in the 1920s, he rented a train all unto himself and his family, to be able to travel between cities and get to sometimes use the carriage instead of a hotel overnight. He also mounted a piano in one of the cars, so that he could practice for hours, just like Horowitz. :) This was at a time when the US still had a tight and well-connected passenger railway network all over the country of course! Rach was plainly using the train the way later celebrities would make use of a private jet. :)
Amazing!
What about the Horowitz spike; that place on the concert stage where the piano’s third leg was placed for its best acoustics!
Fascinating tidbits about Horowitz. Many years ago, I enjoyed reading David Dubal's book, Evenings With Horowitz: A Personal Portrait. It provided some interesting insights about Horowitz's interest in the opinion young piano students had of him, being a senior at that point.
These are indeed fascinating little things about Horowitz!
You are right - Dubal's book is amazing! I will be doing more research on Horowitz and other amazing musicians - so please keep an eye for more!

Here's another fact about Horowitz - he was my grandmother's cousin.
Wow!
@@UgniusPianist The family likeness is astonishing. And the only thing I wanted to do before I even knew this was become a classical pianist. (Which I duly did).
@@dianemessias5689 Amazing stuff! There must be some undiscovered hidden treasures about Horowitz sitting in your parents/grandmother's or other homes of your close relatives, no?
@@UgniusPianist Sadly, my grandmother died around 50 years ago (born 1902, I think) and my parents also are no longer around. That side of the family was from Ukraine, then a part of Russia, my grandmother brought to the UK as a baby. (I'm not quite as young as you - or I - wish I was. 😉)
Somewhere, I have a photograph of my grandmother when young; if I ever dig it out, I'll post it on here, and you can compare the likeness.
Didn't he also require that sole be served at every evening meal?
Not sure.. Could be for sure!
One I was surprised about was his daughter and her tragic end
Ahh... I kept that out of this video...
@@UgniusPianist not a very fun story lol
@@pinkfloyddwc Its a tragic story; thats why I kept it out the video!
@@UgniusPianist then maybe ill delete my comment
@@pinkfloyddwc ahh, don't worry about that! I would keep it 😊
Hope you enjoyed the video!
my friend had a lesson from Horowitz. at 0:15 i thought you might say Jews - not dollars...
I mean I thought you might tell me somethign we didn't know. Pretty well known tivia-come on you should do better than that!
Hey, I'm sorry to hear that you're disappointed. Creating these videos is a labor-intensive process, and unfortunately, not every video turns out as amazing as I'd like. Nonetheless, I still share them because I've put in the effort to film and edit, and I hope that someone can still glean something new from them.
While your suggestion to strive for better quality videos may be fair, I feel it's important to emphasize that I have the freedom to run my channel as I see fit and create videos that I like; in other words, If you can do better - do better.
Of course you're "free to do what you want" and yet you ask for comments-so that was my comment. I"m sure some people get something from them-they just seemed very well known, stories about this most well know of all pianists-and I question the accuracy of some of the details. So even if you are dissatisfied with how they turn out, you still share them because you've put in the effort in-but if you're not happy why not do it over? Then you say" I feel it's important to emphasize that I have the freedom to run my channel as I see fit and create videos that I like." Obviously you do, who said you don't-but then take the comments you solicit in stride
