      At the piano he was a genius and he gave of himself fully and without reservation, we know that. We love that. Away from the piano, who knows. Probably a mixed bag, like most of us - nobody's perfect. That's why they say "never meet your heroes". As far as his daughter goes, who knows the real story. Regardless, whatever his failings in his personal life may have been, he's still a wonderful musician, and has given me many wonderful and inspiring hours listening to him, and for that I am grateful. I don't think he's perfect, but I love him anyway.

    You probably missed a couple. His sort of 'jump' or 'lean back' on the bench after concluding the B minor mazurka _ff_ rather than _pp,_ or maybe his laughter playing the same Bizet's _Carmen_ at home with the Wallace interviewer. Maybe the tongue stick out at the end of Chopin's B minor scherzo at home also counts.
