One of my gods...With some others like Vladimir Sofronitsky, and Hans Moravec...
He says after someone made to him the remark that in his playing he did not reproduce what it is written sometimes, he answer that the music is under his hands and in his heart not on a paper sheet mechanically activated by the brain ...
i cannot retrieve the link for the exact citation....But these words of mine reproduce what he said....
