Arturo Toscanini's (Horowitz's father in law) favorite Chopin Mazurka "I'm obsessed with one mazurka, this one, in A minor. It's sadness is consonant with mine. In the middle, there is a bit of joy darkened by a bit of regret, and then the infinite sadness comes back! " (Arturo Toscanini-1933)

Horowitz's flat hand position was mentioned in some of the posts. A bit unusual, granted. I actually performed on that Steinway piano after he passed away and it was one of the easiest actions I've ever experienced--which Horowitz demanded. The piano definitely took some getting used to but required almost no arm weight--only very sensitive finger action which explains the flat fingers and low hand position. But the instrument had a tremendous tonal & dynamic range and a clear, bell-like sound.

Such an amazing, brilliant interpretation , he makes me love every note. There are no words to explain his musicality and sense of rhythm, he sings amazingly and goes so deep into music. When we speak about his pianism we should put apart academic or cultural considerations: Horowitz provides the human kind of universal sense of pure Music. Those pianissimo and slegato are divine. We need more Horowitz, so great that Chopin, Schumann, Clementi, Rachmaninov and many other authors would be POP. Because he is in pure connection with Music, with the author, with the public at the same time. He makes you smile and cry, he makes you elevate on another level. Volodja , 2023 and nobody can be compared to you, to date.

@@damaomiX My teacher taught me this. It eliminates strain in the hands, wrists, shoulders and arms, and therefore also the torso and back. She taught me to play with gently curled fingers, as if I was holding a tennis ball, but with the hand gently sloping down, and with the fingers almost hanging on the notes. When playing scales, it was SO easy to move along the keyboard. Astounding. It took me 6 months to learn it, playing only scales and exercises during that time, at my own request.. After that, we introduced pieces, and courtesy of that technique, I was able to jump into playing much more complex pieces right away. A real leap up, and so worth it.

As I know the history of this piece, this is one of Chopin's last works, written not too far before his death. The Op. 17. is misleading, was given to the piece when rediscovered. By me there is a lot of hint of sadness in it and so inimitable personal and delightful.

Very light action can be an advantage as well as a disadvantage. for fast passages to be played loud, such as the coda in Chopin ballade can be an advantage. But playing some of his slow and gentle nocturnes can be a trick. I have tried light weighted keys and i can say its very very difficult to control the volume without "banging" on the keys. As well as developing technique, this isint exactly the best type of piano to use, once you get on a harder weighted, your screwed.
