I did not know of Piatigorsky's remark. Thanks for sharing.

For those who may not know, but may yet care, the "god joke" I was referring to was George Bernard Shaw's famous line after hearing Heifetz for the first time in London, "Jascha, please make a mistake, so the gods may sleep!"

If an ego was already over-inflated, that could well pump it up close to exploding...
