Post Subject: Hard for me to come up with a titlePosted by Michaelz on: 3/2/2007
I spent more time thinking of a title than typing the post. But I'll try to abide to the requirement.
I agree with your observation of the tone produced by most of today's pianists. I only disagree with the reason behind it. I think they concentrated too much on where the pianist meets the keyboard, namely the fingers and use only the muscle in the forearm that move the fingers. I bet if you try to hold a salami by one end loosely you can produce a sound that's more 3 dimensional more tasteful than today's average painist.
I am a big fan of Hofmann. I totally agree with what you said about his touch. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
