Liszt - Soirees de Vienne (Fr. Schubert), performed by V.Horovitz 

As far as musical rejoice is concerned, during my 81. years lifetime of hard musical work, I learned that our musical progenitors (that includes Horowitz) gave us all their intrinsical musical insight, to build up in our soul the difficult task to worship this ART. Every selfish controversial argument, works against this marvelous magic called MUSIC ! In music you´ll find no Sinn or Guilt, whatsoever, even if your critics seems divine !

it's so depressing, petty & pathetic that some people are never satisfied with NOTHING! These trolls, fools & haters probably can't play s**t on the piano, and yet they have to criticize. I mean, the pettiness has to STOP! They're probably some frustrated teenagers in a basement somewhere in self-pity & discontent with their lives. It's actually quite embarrassing for any individual to feel the need to judge & criticize a not only dead person but a great one. A musician of Horrowitz's caliber that has truly lived the classical life, besties with Rachmaninoff, & a SOLD-OUT! world renowned pianist to his dying days. Anyhow, I better stop bitching 'cause this crap is starting to affect my mental stability & overall easy going personality. Hope I've made my point clear. 💋

@@Michelle6998832 Quotenwagnerianer commented about the performance, and gave a reason for their view. Your comment was an ad hominem as petty as your view of the earlier comment. Please understand that a comment doesn't deserve such a retort merely because it is adverse. If it did, then the only valid sort of comment would be unalloyed praise, which would be worthless because we would have no alternative.

@Rosie Fay Whatever, pal! My comment wasn't about a single comment. It's about the corrosive classical piano culture in which nothing is ever good enough to please certain people who are clearly trying to seek attention (aka: The knows it all(s) ), or a validation of sort. Everything you wrote to me in your analogy (if one can call it that) perfectly describes your "rebuke" of my comment reversed back at you. You can go to any piano performance, read the comments section, and you'll see for yourself exactly what I mean. Though we live in a free country where you don't have to agree nor like a type, or genre of specific performative arts because you were told to do so, the level in which certain people go in making those comments? As if they're the "intellectual authority" or pioneered and are complete masters in the subject in which they're being critical of reads bunkers to me. What you're defending has far more real negative life impact than my philosophical belief in why criticism & critique aren't 2 sides of the same coin. Many, many, many people have been psychologically traumatized, gave up music all along, or never even tried. Due to stage fright, or a inexplicable fear of being rejected or made fun of, or simply mistakenly feel that they aren't good enough. This is wrong! It isn't good for music, the future of music, the cultural, heritage values, love, and the development of early age appreciation and enjoyment of music. You are free to say whatever you want, as so am I, but just so you know, it's not a good thing for the life and longevity of good music, future generation's love of, and drive to pursue it. Good day, sir/mam!

This was written by Liszt not Schubert! He was the greatest virtuoso ever. So the music is a reflection of Liszt not Schubert. What a magnificent piano Horowitz recorded on!!
