From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Very funny!

One of Ms. CfL's piano teachers was Robert Helps, who, I believe, got a respected reputation for playing contemporary works. Anyway, she told me that he was very. . . uh. . . physical at the lessons - but not in a sexual way. He would do things like roughly grab her by the shoulders (from the back) and push her toward the keyboard as she was playing. Apparently, there was a method in his madness, and she considered this method legitimate. I forget though what he was trying to accomplish.
