Some current favorites are:
"To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time." ― Leonard Bernstein
“Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music.” ― Sergei Rachmaninoff.
Practice with purpose - repetition is the way we learn our music, but the repetitions must be accurate and directed towards a specific goal. Then the results will be amazing!
First of all is Beethoven, simply the greatest, then Liszt, who makes the piano sound more orchestral than anyone, Debussy, Chopin...the list goes on
Hearing Emil Gilels play a piano concerto (Beethoven) at Carnegie Hall - during the applause he acknowledged someone in the audience - turned out to be Horowitz.
My first live broadcast on WFMT was an all Liszt recital - including the Sonata in B minor, which happens to be my favorite piano composition.
