シンガポールの思い出

2010-2014年、星国に滞在していたときの記録

Horowitz at the White House

I found brilliant live videos of the pianist Vladimir Horowitz. He played at the White House in 1978 when President Jimmy Carter invited him to perform. Please listen. I like all of them so much. Especially I recommend you to listen to the 5th one in which the pianist plays "Heroic", a Chopin Polonaise in A-flat major.

I play the piano. These videos encouraged me to play, but of course, I can't play as well as this guy. Anyway, I'll keep practicing.
