from Kevin Bazzana's Lost Genius.

("All his life, he liked to add unwritten lower octaves and to transpose certain chords and melodies down an octave or two for greater mass".(..))

("Liszt has composed a few chords so heavy they should be rushed / to Padua's mineralogical institute for analysis. / Meteors!")

Nunca mejor dicho eso de “biografía definitiva”. 

El autor estuvo 20 años trabajando en este libro y se nota, por lo pesado que es. A veces es difícil de leer pero se hace más llevadero poniendo en youtube las interpretaciones que Glenn Gould hace de Bach.

¿Me gustó?: Más o menos.

De qué se trata: es la biografía de un pianista muy peculiar (hipocondríaco, mañoso, jodido), considerado uno de los mejores de la historia.

¿Por qué lo compré?: porque me generó mucha curiosidad después de leer Instrumental de James Rhodes donde habla de él.

Parte favorita:  me gustó saber que su único profesor fue Alberto Guerrero, un chileno de Tocopilla que vivía en Toronto.

Su viaje a Rusia y su decisión de dejar los escenarios para dedicarse a la grabación y edición (con cintas y tijeras) de sus interpretaciones.

Me gustaron mucho esos programas de radio a contrapunto que hizo sobre temáticas tan canadienses como universales.

Le puede gustar a: seguidores de pianistas.

Le puede disgustar a: personas con pocas ganas de poner de sí para avanzar en la lectura.
