This Thursday. Got my ticket. I've never heard him, but have heard about him. Anybody ever see him? This is what he's playing: SCHUBERT Four Impromptus, Op.142 Sonata in A Major, D.664 LISZT Vallée d’Obermann Sonetto 123 del Petrarca Mephisto Waltz No.1 George, do you have any recordings of the D664? I'd really like to hear it a few times before going. |

I've heard him about 3 times. He's one of my favorites. He comes to Pittsburgh on a regular basis. You're in for a great evening. My piano teacher was a piano student with him at Julliard, I think (or Indiana University, not sure which). |

Wow! And from what I've read, you've got some piano teacher. Good for you. |

Yeah, I really like my piano teacher. He really likes "Manny" as he calls him. Says he's just a great guy who deserves the success that he's had. This weekend I listened to my piano teacher rehearse Rachmaninoff piano concerto No. 2. He did a dry-run for his students -- he has a concert this month. Wow. That was a great experience. |

I think Andre Watt is on the faculty of Indiana Univ. That's some staff they have. |

Yes, in my next, more talented life, I plan to study music there. Make sure you give us a review of Mr. Ax's performance. |
