I found a wrong note by Michelangeli!

on: March 17, 2008, 12:19:04 AM

Hehe the old legend that the master never did any wrong notes has now been proved wrong!

At 4:45 he missed a left-hand chord. Haha not like I cared or anything, I couldn't care less, but there was this old saying that we never heard Michelangeli do even ONE wrong note. Simply wanted to prove he is human.
