Gyorgy Sandor, rip

Gyorgy Sandor passed away this pas week.  The world has lost a brilliant pianist and an amazing teacher, and person in general, who believed that if you didn't break a string, you weren't playign it with enough power.  He was 93, and had been giving concerts into his 90s. 
Wish we could have an encore.

I'm sorry to hear that...
We lost great pianist, especialy Bartokian..
He worked with him and knew very well nim as a person and a composer. I specialy like Suite op.14 wich ih performed for the first time in the USA at his Carnige Hall debut recital.
He said very useful stuff in the video The Art of the Piano..
Really a loss..

My current teacher studied with Gyorgy Sandor, so i guess that would make  me a student of a student of him, and also a student of a student of a student of Bartok.

At least he lived a long life, enriching others' lives by playing and teaching.

May the man keep playing in the afterlife.

Interesting you should bring this up... I studied for 6 years with Jack Winerock, who was a student of Sandor's.
