actually agree with you, ramseytheii, about reading a score perhaps too literally. although, i always thought that the grace note meant simple to tell a person that the first real eighth note is the note of importance. but, of course, if you play them evenly - they all get the same importance - but it sounds better that way.ok. for masterclasses, schiff is the man. but, for listeners pleasure - there are distinctions between perfection and what sounds good and right to the ear. perhaps the right and wrong are not literal rights and wrongs - but what can be explained by the pianist to be their understanding of how to make beethoven come alive.
