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.

I found a wrong note in a Glenn Gould Schoenberg recording.  Let me relisten and I will tell you exactly where it is.

I have a recording somewhere where Josef Hoffmann gets a bunch of notes wrong. And he wasn't improvising either...

Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music
The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.
