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.

Where is the mistake in the Chopin Scherzo?

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...
