I'm reviving this slightly outdated topic for two reasons. First, I just listened to the whole thing and found it absolutely fascinating. Second, I would like to perhaps begin a discussion on one particular point he mentions. Zimerman says that he enters performances with three or more fingerings prepared for each piece so he can adjust based on the piano. I think this is incredible! I've never bothered to work out more than two, and even then only for particularly difficult passages. I'm interested to know what others think about this.
