Leslie Howard improvising!
on: September 01, 2011, 06:48:31 PM
Heard that he is an outstanding improviser and that he can improvise fluently on an unseen theme in general.

Anybody heard him improvise?

Any recordings?

I haven't!  LH has made about 100 CD's of the music of Liszt however!

I bet the urge to improvise the umpteenth transcription of some obscure and forgotten opera for disk 73 rather than reading the sheet music was hard to resist, I mean, who's gonna know?
