An Interesting Blind Test

on: June 25, 2022, 01:42:51 AM

We've often heard of 'Pianist A is too ____' or 'Pianist B does ____ very well'. We all have our favourite and less favourite pianists. Given a hypothesised blind test between three or four favoured and unfavoured pianists, how well do you think you'd be able to choose your 'favourites'?

Quite well, given that my favorite pianists all have their own highly personal style. (Cortot, Horowitz, Richter, Rubinstein, Annie Fischer...)

What were your results? (Or what do you believe your results would be?)
