Somewhere else now I'd imagine if this is that person.

I'd guess not though.  He looks pretty young here for an 89 year old now.

Edit by x trench run a day ago.
Two notable artists have commented on this video, and they deserve recognition. The first is avant-garde composer Ramon Sender, the only living student of George Copeland, who himself was the only American to study under Claude Debussy. The most recent comment comes from concert pianist Frederic Chiu, a former student of Abbey Simon. Among his many achievements, Chiu has recorded the complete works of Prokofiev.

REALLY? You had to revive this 3-year old thread for a man who has been pretty much ridiculed and his theory dismissed as ridiculous by most serious musicians and pianists???

Let the thread die...
