LETTERS, Page 7Horowitz Contrast
The late pianist Vladimir Horowitz first appeared in Tokyo in
1983 (MILESTONES, Nov. 20). His poor performance made many people
wish he had come when he was younger. One critic called him "a
cracked antique." The story could have ended there. But on his
second visit to Japan, in 1986, another, far better Horowitz
appeared. If there are miracles, that was one. But as he once said,
"What's important is contrast."
