UPD This video intentionally stirs controversy, and I admit that I underestimated differences in the perception of people with various backgrounds so much that I banned the video at some point. But many people then asked me to unban it because the video nevertheless fulfills its main purpose: many people at least start thinking about what kind of technique will allow them to enjoy piano playing without injury as a life-long passion.
I admit that I had to elaborate on some issues in a more meticulous way. I am thankful to everyone who takes the time to elaborate on counterarguments and suggests dozens of alternative theories about the bizarre technical style of Vladimir Horowitz.
While accepting that the argumentation in the video might not be bulletproof, I nevertheless open myself to judgment for the sake of igniting fruitful discussions. I aim to challenge the untouchable holy-cow status that musicians gain when they become very famous. I hope to start a trend of a critical attitude and open discussions towards both enigmatically significant musicians like Vladimir Horowitz and provocative videos like this one.
Although I admire Vladimir Horowitz as an artist and musician, I will take a risk of offering a controversial theory about the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of his approach to piano playing. I claim that this technique might be dangerous for most piano learners.
If you feel offended by an attempt to analyze Horowitzโs technique simply because he is 'The Great Horowitz' ('how dare you!' - ยฉ Greta), and to separate his artistic output from the technical equipment he possessed as a piano player, please donโt watch this video. I warned you ๐
I donโt pretend to be absolutely right, but I have my concerns and arguments explained in the video. Let me know in the comments what you think. Despite the 'hot' topic caused by great admiration that many of us feel for one of the greatest artists of the last century, I invite you to be respectful in the comments. This video is not about interpretations or Horowitzโs value as an artist, focusing solely on sustainability of a particular technical approach.
