In Reply to: Kosman, the Chronicle and The Mercury posted by TGR on July 24, 2016 at 12:18:02:
Kosman has made a number of factual mistakes over the years (ones that a professional critic should not be making), although I don't keep track of them, since his reviews and writing are both truly forgettable. I DO remember that, in one of his first reviews, he kept talking about a pianist who overused the "sustain" pedal. I happened to be at the concert, and the pianist in question (forgot who it was) never once touched the "sustain" (sostenuto - or middle) pedal. What he was obviously referring to was the right (or damper) pedal. I sent him a sarcastic letter (with a copy to Commanday) which included a photo-copy of the article on piano pedals (and their names) from the Harvard Dictionary of Music. Somehow, I didn't get a reply from either one of them - not that I expected to! ;-)
