The teenage Schnabel heard Brahms play live...

performing his own works. Although there were plenty of wrong notes, Schnabel reports Brahms "played in the grand manner" I doubt Brahms the pianist would get by the first round of today's competitions either.
I note with interest that an 18 year old Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli placed 7th in his first competition, the 1938 Ysaye. Winner was Gilels, then 21.
