It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Help me to understand the solo piano

My favorite piano CD is Horowitz playing Favorite Beethoven Sonatas, Moonlight, Appassionata, Pathetique, on CBS MK 34509. There was a Sony reissue. There is some tape hiss audible if played loud, but the piano playing is stunning, IMHO.

Horowitz also did some recordings of Scarlatti sonatas which show off his gentler side.

His Favorite Chopin CDs should be good, too. I have the second one whic contains his marvelous recording of Chopin's Sonata no. 2, the Funeral March Sonata.

He did some very fine later recordings on DG, but my favorites are still his CBS recordings (some reissued on Sony), even with a little tape hiss.
