Spent the morning on this brand new Fazioli #piano. Excellent regulation... but I will die on this hill: these pianos are overrated. I prefer Blüthner, Imperial, Hamburg, or even a NY (serial numbers 616xxx and above only).

Gustav Mahler died around 11 pm on 18 May 1911, but his last concert appearance was in New York on 21 February. How then did Mahler end up in Grinzing? Look at his final journey: bit.ly/3WJSNbx

His signature is in my collection on my wall. My first teacher in South Africa studied with a student of his. Leschetizky was a unique character, wonderful pedagogue. He taught almost all the greats of the 20th century.
