Has anyone in the group ever had a chance to examine the Lawrence Kubie papers in the Library of Congress? Kubie was Horowitz's analyst. Not sure how much (if...
There is some debate as to whether Horowitz played Schumann's Carnaval in the 1926. The Plaskin book does not mention Carnaval at all for that period though...

He certainly didn't omit such a showpiece when he was young. However in a 1978 recorded interview with Martin Meyer Horowitz said that he didn't like the...

This article - http://www.ajc.com/services/content/printedition/2009/01/04/lefty.html - claims that VH was a leftie. Any truth to that? I've seen photos where...

He also played with a mature sense of good judgement most easy to notice in close examination of his work on dvd. Common sense, some might say. Horowitz knew...
