History will undoubtedly look upon her as one of the great composers
of the late 20th. and early 21st. centuries, irrespective of gender.

RIP Alexis Weissenberg.

He was a very great inspiration to me as a teen and piano student. Good night, dearest. I'll have another wine and cry.

I don't think he was famous even Timtim couldn't remember his name and you think he might be famous, but what for? Arm wrestling maybe, beer drinking?
I will be curious to know, could it be Thalbergmad himself who had his birthday on 8th Jan, he must be his own hero, what do you think?
