Personal Quote:

Concert pianists are really afraid to try out the Beethoven Fourth Concerto if the Third happens to be their specialty. That's the piece they had such success with on Long Island, by George, and it will surely bring them success in Connecticut. So first there's tremendous conservatism. And then stagnation sets in.

Trivia:

Attended same east-end Toronto high school (Malvern Collegiate) as Norman Jewison. See more »

Trademark:

Humming while playing the piano
