Thanks for establishing your user account, and for the comments you left at Talk:Vladimir Horowitz. I do appreciate your taking the time to respond. Good luck with your future editing, here at Wikipedia, the most important online information resource. Hamster Sandwich 02:37, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Veronica Jochum has everything to do with Horowitz. A) Horowitz's most famous attribute was his octaves. B) Virtually no one knows anything about how he achieved them. C) V. J. DID know something. Thus, it is relevant to the extreme. LorenzoPerosi1898 22:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tchaikovsky

That was very funny, and just as true! Haiduc 22:13, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] George Szell Grammar

Hi, thanks for catching my mistake-I rewrote the sentence like this. Please let me know if this is incorrect Hornandsoccer^Talk 21:03, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I am, and I think I started it with my addtion of the flag by his death year. I dunno what to say about it, some people are more than a little obsessed. Tons of Szell recordings, eh? I have Pictures at an Exhibition and Capriccio Espangol, but that's about it. Hornandsoccer^Talk 02:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I know what disc that is. I don't have that exact one, but I have the same performances on different compilations. You should hear his Beethoven Symphonies, they are white hot.THD3 03:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vladimir Horowitz

I reverted your latest edit to Vladimir Horowitz. Your edit makes it sound as if Horowitz was under the influence after 1985. He was not. The medications were started in 1981 and discontinued in 1983.THD3 01:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

i did the best i could with it. the sentence structure is so horrible, i really had no idea what was trying to be communicated. one of my greatest pet peeves in wiki-world is those lazy, sloppy parenthetical phrases squeezed into the middle or appended to the end of sentence. the use of parentheticals is so abused, and there is rarely ever a reason for them to be used. what then, exactly, is the deal with the meds...and its connection to the tour?--emerson7 | Talk 09:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

great job on that 'very troublesome paragraph!' re images of vh, the ukrainian wiki article has a serviceable image, but i'm not sure how...or whether it is permitted to use trans-wiki images. however, i've seen some absolutely gorgeous fotos that we should be able to commandeer....er acquire, under one of the {pd-old} licenses. my personal favourites are those of his younger years, which should also be easier to verify copywrite. --emerson7 | Talk 18:59, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
