[CAUT] Keith Kirchoff

[Ed Sutton]

Kent,

I don't know what Kirchoff's playing for you, but I'd submit that Cowell's 
forearm clusters, with force distributed over 12 to 20 keys, exert less 
force on the individual notes than the fortissimo octaves of typical 
late-romantic show-off repertoire.

Yes, actually I do.  And he's a very gifted performer.  I had the 
opportunity to tune for him while I was spending some time at the Banff 
Centre last year.  He may play hard but I think it is disrespectful to label 
him a "piano abuser".

Anyone here know pianist-composer and piano abuser Keith Kirchoff?
