horowitz piano

[Benjamin Treuhaft]

In the '70s I used to tune the thing in his house.  It was only special
because Franz Mohr regulated the (german) action beyond recognition
even though at that time Horriblewitz wasn't concertizing.  We kept
three for him - one at his house, one in a special cold room in the
Concert Basement, and another one I forget where.  He was a wonderful
old fart and I only did it twice.  The first time I was anxious to get
to my next job but he played a bunch of Chopin etudes.  It was pretty
good.
