New York - Day 11: The Fourth Class

Somebody asked Barenboim why he didn't take the third movement repeat in the Appassioinata last night, and he answered "I dunno....I knew somebody would ask me that. Hey Andre! Do you take the repeat?"

At which point I heard a booming voice right behind me say, "Yes, of course", and lo and behold, there he was. Andre Watts. Sitting right behind me.

Then I walked outside and I saw Itzhak Perlman talking on his cell phone.

This place is like a musical Hollywood.
