I liked how much Mr. Horowitz knows. However, I wish we had talked more about his experience and gotten some advise on music administration. I was very excited to learn that he met Claudio Arrau because he is considered a "hero" in Latin America. I am glad I got his email and we'll probably be in contact. I will definitely go to the concert he is doing with the ASO in March.
It was great to get a chance to meet and talk with Mr. Horowitz. I agree with Valeria, I wish he can talked a bit more about his experiences right out of college and how he got his start. I was very interested in his take on what it means (or doesn't mean) to be an American classical musician. I liked how honest he was with us in regards to the performances he like or didn't. Through the early stages of performance up into college, you are appraised for every concert you give no matter how well it truly is. The only true critic you have is usually your applied teacher and yourself. It was helpful to her his opinion on performance practice in the professional world.
Joe Horowitz was fascinating. I was struck my his comments on his time as a critic. He said he was uncomfortable with the power he had (I believe he said this in his writing too). Through this window as a critic, he was able to see a lot of problems with systems and how Classical Music is presented. I liked that he didn't want Classical music to die away and disappear; he has quite a knowledge of piano duets and enjoys them. But he sees Classical music taking on a new role. he has a lot of interesting and exciting ideas.
