  I saw him in Brussels, after the war. I was 16. We were rather poor, so our seats were on the side, almost over him. For two hours I was totally enthralled, I could not look at anything but his hands. I still feel it after all those years . It was my first real concert, unforgettable.

  &quot;You must not touch any piece of music which is not &apos;yours&apos;; which doesn&apos;t talk to you&quot;<br>&quot;Du sollst kein Musikstueck spielen das nicht &apos;dein&apos; ist; das dich nicht anspricht&quot;<br>&quot;No debes tocar ninguna pieza musical que no sea &apos;tuya&apos;; que no the diga nada&quot;<br>This is so extremely important. This video should be watched by any musician who takes his profession seriously.

  There will never be another like him. &nbsp;The world is a much poorer place without him. &nbsp;What glorious music he must be making in heaven!

  “Unplayable”... <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gex0sOR7XZ0&amp;t=305">05:05</a><br><br>THAT admission comes close to explaining a little Rubinstein’s artistic genius... his perception, insight, and modesty. <br><br>He was a true poet and reached a height in his artistry that very few pianists achieve in their ‘playing’, which is no longer about pianism, no matter how honourable and impressive. There IS an elemental Truth in what he managed to express.

  He is my great great uncle. My father looked just like Arthur, a perfect gentleman except he was schooled in Britain so he had a British accent. It’s my son who has inherited his hands. If he could only see the talent we all see in him he might not balk at practicing. Viva Arthur Rubinstein forever ❤ “when I play I make love” …

  Maestro, you are already living above the science. You now understand that soul can&apos;t be define by scientist because it can&apos;t be studied under their the 4 forces of the universe. Science can&apos;t explain why we seek the truth nor why we wrote poems nor why we seek beauty. &nbsp;Soul is that part of us that move us beyond the rational and physical state into the realms of beauty and joy, heavens itself were you dwell now immersed in beauty and music.

  &quot;When I play music, I make love.&quot;<br>Reminds me of what Schwarzenegger said about pumping iron in his documentary. You know 😉
