  The only problem - and it is a major one -  with Alan Walker's lectures is that they come to an end.  This beautiful one, in particular, which leads us closer and closer to Liszt's very Being.

  Imagine having a video of the indomitable Lizt playing his instrument while smoking a cigar!

  Wonderful to see and hear Alan Walker. He talks as well as he writes. None has ever done either better so far as Liszt is concerned.

  At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozTiAS2lb9E&amp;t=507">8:27</a> &nbsp;I had the privilege of shaking the hand of Artur Rubinstein in 1971, which featured &nbsp;those pads you spoke of here. I was a 17 year old piano student instructed from the school of Liszt with hands large enough to crawl 10ths, only to find Artur&apos;s fingers wrapping around in substantial excess of mine. Strangest hand I ever shook, and I made sure not to squeeze such a national treasure more than politely.

  Génie oblige was the motto Franz Liszt lived by and made him standout from other musicians and composers. Let&apos;s face it, many of them were a bit self-obsessed by comparison. This lecture mentions many examples of how this informed Liszt&apos;s life. Excellent lecture from Alan Walker.
