Esther Honens International Piano Competition, Third Floor, 116 Eighth Avenue SE, Calgary Alberta T2G 0K6 - Recalls evenings at Tanglewood with him in the sixties; recently took a job in Prague as dean of a new music academy, but found himself 'bamboozled' alas; is now in Calgary working on the competition for professional pianists, was devastated by Leinsdorf's death; remembers Murray Abraham as compere of the Van Cliburn competition which he ran, not realizing he was a Texan until he saw his boots; found the stuffiness in the music world about 'Amadeus' just stupid, perhaps envy; enjoyed his description of Mozart's music as bountiful and economical; paraphrases what Colin Davis used to say about Mozart, that much of the music went by like clouds on a windy afternoon, and the trick was to make those moments felt without losing the sweep of the work.
