Цитата из интервью Бенно Моисеивича:

But then you were a prodigy yourself as a child surely Mr
Moiseiwitsch? When you were playing at nine years old before
you went to Leschetizky and so on, you had a technique which
exceeded your expressive powers, didn't you?

I don't know. I never really tried to get a phenomenal technique, it
did not interest me, but Leschetizky, since you mentioned his
name, he opened my eyes. He's supposed to have been the
greatest teacher for technique, which is all wrong. With him it
was color and he tried to instill musicianship into the artist, into
his pupils, but technique, naturally you had to have a certain
technique as a means to an end, and that he kept on
emphasizing. Now with all my respect and admiration for
Horowitz, I blame him for it. Because since he came, it was
something of a hurricane and everybody started to emulate him,
but Horowitz is a great artist, a great musician, but there are so
many teachers and pianists that try to say "Oh! I can play this as
fast as Horowitz and as loudly!" and they do, and that's all there
is to it. Naturally there are a few exceptions, and these
exceptions will eventually emerge as good or great pianists.
