G'day RB Girl and all! This morning, our classical music radio station played 3 Chopin Preludes, performed by Martha Argerich. The announcer pointed out that at the age of 8, Argerich performed a concert which included a Mozart D minor Piano Concerto and a Beethoven C major Piano Concerto.

I was musing about the feat of: 1. having the technical ability to carry off 2 concertos in one evening 2. having the chutzpah to be able to get an orchestra to agree to play with an 8 year old performer!

Started what ? From scratch ? I doubt it, as you cannot say Richter started from zero when he was already having a job as assitant conductor and applied for the Conservatory.

More info , please.
