Bernard Purdie story

When Mozart was composing his Piano Concerto in D-min, he was on a very tight production schedule. The musicians were rehearsing parts as soon as the ink was dry enough to do it. The orchestral parts of the composition were completed just barely in time, on the same day as the performance, and the piano part, since it was to be played by Wolfgang himself, wasn't finished until afterwards. (Lucky for us he cared enough about his work to go ahead and put it down! -- actually, he didn't. The piece had something of an oral history, and it was Beethoven who wrote down his interpretation of the way the piece might have been played. We will never know, really). It has taken me 28 years to learn to even pretend to play this piece of music. The orchestra had minutes to learn it, and Mozart apparently just played it as it appeared in his head, before he'd even written it down fully. And even though Bernard Purdie was quite young at the time, word has it he layed down a smokin' groove on the percussion parts. -- Free bad advice available here.
