...husband's 17-year-old son Alfonso, an art student and devilishly knowing seducer. Not for "Fonchito" such cloddish lines as "come up and see my etchings."

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Wild was sight-reading by age six, his fluid technique already a source of wonder. As a teenage student of the formidable Egon Petri (a tough, intellectual pianist renowned for his sturdy Liszt and penetrating Beethoven performances), Wild was already a concert-hall veteran, a kind of young American version of Vladimir Horowitz.
