...there is no need to begin tormenting us again just before our beloved reading period begins. Let us greet Domna for the first time as we stumble in for a leisurely late lunch. Let us stay up late at night, working hard, of course, without fear of rude awakenings in the morning. Let us keep that window propped open at night so that a gentle spring breeze wakes us from our slumber rather than the irregular, abrasive toll of a brass bell.

Zimerman was comfortable in the realm of the Fantasy's quirks--a march-like theme at the outset is never recapitulated; the piece ends in the relative major, not the parallel major--which place it far outside the world of the salon. The virtues of his playing were many: sizzling arpeggios, perfect pedaling, nimble wrist octaves, barnburning virtuosity in the big contrary-motion sweeps, so much that he lifted himself off the bench...
