...important," he says. ''I never think of piano playing -only of making music." Barenboim makes music uncommonly well - as audiences in the U.S. and Europe have become increasingly aware.

...reprinted articles, on the assumption that the author is only clearing his throat. Both in selecting and cutting, Wallace's hand was sure from the start.
