+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Anton Rubinstein (28 November [O.S. 16 November] 1829 – 20 November [O.S. 8 November] 1894) was a Russian pianist, composer and conductor, whose pianism was said to rival Liszt's.
Be that As It May
When caught up in the moment of performance, Rubinstein did not seem to care how many wrong notes he played as long as his conception of the piece he was playing came through. — Wikipedia
When Rubinstein played in the zone
He played with aplomb all his own;
But musical thinkers
Complained of the clinkers
To which his performance was prone.
