Chopin in Vienna - December, 1830
from Selected Correspondance of Fryderyck Chopin, page 76:
Thalberg plays famously but he is not my man; he is younger than I, popular with the ladies, writes Pot-pourris on themes from Masaniello, produces piano with the pedal instead of with the hand, takes tenths as easily as I do octaves and wears diamond shirt-studs. Moscheles does not impress him so it's not surprising that he liked only the tuttis of my concertos. He too writes concertos.
