The first contact with an American college audience was heartening. Pavlovsky [Valentin Pavlovsky] played admirably, and with the exception of one mishap the program went very well. At the beginning of a lengthy scherzo of a composer named Feltzer, Pavlovsky accidentally turned several pages at once. I made the same jump, caught him, and before we knew it the piece was over. Because of its humorous brevity, the delighted audience demanded a repeat. / “Let’s play it again, but right, this time,“ I said to Pavlovsky. We did. The same piece, stretching endlessly on, had a lukewarm reception. We never played Feltzer again.
