I've heard this work for some 30 or so years, more probably.
One day, in the hardware with my bluetooth headphones and youtube I put this on so I could walk around and get some kind of exercise.
This was the day this piece decided to "let me in" and I finally "got it".
Seeing a 6 foot 291 lb 67 year old Irishman on the verge of tears and wanting to pirouette around in circles with arms flailing and sailing would have got me arrested, so I opted to just stand behind the cart and let everyone else pass by without consequence.

Dear Mischa, thank you so much for your ongoing efforts to preserve performances such as this one. Many years ago you told me that you were working on a biography of Jascha: was it ever published?

[@mishoren]

Not published, there was no interest from publishers plus I was not at all happy with my text. If you join my "Friends of Jascha Horenstein II" group on Facebook you'll find lots of biographical detail on an ongoing basis.
