      At the piano he was a genius and he gave of himself fully and without reservation, we know that. We love that. Away from the piano, who knows. Probably a mixed bag, like most of us - nobody's perfect. That's why they say "never meet your heroes". As far as his daughter goes, who knows the real story. Regardless, whatever his failings in his personal life may have been, he's still a wonderful musician, and has given me many wonderful and inspiring hours listening to him, and for that I am grateful. I don't think he's perfect, but I love him anyway.

    That last bit where he looks at the camera and nods like "are you still with me? Do you get this?" it's like one of those moments someone older than you says something really deep but you're too young to understand so you feel embarassed and says "yes" but you both know you didn't get it

    You probably missed a couple. His sort of 'jump' or 'lean back' on the bench after concluding the B minor mazurka _ff_ rather than _pp,_ or maybe his laughter playing the same Bizet's _Carmen_ at home with the Wallace interviewer. Maybe the tongue stick out at the end of Chopin's B minor scherzo at home also counts.
