E11 - Yefim Bronfman - master of the keyboard

Pianist Yefim Bronfman, “Fima,” chats with Manny about their decades-long friendship, their love of sports, their surprising anxiety around live broadcast performances.  They’ll answer listeners’ questions about recovering from injuries and picking repertoire, even the stuff no one heard of!  Fima and Manny work together in our Newly Dead game to identify odd ways composers have died.

Our theme song is Schumann’s Arabeske in C Major, Op. 18 performed by our host, Emanuel Ax.

Piano Sonata No. 1 in C minor, Op. 8: II. Adagio
