I remember this story my old voice teacher (Who studied with Richter's wife at
the St. Petersburg Conservatory) used to tell me: they brought in this young
little piano virtuoso (around 11 or so) to play for the Maestro, and Richter
patiently listened with an amiable expression throughout this kid's recital. At
the end, Richter got up and shook the young boy's hand, smiling as he said
"Very well, very well, you did not miss a note. Maybe someday, in years to
come, you might be able to do music."

Just thought I'd share :)

Bright is the ring of words
when the right man rings them
Fair the fall of songs
when the singer sings them
Still they are carolled and said
on wings they are carried
After the singer is dead
And the maker buried.
