That probably sums up how many of us fell after Joseph Bloch's plano recital in Loke Yew Hall lost evening, His playing is restrained, polished and Heless, which nonetheless contains many object lessons for aspiring pianists. One could almost "hear some young plano student saying: "that is how such-and-such A passage
