From the notes by Robert Sherman: "Mother played a short piece at her American recital debut in 1924 … and the B Minor Sonata at her last solo recital in 1947 (the Carnegie Hall performance here issued for the first time). … Mother never approached Chopin as a specialist who knew exactly how everything should be done; she was simply an artist who sought out the emotional heart of every piece she played, and approached Chopin in awe of his creative magic."
