Horowitz chose one that would best suit his remarkable\u00a0technique which called for an extremely fast and responsive action, with tremendous uplift (enabling the keys to stay right\u00a0under his fingers).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/happynote.com\/music\/liszt-consolation-3-horowitz\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1460 size-full\"
