Quotes about Fischer

 * I heard Edwin Fischer, who did not mean much to me. I heard another pianist in Berlin who had a big success and I thought he was awful — Mischa Levitzki. Just fingers, and you cannot listen only to fingers. There is a difference between artist and artisan. Levitzki was an artisan.
 * Vladimir Horowitz, quoted in Harold C. Schonberg, Horowitz: his life and music
