The hero culture sacrifices the gifted child for the profits of cultural achievements, giving priority to the cultural hero to the detriment of the simple human. The danger is alienation and widespread robotism. See, for example, Alice Miller, The Drama of the Gifted Child: In Search for the True Self, New York: Basic Books, 1996; Thou Shalt Not Be Aware: Societys Betrayal of the Child, New York: Noonday, 1998.

Sorry, of course, it's a typo. I meant he's kind of dead in the musical world, not physically dead. Gavrilov has been one of those children who were forced to become a 'classical' player, by his mother, from age 3, and the scars are real. Svjatoslav Richter was talking about it in several TV interviews in France and in Germany.

Gavrilov is not dead yet...

Fantastic. The reason why the late Gavrilov was not world-famous has never been unveiled. He has the technique and the supreme musical understanding and he was for some years been coached by the musical genius Svjatoslav Richter. Think about it. Today he his forgotten. The reasons? I won't expose them here for they are a shame for the Hero Culture.

There are alot of people who try to write music that is scary without visual aid. Very few are successful...this is one of three songs that actually frightens me when I listen to it, especially the very beginning.

The ending of the performance is just great. He's basiclally like, yeah, that was awesome, and I am finished!
