[78-L] Last recordings

[Joe Salerno]

Not from a song exactly, but William Kapell was really pissed off at the 
Aussie critics who gave him bad reviews, and said "I'm never coming 
back". On the return trip his plane went down, everyone died.

One of the pieces he played on his last public recital, and this was 
down under, was the Chopin Sonata #2 with the famous "Funeral March".
