Hi guys,
I was just wondering if anyone went to Friday's performance of the Orchestra de la Suisse Romande. Boris Berezovsky played a couple of great encores - does anyone know what they were? One was a slower one (Saint-Saens, I think), and in the other, the left hand plays a single repeated note in quick stacatto for most of the piece. Answers? or guesses?
Thanks,
Andrew

Sorry if I was unclear - after he played the Bartok piano concerto, Berezovsky played two short solo pieces that were not on the program. I was wondering if anyone who heard them knew what they were.
