		Graffman is idiomatic and technically adroit infusing his part with manifold skill and insight.
		With Graffman he had a collaborator of instinctual understanding and if neither of the major performances are world shattering they still shed serious light on Senofsky’s artistic profile and that is entirely right and proper.
		This closely-recorded recital from the Library of Congress in March 1975 represents Senofsky and pianist Gary Graffman's last public appearance together and juxtaposes the pair's sensitively phrased reading of Brahms' contemplative A major Sonata with the jagged fierceness of Prokofiev's F minor piece.

	washingtonpost.com: Gary Graffman's Dazzling Dexterity
		Like his contemporary Leon Fleisher, Graffman lost the use of his right hand to dystonia at the peak of his career; unlike Fleisher, he has, to date, never recovered full use of both hands.
		It was in all ways an admirable performance: Graffman plays with dazzling accuracy, his hand bouncing over the keyboard with the spring and velocity of a SuperBall.
		Graffman's recording of Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C, recorded in the 1960s with George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra, has always been my version of choice, brilliantly combining motoric ferocity with ecstatic tenderness, the composer's favorite moods.

		Gary Graffman: I have added to it, but there are about six piano concertos have been written for me, as well as some chamber music, and we didn't mention that there is some chamber music that was written for Wittgenstein as well.
		Gary Graffman: Well would write a good piece, I think, if the composer knows something about the piano and any composer should, you know, he would obviously not write a chord where you have to play one note which is two octaves above the lower note, because it can't be physically done with one hand.
		Gary Graffman: He's better known as a conductor, you're right, he was the conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra, it used to be called Minneapolis Orchestra, for quarter of a century or something, and I played with him on many occasions.

	Pianist does right by left-handed works
		Pianist Gary Graffman has seen it all, musically speaking, from the growth of American orchestras in the 1950s and '60s to the sad decline in public-school music education in the 1980s and '90s.
		Although Lang Lang is a special case, he is joined, Graffman says, by a large number of pianists in their early to mid-20s who are voraciously devouring the concert and recital landscape.
		Graffman's pleasure is to perform only about 35 concerts a year, compared with the 100-plus of decades ago, due partly to an injury to his right hand 26 years ago.
