Alberti bass

In noting down that Jorge Bolet gave summer masterclasses at Indiana during 17-21 June, 1974, I recalled a witty remark from the transcript of one masterclass -  not necessarily at Indiana  - where he emphasised that the melody must always be brought out (something he always demonstrated in his own playing).

He said something like: "I have given hundreds of concerts, and I've never known anyone to pay the price of admission to hear an Alberti bass."
