Jorge Bolet's pet hates

A newspaper amusingly reported a few of the pianist's pet hates: playing strange pianos, especially upright pianos in high schools, non-mixing bathroom taps (faucets), Rossini, peanut butter, mint in any form including toothpaste, Berlioz. 

The High Point Enterprise, North Carolina, 24 February 1954

Full disclosure: I like both Rossini and Berlioz.

Mattheus Smits, a friend of JB, has told me: "Jorge knew the translation of 'onions' in many languages. When ordering meals in Germany, he always said 'ohne Zwiebel'!"
