   OK, here it is:
   "After dinner, which was elegantly served, and chearfully eaten, I
   prevailed upon him to sit down to a clavichord, and he played, with
   little intermission, till near eleven o'clock at night. During this
   time he grew so animated and possessed, that he not only played, but
   looked like one inspired. His eyes were fixed, his under lip fell, and
   drops of effervescence distilled from his countenance. He said, if he
   were to set to work frequently, in this manner, he should grow young
   again."

And it is of C.P.E., (not J.S) that Mozart wrote 
in a letter (to papa Leo, I believe) "He is the 
father, we are the children"


Carl Friederich Abel was also famous for his 
extended, late night improv binges on the viola 
da gamba, assisted by numerous bottles of Claret 
(Prefer cheap Chianti & Sangiovese myself) in the 
company of awestruck pals- including his buddy 
Johann Christian Bach. No pics or descriptions of 
his body & facial language, unfortunately.


Dan (whose wife has admonished to control the 
facial tics & grimaces in performance.)
