I am sorry to learn of this. He was only 1 year younger than me and I followed his career all my life. I do not know how he ranked amongst his peers, but I liked him very much.

RIP, André ...

Here's a rebroadcast of an interview with him in 1985:

https://www.npr.org/2023/07/21/1189243786/remembering-classical-pianist-and-musical-prodigy-andre-watts

One answer I thought was interesting:

GROSS: Do you think your playing's changed a lot over the years?

WATTS: Yes and no. I've said this so often, but I don't know what else
to say. My feelings are always the same when I'm asked this question. I
once had a conversation with Gyorgy Sandor, the pianist, and he said,
well, look, what really happens is that you learn more, and you get more
sophisticated, and your equipment gets better. But in principle, there's
a core that you play now exactly the way you did when you were 9 years old.

He who is flogged by fate and laughs the louder is a masochist.
