管理人さんの解説でハスキルの住んだ「ヴヴェイ」に触れられていましたので、チャプリン自叙伝の該当箇所を以下に引用いたします。本書終わり際の第30章の一部です。
.....In Vevey .....I met Klara Haskil, the concert pianist. She lived in Vevey and whenever in town Clara and both the Rossier families would come to dinner, and afterwards Clara would play for us.
Although past sixty, she was at the apogee of her career, having her greatest triumphs both in Europe and America. But in 1960 she slipped off the step of a train in Belgium and was taken to hospital where she died.
Often I play her records, the last she made before her death. Before I started the task of rewriting this manuscript for the sixth time, I put on Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.3 with Clara at the piano and Markevitch conducting ? which to me is as near an approximation of truth as any great work of art could be and which has been a source of encouragement for me to finish this book.
I sometimes sit out on our terrace at sunset and look over a vast green lawn to the lake in the distance, and beyond the lake to the reassuring mountains, and in this mood think of nothing but enjoy their magnificent serenity.
