Gary Graffman, now 76, has indicated he will be stepping down as the director of the Curtis Institute. No successor has been named and there is some controversy as to whether it should be performing musician such as Graffman was when he took over. (Actually, with his hand problems, it was probably a terrific opportunity for him to become an administrator and cut way back on performing.) It is shocking for me to realize that I am old enough to remember when Graffman was routinely referred to as an OYAP (Outstanding Young American Pianist). Scott Morrison
