Not that there is much connection betwen the two.  Whatever he played,
he hardly ever (probably never, but who knows) played too many notes
too fast.
As to the latter: it is true, but - somehow, if you listen to two
performance of the same number, they tend to sound somewhat different.
Or perhaps it's just my ears?
