# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born October 1, 1903, in Russia, Vladimir Samoylovich Horowitz carried his virtuoso technique across borders and decades, eventually settling in America. His playing wasn't just precise; it had a distinct timbre, a voice in the instrument that other pianists couldn't match. Audiences didn't simply attend his concerts — they came for the public thrill, the sense that something rare was happening in real time. He died November 5, 1989, leaving behind a standard few have touched.
