Fans Say Goodby: With his recordings playing softly in the background, mourners have been filing past the open coffin of pianist Vladimir Horowitz in New York to pay their last respects--among them tenor Luciano Pavarotti, actress Kitty Carlisle and pianists Murray Perahia and Byron Janis. Many wept. Others blew kisses. “He was still playing so beautifully,” Wanda Toscanini Horowitz said outside the funeral house where her husband’s body was on public view. “He was everything in my life. We had some wonderful times and some very sad times together.”
