How come Horowitz is not mentioned? Janis was Horowitz's first pupil, when Janis was 17 to 20. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.226.218.23 ( talk) 15:38, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
I changed parts of this article because it sounded too much like an advertisement for the pianist rather than an objective description of him. I removed the bit claiming that Janis has recorded 'all the most difficult works in the repertoire', since there's no concensus on what the most difficult works are, making it impossible to record all of them, and since several works often regarded as the most difficult works, e.g. Godowsky's reworking of the Chopin etudes for (mainly) left hand, are not in Janis' discography.
This is still way too POV, I believe. I don't feel qualified to rewrite it, though, as I am not that familiar with his career. If nobody else does so, though, I will have a go at it. -- Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 01:11, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Since Janis is Maazel's senior by two years, they can't possibly have been 15 at the same time, as implied in the article's third paragraph. I'm not correcting it though, because I'm not sure as to exactly how old they were when the mentioned event took place. It would be good if that could be clarified.

Image:Byron Janis.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Byron Janis's first wife was June Dickson Wright, the mother of his only son. This is a huge omission, his only son happens to be my half brother. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a01:4c8:485:db41:8cf:9de6:38e9:a195 ( talk • contribs)
His discography is briefly covered in the lede, then ... nothing.
His succesful Carnegie Hall debut is mentioned, then ... nothing.
We need a lot more detail about his career, concert appearances, conductors and orchestras he played with, premiere performances (if any), and recordings. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 21:34, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
