Title: What do you think of this piece?

I recently saw this video of Hamelin playing "The People United Will Never Be Defeated". I never heard this piece before, but after listening to it, I kinda felt in love with it.


So, what are your thoughts about this piece?.. Check the YouTube links to listen/watch.

this is probably the best theme and variations of the 20th century, and hamelin completely owns this piece. he even plays it better than rzewski himself, i think. id like to see lang lang or kissin attempt this piece, heh.

I like the simple yet easy to elaborate theme.
