Title: STEVIE
Post by: Kassaa on February 09, 2007, 06:54:36 PM
What's the fastest rec of op.10/1 you know of, and what would be Cziffra's timing if he played it completely in the improv?

An amateur named Nathan, a member of da SDC, is the record holder at around 1:20

Mich Fang, also another SDC member, submitted a recording around 1:10-15, albeit with somewhat diminished accuracy.

Cziffra's complete time would have been around 1:25 or so, if he didnt apply rubato at the end too.
His maxed out speed of course would be higher, but this would risk accuracy.

Mei-Ting Sun has bragged about the 'fact' he can play it in 1 minute flat.
Fact is, he probably can't, and sadly he is a pitiful human being.

Risking a degree of accuracy, I could play this piece in under 1 minute also.
The 'degree' of accuracy of which I speak, is widely speculated and noone quite knows the limits of my extraordinary powers.

As always - Time will tell  :)
