as we know, there are different kinds of virtuosity, from the intricate polyphony of godowsky, to the block chords and difficult rhythms of xenakis, its all different and uniquely difficult in its own way.
but which of these piano-writing styles do you think most fits the word 'virtuosic'.
what IS virtuosity to you?
to me, the style of cziffra's improvisations is the most quintessentially 'virtuoso' sounding of all, the sheer variety of techniques, textures, and above all - blinding speed at every turn, is the most stunning style of piano playing.
but this is subjective, and this is what this poll is for, so randomly - discuss.
