you're an amazing pianist! why don't you try entering competitions? I'm sure you'd surprise many people!!
I find this Egmont transcription more successful than the Henselt one, which I've played and consider a bit thin. I think it is much harder to transcribe Beethoven and Wagner successfully than bel canto, for example - the textures are deeper and more "volcanic". Using too much tremolando to make the sound thicker also can imo become a bit repetitive and cliched after a while.
Take a look at his age, then check out his repertoire and the time it supposedly took him to learn it. Finally screen his compositions/transcriptions. If this is real - then Marc-Andre has finally found his master !https://br.geocities.com/arturcimirro/index_eng.htm

Nice , thanks. Are you on Facebook?
Artur, I enjoyed very much the Rach. Prelude.. Love your playing. I especially appreciated how you worked the middle section. Very inventive.
Very ingenious!I know it's a bit silly to more or less ask if you do requests, but have you looked at the Adolfo Fumagalli Robert le Diable for left hand only (op.106)? To me, it seems quite amazing. I've tried to play it and some of it is just beyond me. There is a recording in existence but, good as it is, it's not diabolical enough.
Holy hell, well done, it really sounded like two hands in places!
Hello Ronde,Thank you for the feedback,well, yes, I can do requests, in this case you are asking a piece I already know and played (!)So no problems to record in the next opportunity in a studio since I already have some scheduled dates.Anyway you just gave me an idea... I can receive other requests too, maybe I can start a project where people give a small fee for help and I can pay the studio for recording the project. Would you mind if I add your name as the first example of "requested piece" for such project? (your request is free anyway)
The Scriabin 42 no. 3 is amazing. I purchased this score, but I just use it as an exercise--I didn't know if it was really performable, and you have done it with such sensitivity! Would you be able to finger the score or perhaps come up with (or refer me to) some exercises that focus on its difficulties? There are spots where I'm doing 4-5 trills while holding a note with 3, and the tempo drops down about 20 beats.
Again, Artur, I have to say that this is quite spectacular!
Here a recording of 10 Pieces by Scriabin in my left hand !...Ronde! Great, I'll add your name in the project (and your website address if you wish - propaganda is always good )All the bestArtur Cimirro
I do like the Riva recording - I think it's quite a feat - but definitely I prefer yours. It's less cautious, and more "devilish", particularly in the opening. And now the Cavatine segment makes more sense! As you know, I've recorded the Kullak transcription of the Cavatine, but Fumagalli's treatment of it is really clever, and maybe I prefer the one hand version to two here! Amazing. I hope people understand just how difficult this piece is.
I'll be interested to see what you have in mind!Btw, I watched your documentary last night. Actually, in its own way, it is quite inspiring. Certainly thought-provoking, the segment about the Beethoven Pathetique was very interesting.
.. you can listen the full Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique played by me in this link: https://opusdissonus.com.br/CIMIRRO_studio-master-class_001.htmand there you can find also an audio of a "studio master-class" where I speak and play parts of the same work based on the principles of the Scientific System of Interpretation.
I am reminded of what one of my teachers said to me "You must interrogate the score, all the information is there!" It is true, often we are conditioned to play what we are used to hearing, not what is has been written.
I enjoyed this transcription very much, Artur, thank you
