Yeah, this is published by Peters in association with the Fondation Cziffra. I have to say it is my opinion that of the five etudes de concert the Bumblebee is not the hardest one  even if it is the most infamous. Nor is it the easiest, hehe ("easiest" being very much a relative term here)!

I think it's way cooler than the original.

Anyone that have a recording of Volodos playing it live?

He always sounds a lot more dynamic live then in the studio.
