Yes, I like his slower playing alot too, but then - people who can play slow music well are a dime a dozen.People who can play octaves like that are, well, you know..not.
Adobe Acrobat, do be a acrobat.
Legendary debut.
I've seen better 23 (51.1%) Names, people?
I did not vote, but to name a couple, Anton Mordasov (who played this piece since he was 11y.o.) and (esp.) Vladimir Bakk--nobody ever had such quality of octaves in this piece, where every single one pierces the air like a little laser.

Show me faster octaves.
Instead, you even without having any slightest idea about whom, or what I am talking about for some unexplainable reason chose to post a picture of a stopwatch .
Some people just don't 'get' it.
But if you were refering to tds as the one not "getting" it then I have a question for you, isn't the whole point of playing to become better? I would have to agree with tds that focusing solely on speed will limit your ability as a pianist.
I was refering to tds..and I do recognise speed as an important aspect ofmusic making, but of course just one of many.I also recognise speed, dexterity, and agility as admirable and important elements outside of music making.It's like football players thinking track athletes are silly just for focussing on one thing - speed.Track athletes will respond that football is great fun,and a great sport, but that their pursuit is more pure, and exhilirating.

music would be the sideshow entertainment
Rather, music would be the victim...
Here's a video of Bakk if anyone's interested:
I can play the 4th chopin etude at least as fast as richter. But none will hear the notes. Who would be impressed by that?
There are way too many 'musical' pianists out there, we need more pianists with more tehcnical excellence and the abandom to unleash this kind of meteoric warpfactor 8 speed.
Amazing, no?

This is great, but Argerich's are just as good, and cleaner....
I knew quite a few individuals who could play the HR6 at least as fast, but with more control and quality, and most of all much more interesting, musical, with more charm, grace, and abondon, this music asks for.
...far more musical than this Grynyuk clown.
blabllabla...Walter RamseyQuote from: jakev2.0 on November 26, 2006, 04:46:35 AMThe HR 6 is faster than Cziffra, but about 1/10th as exciting.I like Cziffra's rendition as he knows - and stays within - his limits. But it's Liszt! Those octaves need power and strength...

It's just fast and rather sloppy.
Somebody help! We've been invaded!
My !&$%ing GOD... THIS is exactly why I haven't joined such childish, moronic, stupid and PATHETIC piano forums ever...
