Anyone have a recording of what those two are supposed to sound like? The two compositions you guys have.

Also can anyone give me a link that shows me what the really high notes are? There are pieces besides this one that it would help me out on.

The top line if F of course. But you can still use FACE to find the notes. There is a FACE on the top of the treble staff. That helped me.

There are several arrangements of it, personally I find Rachmaninov's most interesting to play.

There are some other transcriptions which are just plain weird.

Of course, who can forget Cziffra's arrangement of that piece.

They all sound marginally different, except the Cziffra, which is the odd one out. Which one do you want?
