I adore this piece, my favourite Cziffra transcription.

Very technically accomplished performance, all the notes are there, but of course with Cziffra having god-like facility, he can play the runs and octaves with more speed and 'finesse', but he is Cziffra 

This is just a great and moving performance, great sense of rubato and voicing, all I can advise is that you play it more and with time you will develop a more individual interpretation, this great music can be played many ways.

Have you heard Uematsu's performance of this piece?

There it is, he's just a random japanese amateur, but his playing is world class, I'd nearly say I favour this interpretation to Cziffra's own.

Donjuan has given us another tour de force performance.  Great!!!

An excellent performance. It's a difficult thing to quantify, but somehow Cziffra sounds more improvisatory, and this sounds "prepared" - Cziffra's playing has an ethereal nature which defies description (he is Cziffra of course!). It's a small quibble though, when faced with playing of this quality.

Bravo!, I wish I played it this well.

My thoughts are in sync with those of the previous posters.

Great job!

[pianistimo]

wow.  this is great.  i like the twaa twaa parts.

you know this sounds like a mix between a 'valse' and 'tango.' i'd sort of like to see it tangoed.

[rach n bach]

wow...

that's all I can say.. wow...

Awesome man    Keep it up!

I really have to start to get more serious about learning this piece.
