I don't know, if this is a random coincidence, but I just found this crazy and absurd - it's worse than Richter's - Jeux d'eau, played by the composer himself


If it doesn't work - try something different!

the first one i watched was of ravel.  despite the funny start - it's amazing!  so full of fluidity (even for a roll) - it seems to get better in the middle and then slow down at the end.  but, still fluid.  very cool.  very very cool.  i will always remember this rendition.

Walter, kindly refrain from posting absurdities.

This topic is a distillation of all that is crazy, the other is about incredible.

They are different words.  :)
