agreed!!

I like it too. But - probably in common with a lot of other pianists - I've never made very serious attempts to learn it because it's offputtingly long and difficult. Rather listen to someone else....

Agreed. It's too much difficult for me to learn, and I would rather learn something like Gaspard de la nuit first because I like it better, even if it is harder.

Not true. I like this piece very much. Some great pianist did as well...

Let see... Young Gilels made incredible recording of the piece... Pletnev recorded it as well... Young Berman did the recording... What a treat...
