The limits of Cziffra

Hypothetically, if Cziffra attempted to play Alkan's Op. 39-1 Étude, Comme Le Vent twice as fast, do you think he could do it?

No, but he'd do better than almost anyone else could.

No, he couldn't do it, not least because I'm pretty sure it would exceed the fundamental repetition speed of even the best modern piano.
