I will play it in public again soon (learned it in 2012)

Magnificent! Bravo! 

You lose points for the "Bachbuz", though; and I don't even pretend to understand "true (FO DA ZEPP)"

Da Zepp is the online alter-ego if a friend of mine. Bachbuz is Newspeak for Bach-Busoni

Very fine playing. I often find performances of this work to be somewhat tasteless, with too much 'rubato' and pedal.

Your performance avoided these common pitfalls. Instead you showed us a wonderful ability to understand and maintain the rhythm throughout. There was also some beautiful voicing.

I think dasdc is a bit like Elvis and Osama. Some people seem to still think it's alive, but it has actually been as dead as a door-nail for quite some time. 

Thank you for this epic contribution!

hehe, I am glad that this is a hit

Actually, I've been criticized for playing this with a big sound and bombastic style. I think Busoni had an organ sonority in mind, it shouldn't be tamed!
