La Campanella
on: October 02, 2015, 11:49:32 AM

You might be playing the Busoni version. It has octaves at the beginning instead of leaps.

Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini

Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity.
