OH MY GOD! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!

[CziffraTheThird]

who is the composer?

[tomekkobialka]

@CziffraTheThird

1. Look at the video info (many people fail at this point)

2. Look to the right.

3. Look at the two quavers; to the right it says: Buy "Valse Triste (VECSEY)"

4. Realise that the composer is Vecsey.

OR, on the first page of the video (not the title, the one after that), you can see in the upper right-hand corner: F. Vecsey - G. Cziffra.

Problem solved! ;)

@tomekkobialka Cziffra was on his own - but what a place to be!

[tomekkobialka]

@Jim0734 What do you mean; where was Cziffra on his own?

[1emanres]

Cziffra was held back from achieving his complete talent, by the pressures of concert touring. He had to practice with a silent piano to keep his hands strong, and that took up most of his time that otherwise he could have spent, like Lizst, improvising sweet original stuff. Cziffra's improvisations were those of an athlete not a musician. I'm surprised I can't find him on the youtube playing circus gallop. He would have done it mighty fine.

[Laudan08]

You can stop MR CZIFFRA!

His exaggerations, his extreme technique, all that he writes in the score is so exaggerated, it's the reason there's only one idiot who disliked it.

Mesure 27, il joue le ré bécarre, erreur sur la partition? :)

[tingetbanusa]

Sounds a little as though sibelius' valse triste had been rewritten by a psychopat, imo...

[addeex1]

@tingetbanusa I think someone is envious

[tingetbanusa]

@addeex1 Envious? What do you mean? I was just saying I find this kind of interpretation a little bit creepy. But never mind...

[tomekkobialka]

It's a piece by Vecsey.

Cziffra was a very good pianist

Now, it's a star

[looney1023]

I swear at the beginning i was like "oh wow a song he did that i might wanna play" and then it hit me that i only have so long until he goes all cziffra on me! got me totally by surprise

[richclayderman]

stupid little notes of yours...

[refaful]

[tomekkobialka]

27/03/2010 - Wow, 54 ratings and the average rating is 5.00! This piece really IS good!

[Jim341046]

@tomekkobialka Love you're comments in this piece - made me laugh. Do you know what those dotted lines mean in bar 4 at about 1.12 - it's not a glissando surely?

[tomekkobialka]

@Jim341046 It's meant to show that the melody is shared between the two hands.

[Jim341046]

@tomekkobialka - Cziffra is like a musically genre in it's own right. I can't believe how fast he plays those different alternate chords at about 1.28-1.29. Do you think he's the best pianist 'technically' who ever lived? That's what I've been telling people and nobody has been able to disagree.

[aardvaark069]

1:28-1:30. How did he do that? Crazy, over-the-top, uncalled for Fabulosity!!!!!!

[Jim341046]

@aardvaark069 I didn't see your comment but I just wrote the same thing. I couldn't nearly that fast even if the notes were the same...

[chutdigadut]

ya, that's Cziffra alright

[Starbirdy9999]

So beautiful! It's as beautiful as Mendelssohn's Lost Illusions!

[Reaper978]

This is one of the most godly performances ever recorded.

[spike2133876]

i love the main theme in the beging. the most. sounds like a russian romance. you russian classics know what im talking about!

[spike2133876]

where can i get the sheet music to this? please exact link

[girgiii]

I've listened to this more than 50 times and I can never stop enjoying it :) It's wonderful

[piano345]

Just teasing of course! Often he sounds like he has more digits than normal!

[piano345]

Cziffra with heart on sleeve! Fantastic. I can just imagine him hypnotising his Budapest bar audience - a pianist with twenty fingers!

[HandyTheXxxX]

I'm constantly revisiting this. Amazing.

[yzhu81]

Yay Cziffra!

[GavMasterD]

Okay, WTF! Was Cziffra on speed or something o_O

[vincecharus]

nice!

[shubus]

Breathtaking!

Can you hear it? It's the sound of the new Cziffra Box CD set calling. They got MY NUMBER.

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

I love this piece.

I love Cziffra.
