Cziffra's "Il Trovatore" Paraphrase Audio + Sheet Music

[hswatnik]

great fun & funky too!

[steinwaygrande1]

This transcription cant be bought - have searched the net. what I did was to go full screen on the monitor and photo each page. Download the photos to the computer and reformat into A4 size and printed it out. Now I can play this - but not and never like Czifrra can, but for my own enjoyment. . Used a Canon digital camera

@steinwaygrande1 You could've just downloaded the score from my channel info...

[steinwaygrande1]

@tomekkobialka Please tell me where to down load the score as my photographic method didnt come out as good as I had hoped. I will master this, but it will never ever be as good as Cziffra`s version. I`ll leave out the really hard part , improvise my way through the difficult parts and cotinue with the easy parts

[steinwaygrande1]

@tomekkobialka I have just downloaded this from your channel. Thanks very much. Have had a go but there are some difficult parts which will need a lot of time and practice to master, but NEVER at Cziffra frenetic pace in places.

Monster!

[Jim341046]

This might be Cziffra's most outrageous transcription. I think even Liszt would struggle with this score.

[0530pianist]

Best easy of Cziffra's?

There are no words...

[Pianego]

Fantastic music

[Keytaster]

not my cup of tea... a tad too much showing off

[cygnusne]

@Keytaster

How would YOU play it and make it so that it sounds less showy?

Have you ever played the piano? If you did you would know that what sounds like show to some is "maestria" to others..... But.... it takes work and Tons of Talent !!

[aardvaark069]

Now THAT's complete gratuosity. Ab-Fab! Cziffra forever!!!!!

[felix0911176727]

1:30 is awesome!!

[titusbeertsen]

7:15 remeniscent of Debussy's "Les jardins sous la pluie"?

[SordidGuy]

Okay - I consider myself pretty accomplished as a pianist, BUT THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!! KUDOS for the performance and ESPECIALLY for the posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[vincecharus]

BRAVO!!!!!!!

[piano345]

Cziffra makes his transcritption sound easy but when you see the score you realise how difficult it is to play. I believe his other transcriptions are in two books and available from the Fondation Cziffra. Pity about the 'honky-tonk' sounding piano but then Cziffra earned his living in Budapest piano bars during the war years before he escaped to France.

[kage1369]

I hate cziffra for his wanabe imitations of the classical universe. I hate him for his shredding interpretations, for his everlasting coldness in playing, and for his showoff attitude in playing and composing.

Maybe this would help you love Cziffra like we do:

[regiear1991]

Wait, you criticize Cziffra his playing yet you listen to and watch Lang-Lang? You know, Liszt was probably the same (and most likely more intense).

[kage1369]

we have no recordings of liszt himself, and with criticizing lang lang, you just repeat telling what everybody does. repeating because they don't know a shit about, and they don't like some less common behaviour in classic.

[regiear1991]

So you assume that I am criticizing Lang Lang just for referencing his name? Wrong right there. And what's with this "Don't know a shit about business?" Is this some sort of high school slap fight? I think this video is just for you, my friend: watch?v=gzYgCdi9PjA

Freak Oo

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

I love this arrangement! I love Cziffra!

[VikingBerserker]

Do you know how long I have been looking for the score for this??

MONTHS!

It was the one score that has alluded my "collection". For a few weeks I dedicated hours to searching, but I could never find it.

Please tell me where you found this.

Thanks.

[tomekkobialka]

I can't tell you where I got the sheet music; that remains a secret! However, I can lend you the PDF, as it can't be brought (it was transcribed experimentally by a group of Germans in 2000). Just give me your email address and I'll give you the file guaranteed. (same applies to everyone else)

[Pianego]

@tomekkobialka Could you send me the score of this music?? My email address is 95phm@hanmail.net...Thank you for introducing good musics^^

[Starbirdy9999]

@VikingBerserker I know in a Hungarian music store called Rózsavölgyi in Budapest there is (or at least was ) a big book of Cziffra's transcriptions. It had many, and one in there was his Tritsch-Tratsch Polka transcription. I don't know if this one was in there though, because I just took a quick look at it.

[Starbirdy9999]

@Starbirdy9999 It may be a book mentioned by another user published by the Cziffra foundation. I'm not absolutely sure, though.

[cziffra1988]

You probably get this a lot, but is there any way to get the sheet music either in .pdf or Finale format? So far, I only know of a version of it in Sibelius, but unfortunately I don't have that myself. If not, no big deal. I still appreciate you putting it up here because, as my name implies, I am quite fond of Cziffra's work, and it's amazing that someone took the time to write this out so nicely. If I had the music I would undoubtedly learn it myself.

[felix0911176727]

Thank you!! I almost cry after watching this! How did you get this fantastic work?

[framaulo]

That's supernatural
