the clip is not fast forwarded fck heads. ur all dumb shits. richter is a legend. i wonder why he is... he is obviously famous for some reason. he's like the greatest pianist of this century.
This clip was NOT sped up. Ignoramuses who claim otherwise don't even know that Richter is widely regarded as one of the greatest, if not THE greatest pianist of the 20th century. And right up there with Cziffra when it comes to finger speed. In fact, Richter said in his biography that he once asked his sound engineer whether a particular recording was speeded up because it was inhumanly fast, and that guy said NO!
It's fast forwarded. To see genuine real time pianism, try Gallop Chromatique Liszt played by Cziffra or Polonaise#2 Liszt played by Cziffra. Those are genuine. Even the Chopin Polonaise op53 played by Cziffra if only for the really unbelievable left hand octaves. No one needs to speed up Cziffra recordings for any reason.
Was he sniffing crack before this? lol

It's hardly impossible... The speed...

Sorry to say it, but this speed is practically impossible. The piece at a reasonable speed alone is a colossus of difficulty.
