Andy Feldbau Plays Wild / Gershwin Virtuoso Etude: "The Man I Love"

[cashkenazipiano]

The melody is supposed to be a lush, silky singing voice- at the beginning, you play it too quickly to make any sense. Otherwise there is a very nice tone and balance of the voices.

beautifuly played!bravo!

Yes, Bravo! Bravo indeed! The late Earl Wild numbered among the very first rank of piano virtuosi ever. His "Gershwin Etudes" are a lasting contribution to the piano repertoire. This Third Etude was originally written for left hand alone in 1954; Mr. Wild kindly added the right hand in 1970's. I've always 'enjoyed' left hand alone until bar 9 with this in mind. Also, isn’t that 4 octaves of E♭ with the trill on E♭'''' indicated at the end?

Great interpretation. I like it better than Earl Wild's own recording of it!

[pistachio1987]

Wow! He knows he's good too! :-)

I've listened to so many renderings of this piece, but this one is my favourite. Earl, eat your heart out!
