This is the best version on youtube. Great visual presentation, great audio quality, great performance, and the pianists were clearly having a wonderful time. I'm surprised I never heard of this before, sorta reminds me of The Dead Moth Tango.
Many other versions have great playing but suffer from terrible audio,
The 1950s-1970s have gifted us unforgettably weird piano techniques. Shadow and obscure composers on the second half of XX have tried everything to stay in history. John Cage's 4'33" is still hated by the whole Russian school of pianism. Its tutors say, 'the only thing remaining for those abundant composers was to invent on-the-stage keyboard drilling by a perforator'.
Surely, tutors are exaggerating. Still, there are worthy pieces, but they are indended for a wider audience.
Very well played. The only disappointing thing was when that last melody line before the finish wasn't whistled. It's supposed to be whistled! Oh well.
Love this piece... Fare more impressive played by 1 person.

Molto bello il pezzo. L' esecuzione era secondo me un po' moscia.
Avrei preferito più energia. Inoltre i tacchi non fanno sentire i colpi con i piedi.
Per suonare potevano anche usare scarpe più adatte.
