(part 6).. Now, I wish to quote Marcel Dupré who heard you play this piece, himself a student of Vidor who himself heard Liszt! So, he has a little tradition in him. He wrote into this letter "Cziffra, is Liszt. Because Cziffra is Busoni (Italian composer), and Busoni, was Liszt.

Realise Cziffra is not French so his sentences were less than perfect. I paraphrased a lot due to space but you get the idea. Basically, he's the greatest. I should have simply written that! Enjoy.

(part5)..Let's talk about Chopin and Liszt. You studied young at the Liszt Acadamy in Budapest, is there a suriving tradition of Liszt? Yes, still, but only as tradition.. thanks to the former professors (those of Liszt directly who are now dead) whereas only the 'cult' of Liszt remains (incorrect sentence, hard to comprehend). !. Q. The spirit and soul remains (as you said so well, the cult). Dear friend, we shall hear you play 3 Liszt pieces, starting with 'La Ronde des Lutins'.. (cont.)..

(part4)...I'm a little nervous as a result. Q. When you prepare a recital, do you work a lot? Yes, if I can prepare, I'd spend 8-10 hours, even today. Q..blabla.. a lady (who admires you/you know) said "it's a veritable art". Are you nervous of performing in front of audiences who have such an opinion? Yes, yes. As I said, I'm quite nervous guy so I feel something before such concerts. Q. ..blabla said "The stage is a genuine artists honour"..It's very nice, hard to experience tho.(cont..)

(part 3)... (Q. You mean you forgot it...blabla... (nothing interesting)..(cont...). Q. Have you had this technique all your life? Yes but don't forget I worked a lot (on this 'legacy'). Q. People ask me: how many hours does Cziffra practice and is itevery day? After turning 40, (not clear)..meaning, 2 or 3 years before, I worked much more than now; exactly for this reason because I'm sometimes tired after a life of miseray and pain (before arriving in France) so I think it's reasonable.(cont)

(part 2)... peace after the Hungarian revolution when I arrived here in France. But I chose the French (people). (Guy sees it's not a question worthwhile answering in depth. Next Q. With French or foreign audiences, are you aware of having this powerful technique that you recognised very early on?) I don't think it's only the 'word', a technique I posses - I was born with a (mental) flexibility, that's all. As a technique, I think it has disappeared, as it must.. (cont...)

Translation provided by me (Professional) over a few posts. Thumb them up so people can see. Guy asks how he judges his public. Begins at 0.48: To my mind, the audiences are the same everywhere. Of course, sometimes things don't go so well but usually it's fine. If the audience tell me (through various means) we judge you in a good light, and I agree because audiences are always right. (Q. What do you think of the French public?). I've one thing to say: I had lots of chances to choose *cont..)

@FSXreality Thank you! Unfortunately youtube only allows up the top two thumbed-up comments whereas your translation spans 6. Maybe the uploader would be kind enough to put your translation in the description. Thank you again!
