Horowitz plays Schubert´s Military March in D flat major

[michrousos]

Excellent..

[audiomagman]

FANTASTIC!!! I would like to know when was it recorded, because there is also another truly unbelievable Horowitz recording of this piece from the 1980s for Deutsch Grammophon.

[SalHernor]

I love the Horowitz quality of making whatever he wanted with the voices. No one like him for this: sometimes he makes the bass sooo deeply, sometimes a voice goes far, far away, sometimes a voice came next to us , sometimes the bass appears from "the nothing" but always with logic and personality, sometimes all this at the same time...I really wish the next generations of pianist will understand the genius of Horowitz using his virtuosity in the service of music and not vice versa :)

[ClassicalMusicPL]

One of few pianists who actually knows what the idea of military march is. It's usually played much too fast.

[y2000sh]

Oh my God.....

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

How could one NOT like the power of Horowitz and the massive chords he could make?

[Flutist11]

Is the key of this work really in D flat major??? I'm doing a 4-handed version with another person, and it's in D major (no sign of being arranged by anyone else).

[cfwpiano]

@Flutist11 Yeah, its a transcription of Schubert's original by Tausig.

[MrGluki]

wwwooooaaaawww!!!!!!!!

[liberaTV]

answere me ! .. :)

[MrPikachu888]

just perfect!!!

[XavifromSeville]

BEST EVER!!!

[nbharakey]

What a control!

I must admit i like this even if i dont like Horowitz!

[GermanoDeppe]

Just perfect...

[demosj]

Horowitz was supposed to give a four-hands recital of Schubert with Serkin, but it never happened. I wonder whether they would have played the four-hand arrangement.

[vivacelife]

wow Horowitz must really like explosion!

[BrolicD]

It's the Carl Tausig transcription

[sadbaaa]

it is schubert-tausig-horowitz transpription

[lkmusicman2]

Who has heard this piece played by Evengeny Kissin?

[NordicHealer]

Wonderful version of this piece. I wonder when he recorded this? Sounds llke one of his later recordings. His Piano sounds really good here, with an exceptional tuning, which isn't always the case..

[kindin10]

Did he play the original notes?

[RWoosten]

That's nearly impossible since this is originally is a duet. Anyway, even if he could, this is definitily not the original, I don't know how well you know this piece, but from like 2:10 he's adding a lot of ornaments, like he's making his own variations. You could listen to some other videos of it being played with two people and compare. Maybe the original is boring compared to this... I like them both though.

[Alexias030692]

Absolutely breath-taking.

[lkmusicman2]

exactly. At least this is better than the other clown (LangLang)

[jefftam1234]

Thank you for saying that... We don't hear that enough nowadays....

LL should play in a zoo, which is where he belongs in.

[ZhengStudios]

if you call lang lang a clown, then you're better off in the zoo yourself.

[MagicDonDino]

Wow! It' s a true Horowitz version of this march. I think that this piece was originally for 4 hands but i'm not completely sure.This a Horowitz's trascription?

[Achtelnote]

carl taussig transcription.

[loveebara]

This is four handed, I've heard the arrangement on a record with only four hands pieces

[weetabixharry]

Yea Horowitz actually had four hands. He's only the second person ever recorded to have four hands.

He's not particularly animated in this performance, but, if you watch extremely carefully, you can see his four hands raise up during the louder sections.

[eddopianist1]

haha lol ;)

[77orchidjim]

@weetabixharry

LMFAO !!!!!!

[pianolasociety]

this is most definately 2-handed music! It is not the Schubert original but the Carl Tausig virtuoso arrangement of the piece.

[katchkiani]

It's not impossible, I have the music for two hands on this piece as well. Besides, with Horowitz, nothing was impossible to play :)

[jonasrla]

Impossible! It's a four handed music!

[OkitaJuuzou]

wanderful!!!!!
