Tom Johnson - An Hour For Piano - 00:00-10:00 (Andy Lee on Piano)

It would be excellent if you could upload the whole thing. I saw this performed about a year ago and thought it was really neat. Wouldn't be the same listening to it online, but it would still be nice to have.

@odjn I've uploaded a complete recording by Frederic Rzewski. It's faster and (in my option) much better than this one.

@madlovba2 You are right - it IS better than this performance. Although I wonder, how can it be faster and yet stick with the 60 minutes restriction?

[madlovba2]

@inlandempires I'm glad you've liked my upload, it's really quite a piece! And answer is easy: Rzewski doesn't stick with the 60 minutes restriction; he plays it in 54 minutes 32 seconds. It's faster than the composer wanted, but it's also very very effective and makes the piece much better.

@madlovba2 One more question: how did you manage to upload clips that are about 14 minutes in length? YouTube refuses to upload my vids if they are longer than 10 minutes....

[madlovba2]

@inlandempires It refusED in past; now uploads are allowed up to 15 mins and 2GBs (for all users I think).

@inlandempires I've heard it again - I'm not so sure this time....
