Johann Strauss - Gyorgy Cziffra Tritsch-Tratsch Polka - PASQUALE IANNONE

[XPKpianist]

Amazing, did it take you long to practice it? Especially the leaps in the left hand near the end.

I love this recording so much that I have filtered it from this destructive buzz in Audition CS5.5, and was much surprised to find that beloved grunting at 1:45. I couldn’t help smiling. Thank you for this recording!

simply amazing!

if it werent for yuna kim i wouldve never found out about this incredible piece of music! i saw this from the very first mvt. through this one.

Your technique isn't enough to play this...

[piano345]

A brave performance - very demanding technically as with all Cziffra's virtuoso transcriptions. Perhaps Cziffra himself plays the piece with more energy and fearless abandon but then his is a studio recording and not as an encore in a 'live' concert.

dire bravo è mooooolto poco; dire assurdo anche! non ci sono parole x descrivere questo pezzo ma sopratutto l'impressionante bravura del mio maestroooooo!!! davvero complimenti!!! inviterei chi guarda a non vedere le mani del maestro (tanto non si riescono mennemo a seguire) ma a vedere le espressioni dei muscisti nell'orchestra dietro di lui!! pazzesco!!

great job!! :) i have a question for u, although i think this is not related to this video. do you play worse than usual when they wear tuxedo?? because i think that may limit the movement of people's wrists

[shaylen911]

no buzzing would've been nice haha

but superb technique. of course there were mistakes, but they're completely overridden by the great skill that you have. not many people in this world can play Cziffra's transcription as accurately as you have. bravo!

wow excellent job on that monster of a piece! i have never heard anyone play this better - this rivals the recording by cziffra himself!

Try Yuja Wang...

Lot of buzz on the recording, sadly.  But he did a great job on the interpretation, despite whatever issues I might have with his technique.

It's hard to get any dynamic variation in this piece, because most people are usually struggling to hang on for dear life to such a big handful of notes.

I still think the Konstantin Scherbakov performance is my favorite, but this is quite impressive.

10*****!!!!!

[oregamienainokasugu]

It so difficult!!!!!

[reaperman2004]

Christ that must be a bugger to play. I envy you Pasquale - I still have quite a few years before I'm up to that level.

But god I love seeing you play and if you ever get to replay the Moszkowski - would love to see it... the other one is badly out of synch and it's one of my favourite concertos of all time.

Well done - piece looks like a tormentful devil. Especially the last 30 seconds.
