  • People who ever listened live Cziffra playing is should be very grateful and proud.

  • Awesome, but this actually isn't a transcription. I can't remember who, but this was arranged by someone other than Schubert for solo piano. Originally it was part of a series of three military marches for 1 piano 4 hands, but then someone else changed it to Db major and arranged it for solo piano. It does sound like Cziffra improvised a lot to make it more difficult though... just though I would let you know.

  • Cziffra on the other hand was a freaking maniac of piano virtousity.

  • Schubert was a homosexual. I don't like his music, not because of that. Most of the stuff he writes goes somewhere and than back to nowhere. I do like Mend. He is great.

  • @30inventionman

    Putin is a pedophile. I don't like his politics, not because of that. Haha, thanks!

  • Once upon a time I played this song, too.

  • This is just so AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • After hearing this... I'm sure of these things.

    1) People are right he IS NOT a human.

    2) Cziffra is much better than Horowitz

    3) And lastly , hes the most amazing virtuoso. Those who got to hear him play live on stage.. are in fact very lucky!!

  • @ClassicMusicOnly Do you play piano? Are you a professional musician? Hope you are, unless your "Cziffra is much better than Horowitz" is the speech of an idiot. its like comparing your mother and your father.

  • Comment removed

  • Splendid!

  • I think, this is the best performance of this piece!

  • superb ...

  • very good!

  • I like this more than the Horowitz one! It's much sharper.

  • Damn right he is good, He is one of the few people to play this song solo without making a serious mistake.

  • It's not a song! No singing involved here, thus no song.

  • Sometimes you find people here who even name a symphony a "song"...

  • @akschrott leider ohne verte, chanson sans parole, songs without words... Think Mendelssohn!

  • Very good!!!

  • fantastic as always.....great job, cziffra!

  • Magnificent, outstanding, simply brilliant.

  • I've played this. It is Tausig's version. I even have an Etude magazine from 1926 with a measure by measure explanation how it was expected to be played (by Mark Hambourg). It includes a little vignette on Schubert, and the notes with Hambourg's annotations printed on them. It may sound like 2 pianos, but it isn't...pedaling has to be absolutely precise, or it ends up being a muddy piano-pounding.

  • gracias muy buena interpretación de Cziffra se esperaba de este gran genio.

  • I like this perform.

    Kissin's play too.

  • demidenko est encore mieux
