Imitate and improvise on everything you can find. Try Oscar Peterson and before you get bored with him, check him out thoroughly. He did a very, very long, broad, varied and amazing series of genres, all "Oscar Peterson" style. Most critics did not like him much. Too "note-y" But I tell you, if you listen in carefully to Oscar Peterson, as compared to Cziffra, what you will begin to understand is that there are two different "brilliant minds" at work. CONTROL is the common denominator.
It is not necessary to "mock" Cziffra. Cziffra had a meaning to his playing which means that he had a reason to play like that. You my friend, do not know that reason, and it is very downright to mock the grand Maestro without having knowledge of why he did that. Maybe it was just his style, but you should develop your own style of playing. Thank you
thats how i would play it >> heck i guess my interpretations are similiar to what he would play. anyway, to your performance it was a very good performance, even for your age, i still see a very simple yet set structure of playing for you. think of your pianist talent as a stronghold of processes. be lucky god made you boy!
Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this #19? Impressive playing at such a young age, I wouldn't be suprised if in a few years I see your name on the performance list of the Kennedy Center.
Actually, you're wrong. In Hungarian, "cz" is the old version of "c" (it is used in some names). And "c" is pronounced "ds", so you speak "Dsiffra" or "Dsiffro" (because "a" is pronounced darker).
Im sorry, I dont know what source you are getting this information, but that would not comply with the ugric codex, it would be like that if it were "Sz", like "Szoke" [D'Zokay] . The language is much changed, time and place are two deciding variablesvon how things are said... the fact he and his family spent alot in france and other countries in his early youth has an impact on the way he and others around him pronounced hi name...
cz = chdz , the hard anglo at the of "cziffra's crazy improv"'s is pronunciation is closer to correct than you guys saying: "Sifruh" or "d'zeefruh" I have been in Gyor for a year now, and I must say your righteousness on the language is diluded,
even if you are totally correct by a textbook's accent, ou cannot deny the fact that THERE ARE dialects,either way Im done arguing my point, it is a very complex language and I get the feeling you are speculating, painting the entire language with one brush...y
Well done Josiah. cziffra plays some short encore style pieces on a recording entitled 'Pages Immortelles' or Immortal Pages - Beethoven's Fur Elise, Grieg's Papillon, Mendelssohn's Spring Song, Debussy's Clair de lune plus some Chopin pieces etc.

I know the Hungarian language and "cz" is definitely pronounced "ts" and "sz" like "ss".
