Hopak by Mussorgsky

Anyone know what the catchy little dance tune is that he plays near the start of the video accompanied by piano? BTW how many violinists of any age cold play like the 82-year old Milstein? He doesnt need patronising.

There must be more to this. I hope that allegrofilms will post it--but, perhaps, they want us to buy the privilege?

Interesting comment. See Landowska's reference to harpsichordists sprouting likw mushrooms.

Thank you for posting. This is classic stuff. His hands are so relaxed and the music has such vitality and character! Not at all like the empty scratching one is used to hearing these days.
