  • Godowsky was studying Chopin's etude when he realized it can be played much more efficiently, using only your left hand, leaving the other hand free to hold your ice cream.

  • VERY clever photo-cropping, apparently fooling everyone but me. This piece, written for THREE hands, was photo-redacted to look like TWO of Hamelin's hands were out-of-play. (I figured it out by myself)

  • Well, Hamelin is a great technician, but his interpretations are always a little uninspired in my opinion. Great guy though --- very down to earth.

  • ulala

  • Quite possibly the greatest technician since Godowsky? Or is he even better?

  • Marc-André, s'il te plaît, stop playing so darn darn well, so breathtakingly virtuistically fantasmagorically well that it makes us all look like darn dummies stomping on the white and black keys...at least that's how I feel...back to my lessons...I need to change professions...I should've taken the trombone instead, damn it!

  • Cuántos dedos tiene en la mano izquierda???

  • Good balance between melody and accompaniment.

  • Yeah, if you look at a picture of one of his library, it will blow your mind. He has a tremendous ability to absorb material very quickly. On a DVD I have of him, he site reads a classical sonata (mozart I think) and plays it like it's performance ready.

  • He sights reads like other people read newspapers, the wretch. He's goddamn Hamelin.

  • Hamlin just comes up a winner every time. So versatile and perfect. Real talent

  • Je proposerais à Godowsky de transcrire Mozart pour le music hall,-ainsi le ridicule de sa renommée serait complet.
