As usual, Horowitz transcends the whole issue of who can play the fastest and the loudest. His is neither, but is the single most terrifying (in the literal sense of the word) interpretation I know of. And isn't that what this piece is about? Listen to the contrasts between loud and soft, the sforzandos, the subito pianos, the variety in pedal and articulation. Now THAT is astonishing--far more than playing it in 1:39, for example. :)

I tried to learn this piece but I didn't come any where near being good enough to post it online, let alone to the standard of Horowitz. His ability to articulate and play the dynamics (i.e. to pay attention to emotion) in such a technically challenging piece is truly creative and skillful.

What is so interestning by listening to Horowitch is his fingers, which is always totally flat, never bended a bit. This makes him weaker physicly, but he boulded up the raw power, needed to play chopin! Ask czzifra
