This is an incredible live performance. Remember there are no decent recording resonance as this is live from 1953. It was Horowitz at his very best. I have never heard anyone play this so incredibly. Toscanini said Horowitz was the greatest pianist. He was right !!!!

Lang Lang plays it as ... (?), I think Horowitz has something here, but I disagree with the speed of the Lassan section, though most of the recordings I've heard seem too fast to me.

This piece is known as the next hardest piece in the world.... The hardest one is '' Opus Clavicembalisticum '' : ) Only the maker of that song could play it perfectly ^^

the hardest piece is actually grand cirus galop because no normal human beings will EVER have the capability to play it

Recorded in 1953....so much tragedy as it was written in the play as well.

That's a really arbitrary question. Each Transcendental Etude focuses on something different. The skills required in advanced music aren't like in intermediate level music where they just stack basic skills on top of each other. An etude usually focuses intensely on a few things, whereas this is more diverse. Difficulty here lies in overall technique and interpretation. Not really one one thing. They're just as hard, but in much different ways.
