This is the most fun piece I've ever played. It's not actually really challenging, but it sounds amazing even if you play it sloppily. This guy played it way better than I could have, though :) My only comment would be that I think those last eight chords should be played a little faster.

He took too many liberties with the rhythms, there are several points where they are not played as they're written. I also think that the middle section could've been played slower, it should have a completely different, more emotional character than the mechanical beginning. I find that it's an instinct to play this piece quickly as well. Sometimes, as pianists, we get caught up in speed and technique, that we forsake color and contrast. He played powerfully, but this piece has more to offer.

Fastest and most "contemporarily" played version of this piece I've heard so far. Also the best!

I should really try to learn this song again. It's actually not THAT hard. It is fun and colorful!

Great skill! So much better than I could ever play it - and I do, badly.I thought it was a tad fast though and you could use more expression. Overall, fantastic.

@CJBrewification So it's not just me! Thank christ, I thought I was just playing it badly but I could definitely remember I used to be able to.

@lovetohate12 Yeah, and might wear out the action a bit... :-) Especially after you've been playing it for like 6 months cause it's your favourite piece ;-D
Always a delight to listen music composed by the armenian genius, Aram Khachaturian.
Congratulations for interpretation, Allan.
Happy New Year!

Warning. This piece really screws up the B-flat above middle C on your piano.
