Georges Cziffra Plays Liszt's Polonaise No.2 in E Major

[WolfgangEllenberger]

@mariano37551 yes, I know this recording and respect it very much.

[mariano37551]

Wolgang.... I feel really sorry about the piano. I think you forgot about working the piece's musicality, sound. With all respect, you have to work very hard and not hit the instrument. By the way, you're playing a wrong part. Before you come back to the main theme (final) those 6 thirds going down are a lower octave, not the same height as the first part before that. Keep working at it and check out Cziffra's version. A hug!

@mariano37551 that ist the intellectual aspect, I don´t mind some different musicological opinions. But let us recognise the sonority of the sound and be aware of the situation: I just stepped in the practising room to check for an orchestra rehearsal, spontaneously took the camera out of the pocket and made one unique shot without practising the piece for months. just wanted to let you know.

What counts for me in this context is nothing but having FUN.

@WolfgangEllenberger First of all, thanks for your answer. If you have fun and feel comfortable doing this, I think it's excellent. Each one has a certain level. It's always good to try to become better in each thing that we do in our lives. A hug from Argentina!
