Erwin Schulhoff was excellent piano player and compositor. He was one of the first in include jazz with "classical" music. One of the most moderns and open mind musician from central europe.

@OrangeSodaKing it's not a very accessible piece, quite at the front of its times, and i find it interesting, but to be honest i'm not knowlegdable enough of this kind of 20th century music to appreciate it. still, i listened to it with an open mind and i'm pretty sure that your interpretation is more than solid, kaki, well played!

Nobody has commented yet? Nice playing! I like your choice of repertoire, and I'm not talking about just Alkan.
