Now I believe that Andre is a grave digger where do you get these recordings from!!!:D

[truecrypt]

I just stumbled upon this one while digging! ;)

I am using Carl Czerny for my own study. I have his opus 261 and also 453 which are both excellent... Is there any others about the same sort of standard( I guess begginner to intermediate) ? Or what comes next? school of velocity or dexterity?

[truecrypt]

I recall the most "used" opuses were 299 and 740 - both are etudes. Probably 299 will work well for you.

Years of sound editing tells me that this file was edited in a kind of noise reduction system or plugin...

Sorry if you understand that I think that YOU did that. My english is not good enough to explaine in adequate terms. Trust me- i know it was edited. Play it in some frequency analyzer and you'll see that there are no higher frequencies... and lower are (sorry, my english) something like cuted- not origin.

I had that recording and it was full of clics and cracks but all freq. were there.

[truecrypt]

Oh.. I see.

Though I can't judge much in this respect, it's well known many Horowitz's recordings were *heavily* edited and/or assembled. I personally developed some kind of mental sound filter which allows me to listen beyond recording's imperfections.

Czerny deserves more recognition, he is certainly not the greatest composer but pretty good.

[tHEnOOSEsWING]

This is an irresistible passionate piece played by a master. Thank you TC.

What a magician Horowitz was! His wizardry crosses even the barriers of cyberspace!

Thanks so much.

Great post! Only the magic of VH can make me actually appreciate Czerny (my bad!). What year was this recorded in?

[Noshirm]

@truecrypt I read that von Bulow told a student at a lesson that a pianist should be the opposite of a gravedigger...as it was his/her job to bring to light that which was buried and hidden in the music - and this is what our truecrypt does so admirably - as exemplified by his recent, marvelous performances of Scriabin and Chopin! (:-o)

SCREAMMMMMMMMMMM WOW he plays this piece around. so amazing.

[dukedome]

PUTZ! Amazing!!!!!!!!!

[owatson322utube]

Great! Is this available on CD truecrypt?

[glasnevin2009]

Truely magical!!

Thanks for this posting.

I guess his pedagogical music reflects Beethovens ideas about modern pianio technique. Czerny deserves every kind of praise for his studies. They are "gold", and shows a genuine pedagogical talent.

[metteholm75]

Yes, Horowitz can present i as that pretty, rather sweet biedermayer hausmusik, it is. Cosy biedermayer :-)

Horowitz always puts me on a different planet when I listen to him. He was so special and unique.
