Horowitz plays Chopin Polonaise Op. 53 in A flat major

Thanks, Genius, my love, my musik, my sound, oh! love, love Polska!

Thank you YouTube for making the beauty of this piece available to those of us who could experience the joy, the virtuosity, the power, the emotion, the hand movements over that magnificent instrument in no other way.

There he is, one of the best pianists of the 20th century in many people's opinions, playing this difficult piece (yes, even the left hand octaves) with virtue, emotion, precision and power like no other 80-something person can. And now look at his face right when he's done (6:59)... absolutely priceless! He makes me believe that there might still be something good to human nature.

好！wonderful!

and my girlfriend still does not understand why i bought a b-211 steinway piano instead of a car :-D
horowitz, the one and only!!!

yet can any of them play this better than he does here when they are 84 years old?

Well, you do have a point there, Liebromeistal. But if this piece is too much for him at his age, should he be up there playing it in front of a huge audience in the first place?

Most of the people don't really care too much about a few dropped notes...

ამ კაცის თითებიდან მუსიკა იღვრება, ღვთიურად უკრავს.

Horowitz, the best piano player ever!
It's a pity that he don't live anymore :'(
