@JadaLoveEmo It was common at that time to rewrite compositions…not to make them harder to play…but to add own ideas, options and interpretations. I think Albeniz would have loved this version ^o^

This is the late, great, Shura Cherkassky, who lived in London for over 30 years until his death in 1995 (he lived at the White House Hotel, just a few hundred yards from where I work. I'd guess this was an encore. Beautiful piece, sensitively played. I wonder why there are so many pianos on stage....?!

This looks like the concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London in the mid 1970s in aid of the International Piano Library. I was at this concert and remember it very well! Please could you tell me where I can get the complete video as I want to see that hysterically funny sketch with Gina Bachauer, Alicia de Larrocha and Garrick Ohlssohn.

Amazing improvisation. Gorgeous! This piece is actually difficult to play well. It is rather funny that it's in so many student piano books. But I've yet to hear a student play it really well. ;)

I would recommend that if you were trying to teach someone of respect, you learn it yourself first. And correct your English. You would claim others ruin a man, but you ruin a language.
The arrangement is by Godowsky. The pianist is Shura Cherkassky.
