great pianist!

Unfortunately, Barere makes too many flaws in this recording. I've played the piece myself - not with much better result, it's difficult - but it is very good music.
-
Thank you for that, @pianopera .
-
@Quuee7n Well, he didnt ask if this was related to Paul Wittgenstein (who's brother inspired so much). He did ask though if there was a similar motive like a dedication, rather than pure boredom and exuberance as an instrumentalist.
-
No one who lived into the time of recording can compete with Barere.
Both Barere and Horowitz studied with Blumenfeld.
Horowitz dropped this piece from his repertoire after hearing Barere play it.
-
No, this etude wasn't connected with Paul Witgenstein. It is dedicated to Leopold Godowsky.
-
That's right. Many pianists couldn't play this even by two hands :-))
-
As an amateur classical pianist and stay-at-home dad who enjoys the Simon Barere anthology on CD every so often, I got the sheet music to this and started practicing it while I was holding my newborn son on my right arm. Two years later, I have discovered that this melody lulls my infant daughter to sleep despite the fact that I can only play at a fraction of this speed (and fairly choppily at. that!)
BTW, it's in a Schirmer anthology, "Piano Music for One Hand" - ed. by Raymond Lewenthal

One afternoon last year, I noticed an elderly neighbor clutching a Schirmer Schumann Album-Leaves in the elevator. I ask him if he is taking up piano. The question is not absurd. I know an actor, 92 years old, who began serious piano study when over 80, very sucessfully. I was curious. He laughs. It turns out Boris is a pianist. He is teaching his great grand-daughter, just as his father, Simon Barere, taught him. I was stunned.

You should have seen and heard Severin von Eckardstein's version of this piece played yesterday at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam...... the roof went off..... and that was after he had just played Ornstein's Suicide on an airplane, Messiaen's Regards and Skriabin's 7th sonata...
