Jonathan Plowright played this piece so beautifully. I love Mr. Plowright's interpretation. Another captivating interpretation of this piece was performed by Leventritt Gold Medalist Pianist CECILE LICAD during her solo recital in Singapore. It is available on youtube, just type: "Cecile Licad Encores2-3" (no spacing).

Jonathan Plowright (one of the top pianists on earth) played 'The Banjo' recently at a concert in Dublin, what a brilliant piece and performance - very refreshing and can only be tackled by the best.

I'm just waiting for the violin piece "The Tuba".

Or maybe the timpani piece "The Piccolo".

MARC ANDRE HAMELINS ETUDE NO 5 IS A DISGUISED VERSION OF THIS, IN WHICH IVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF PLAYING!

@nicktbiz I'm not personally threatened, I don't even know you to be. Your just wrong toughguy :)

[nicktbiz]

@jtr48009 Well really, I never said I didn't play piano. I simply did not claim to be a piano player. I was playing the piano long before you were born, sonny boy. My copy of Le banjo has been in the family for about 100 years or more and I can certainly read it it if not play it as i would like. As a semi pro musician I certainly know what I am talking about. You obviously are so immature and insecure that you regard anyone's contrary opinion as a personal threat

[jtr48009]

@nicktbiz you don't play piano man... I've played this piece... you don't know what your talking about... your comment was retarded... callin'em like I see'em. how gottschalk intended...lol... the interpretation between composer and performer is ALWAYS different, as is the way a performer hears the piece as to the audience. Tigerlilly66 is awesome... who ever you are :)

[nicktbiz]

@jtr48009 If you have neither the wit nor the intellect to express your opinion intelligently it would be better if you did not resort to such childish comments

[Eye2EyeIIIV]

That was beautiful!

@Jazzbonick =

I'll ask LMG the next time I see him. I'm sure he'll concur with your erudite assessment.
