  • How fun!!! I love it. This is just what a "showy" piece should be -- short, with nice clean articulation. I'm sure there are many different ways of interpreting this piece. It is, after all, a transcription, so some liberty should be granted. Very enjoyable.

  • Wow! Such clarity and careful pedaling =)

  • Just stupendous playing. Have loved his musicianship for years. Wow.

  • Great work on it !I'm torn between this one rendition and Martin Stadtfeld's...lol

    both are real worthy....

  • Horowitz was King in this transcription

  • Playing this piece like he does it, is incredibly difficult. Left hand is doing finger staccato's and right hand is playing portato while both hand's thumbs are playing the main melody line more strongly than the other fingers. Add careful pedalings here and there and great phrasing. Oh wow! Gotta appreciate the wonderful work he have done! One of the best videos in youtube!

  • @orgblatz "As Bach himself might have said, "Ausgezeichnet!"

    He would have have to coin the phrase though!

  • It is the concert grand CFIIIS - they are coming out with a new, improved CFIIIS next year. And I just tried the Avant-Grand - amazing! If you can get your hands on one at a dealers, try it.

  • What Yamaha grand is it?

  • BTW, what is Cornelius doing these days? Is he performing too?

  • I remember freddie chiu and his brother (who plays violin) in our grade school when I was young. I was a few grades ahead of him but I remember thinking then (when he was still so small) what an amazing pianist he was even at that age. Good to see he's gotten to where he is. He deserves it.
