He actually isn´t according to himself. He rarely practice more then 3 hours a day. I don´t know if you should believe him though.;)

Lovely playing.TY Sissco for sharing.

Hamelin has to be one of the hardest working professional concert pianist in the business

Roll over 99% of pianists in your grave.

The Danza itself is one of the most catching and sticky pieces ever written. Hamelin turns it into a serious and verloaded etude which is a heavenly pleasure to listen, a hellish torture to perform. My favourite part is the final chromatic descending passage at 3:25.

Ah, now I get you :D
I think he did that to accentuate the "surprise element" - you think he's going to continue the theme in F major, as previously, but it quickly switches back to minor.

@twooffour Lol, we're not on the same page. I'm just talking about the notation. That's it. I think it is funny to change key signatures in the score for just two measures. Sure, changing modes is easy and nice and it works well, but he goes through the trouble of changing key "signatures" for those 2 measures. I think it's funny.

I get the charm and humor of the minor-major switches in this arrangement, incl., or especially that short one, but there is absolutely no "trouble" whatsoever about switching betweeen minor and major of the same root. Sure, the accidentals change, but musically, it's just F minor - F Major, and that's it.
-
@twooffour The funny part about this is that Hamelin goes through that trouble just for literally 2-3 seconds of music.
-
What's funny about the flats? Switching between major and minor of the same tonica is common practice.
you can always count on hamelin to play something that will blow your mind
