William Bolcom seems to be the Liszt of Ragtime -- both composers create devilishly challenging pieces.

Wonderful performance!!!
I repeat and repeat this video about 20times since I found it on youtube!
I love William Bolcom and this is one of my fav' piece from him,
it's such a difficult piece to play(for me)and Cazal dose a BRAVO job,
BTW,the eyebrow technique is really funny!

Excellent! Love it.
Masterful combination of whimsy, musicality and technique. 'never seen or heard it played nearly so well. Has Olivier Cazal recorded this piece for sale? 'would love to have this in MP3 format, for instance.

@hyktmbe This is a live performance and I'm sorry there is no recording of this piece by Olivier Cazal other than this video. But thank you for the nice comments

Anyway, I'm not trying to wage a virtual war here with this well-meaning person or classical music people in general, just crystallize and refine my opinions until I can post them on a blog somewhere. I'll quit wasting space and let others listen to and comment on this superlative performance.

This mini-debate was, anyway, very welcome and highly instructive. I'm glad my friend Olivier's performance of this piece played as a trigger for it.
Thank you gentlemen
