Those double-trills at the end look difficult! were they hard to perfect?

@PianersAreFun After having to learn the Chopin double-thirds etude, the trills in this weren't as hard. The hardest part was the left hand jumping around. I never got it perfect.

I truly enjoyed listening to you play this piece! :) Such talent you have to play Horowitz amazingly! I've been playing for over 9 years and have never attempted this arrangement but I'm wanting to now but everywhere I go to get music, I can never find his arrangement. :( Is there a certain place I can get this? When I do find and buy it, are there any suggestions/recommendations you would give to someone who's trying to learn that would help?

@futuredussault Thank you very much. If you check out some of the other comments, you'll find the link to the website where I got the sheet music for this piece. It should be on one of the comments somewhere :)

horowitz would be proud!  awesome my friend!

BRAVO SIR!!! I've heard it said or read somewhere that Maestro Horowitz's compositions and arrangements were often so difficult that no other pianist would dare attempt to play them except Mr. Horowitz himself. Thanks for sharing your astounding talent!

Wow! And you're not asian.

@niklaslinux That's what i was thinking.. this march fits as ragtime. crazay.

[niklaslinux]

@Entertainer114 Left hand jumping is always hard, Ragtime is a good training for this.

Thanks for posting!! Your technique isn't perfect (gee, I wonder why lol) and neither was Horowitz'. I like your style of playing (better than Mr. H in some parts imo). Congrats!! Awesome job.

To the 13 people who disliked this, may I say in all due respect you are fucking idiots. That was amazing dude.
