Cziffra's crazy improv with Chopin Etude
Loading...
Uploaded by bariguru on May 18, 2006
This is a must see video of cziffra! He does a bunch of improv and basically shows off his skill while warming up. Note: This is amazingly not a performance but a filmed test of the piano. This is the breakdown of some pieces that he visits: 1) 0:43 Chopin etude 25 no. 10
2)1:27 Liszt - Scherzo & Marsch
3) 1:37 Korsakov's Scheherezade
4)2:48 Liszt's Dante Sonata
5) 3:39 Chopin - Etude op. 10 no. 1
6) 5:10 Chopin/Liszt - Chant Polonais (Madchens Wunsch)
Also there is a bit of Shostakovitch Op. 87 No. 7 discovered as well
He absolutely rips chopin's etude op.10 no.1. from the keys. The rest, is the ability of a professional mind.
Enjoy!

Absolutely amazing.

@itsjustnopinionok LOL!!!!!

I see videos like this..and I just wonder why modern pianos' action is so much heavier. This isn't possible THIS fast on a new piano. It's be like the keys are stuck in honey.

@bhh1988 Read the description, although it is missing some of the other pieces that he's playing here.

I actually like the end

En cette année Liszt , comme on oublie trop vite CZIFFRA, Liszt réincarné tel qu'il fut un temps appelé à juste titre, sans nul doute le plus grand virtuose de tous les temps ( je vais en provoquer plus d'un mais tant pis ) ....Quelle leçon extraordinaire pour tous les pianistes et pédagogues , que de le voir s'échauffer ainsi ...

Can anyone name any of the pieces that he's playing? (besides the Chopin etude). A lot of them sound like they're at least based off of some piece, not completely made up...
-
I never knew pears could play the piano so well, DO YOU GET IT!?!?!?
But really, Cziffra really is great.
