Ha ha! This is rich. This might be the greatest youtube critisism of ALL TIME. Slagging Vladimir Horowitz at age 84, playing his last public performance.
"missing the entire point of the piece". Poor Mr. Horowitz. Just a sham player.
Marco Pocco, now HE is the real deal!
YouTube, turning the effervescent, into the banal.

God bless you, Vladimir Horowitz.

@PointAndPurpose Yes it's his own version. He used to do that. Check out his version of hungarian rhapsody 2. Lang Lang plays his version too. Argerich I believe also used to play horowitz' versions

it always struck me, too, that this piece was in b-flat major - same as the ending of the "don juan" that brought him such acclaim in st petersburg - and that his career really started to take off in hamburg. i think he did a lot of private things very deliberately. as another for instance, i believe that the schubert-liszt soir. de vie. #6 was the last piece that liszt ever played - interesting how v.h. started playing that piece in his last phase.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Hofmann studied with Moszkowski for years. His piano roll of this piece is much better, Tempo is faster, detached touch in the 8th notes is sharp and clear, putting Horowitz to shame.
Horowitz turns the piece into garbage at the end, destroying the time and missing the entire point of the piece. Hofmann's playing shows that the point of the very ending as written by Mozskpwski is that the final 8th notes show the frame that the faster 16th notes in the piece had been draped over.
