[brasiliennr1]

im just a girl from germany who has a question for u.

first of all i love every piece u play, and with the grace u do it...love it!

my question is, have u ever played something by Prokofiev? and if yes, which piece is your favorite?

if u have something on tape, in your archives maybe, could u upload it? maybe the Piano Concerto No. 3?

thank u,

robin

greetings from germany!

@brasiliennr1 Sure, it is on my site under multimedia.

is there a piece with more trills? There is a page with a series of trills in both hands, and leaps, it looks so difficult, it is around 5:14. It actually makes sense.

[FliegendeHollaender]

@mdehkram actually it doesn't look as hard as it really is.

[FliegendeHollaender]

@mdehkram

it is very difficult, indeed :)

[Fredigundis22]

@mgpoliveira Yes! There's a very good annotated score by Busoni (on three staves) in the Supplement to his edition of Book 1 of the Well-Tempered Clavier.

[Fredigundis22]

Any plans for some piano (left-hand) repertoire? Some Godowsky Chopin paraphrases or something or other by Franz Schmidt (perhaps the Beethoven Variations or the Piano Concerto)?

[IAmTheHound]

Breathtaking technique and a superb performance of an exceptionally difficult movement of an exceptionally difficult sonata.

[TatTwamAsi]

I forget the start of the 4th movement ...

The remaining polyphonic disharmonic contents is wonderful! This is - and has to be revolting and lovely naughty like a school boy! I enjoyed it.

@FantasyPiano317 So could Claudio Arrau

Strange reaction, dear matsuokashiro.

I just admire this interpretation, and just compare

it to one its clearly inspired on.

But fine days in another future.

[bobcinq]

Wonderful performance. Fantastic clarity. Gilels is still my top choice for this piece.

[matsuokashiro]

Kempff is good, but young female Levitsa is REALLY something else. We should not RANK those great human geniuses as if in a horse race. If you really like Beethoven (and all other great composers) we should take attitude that they taught us something of human value, and act accordingly. Likewise to Kempff and Lisitsa; not entertainers like in circus.
