a lot of intricate rubato, but very natural, you can feel his breathing and body movements,

as is this

I learnt the Chopin etudes and ballades through vasary

See the difference between real pianists and wannabes like AK?

Even Vasary's major rit at 2:57 is so exquisitely timed. Perfection.

Alicia de Larrocha has a recording on youtube, which is also quite fast, and wonderful, but not quite as 'simple' as the above two. Originally Posted by essence

Im betting most of them think rubato is what they get at an AMP!

BTW -- chords are for homos!

Phenomenol. About the most difficult piece ever written, he makes it glisten. Originally Posted by essence

That Liszt piece sounds incredibly difficult. A lot of his work is, no?

I assume this is her in the middle section, and if so, you can see why i say she is an awful pianist.

The melody for the poem was originally an English drinking song.
