maddpianist ::: Favorites I've never heard anyone get such an explosive sound as Cziffra does. I wonder how many bass strings he broke over his career... 07-03-27 04:22:14 _____________________________________________________

RigorMortis999 ::: Favorites Cziffra changes a LOT of the music from what Liszt wrote - simplyfing it here so he can go faster, adding chords there to sound bigger, but still, hot DAMN. 06-11-07 12:02:17 _____________________________________________________
waldesrauschen ::: Favorites none of it is simplified, my friend 06-11-17 14:25:06 _____________________________________________________
RigorMortis999 ::: Favorites Then perhaps an example would make my point. You should compare the right hand jump size in Cziffra's version of bars 85-92 and 172-180 to the original score. (Be warned, some editions publish only a simplified version, not Liszt's original. They do not always mark it as simplified and this is likely where your misassumption comes from) 06-11-17 19:07:15 _____________________________________________________
waldesrauschen ::: Favorites ah that would explain things...better to leave it to he who has played the piece before! I've never liked the Liszt originals, much like the simplified Etudes are much more effective than the more difficult originals. Did Liszt himself simplify it, or did some pianist/editor do it? 06-11-17 21:09:36 _____________________________________________________
RigorMortis999 ::: Favorites My edition(Budapest) has notes that state that their publication contains the original Liszt without editorial interference. As the simplified passages are included (as an ossia), I would assume Liszt provided them. I do believe the original is more effective here. (I agree about the Etudes; I mixed the original and revised when I did the Paganinis) Cziffra's version seems of the Galop seems to be his own, customized for his particular tastes, it is unlike any printed version I have seen. 06-11-17 22:43:46 _____________________________________________________

IAmSophistry ::: Favorites I had a carefully constructed comment that shows how au fait with the piano world I am all prepared, ready to let the world know how smarmy and knowledgable I was, but I think I'll leave it and go with 'HOLY SHIT! WTF! DID YOU SEE THAT?!' instead. 06-08-27 15:56:06 _____________________________________________________
