I decided to take a break before presenting a range of Liszt works with something "easy" by Schumann. However the Carnaval in Vienna was rather more problematic that I had originally calculated. This is with repeats and is performed at an effective tempo (though, as usual, a little slower and rather different than than my Richter/Michelangeli benchmarks). It comprises an Allegro, Romanze, Scherzino, Intermezzo and Finale (to be played "as fast as possible"!)

At least you can show some respect and stop posting your meaningless posts these days.

Another dazzling rendition by Bill the Butcher.

Fascinating.

A real Schwank!

Owwww. I need a little wein before listening to that Wien.

I have a five year old recording of my fourteen year old son playing this piece. There is a slight quality difference ... in the playing as well as the recording.

This recording clearly shows the tonal the beautiful sound that can be achieved by playing on a great piano and using top notch recording equipment.

Verily !!!!

I see what you did there

Dunno.....main thing it sounds like to me is....



....and I don't think we're talking about that.

Maybe there is also a touch of Wiener Schmäh!
