Happy july 4th, everyone! this is my take on horowitz's piano solo ver. of sousa's "stars and stripes forever". I took the Pellisorius edition of the transcription and made a few edits based on his 1948 encore performance.

I regard your talent as stupendous. And such taste and refinement in rubato and articulation. Gosh!!!!! You have given us the name of your sound engineer, I believe. But what is your own name, please. And where are you currently located?
Great tone! Truly feels like a march with different instrumentation. Looks like a blast to play as well, even though pretty difficult. Would you care to share the edits that you did to the score?
I admire you AND your talent for taking on so challenging a project. I heard Horowitz play live several times and comprehend the awe. That said, I'm sure you know the C.Hall encore of 1948 was just 3min 35 sec compared to 4min 20sec in your splendid version, or 45sec faster pace/tempo. While it is NOT a race, I'd like to encourgare you to work on getting it as far under 4min. as is humanly possible. CONGRATULATIONS!
