Tell me you've practised your octaves, without telling me you've practised your octaves 

Hahahahahaha i love your user name! 🤣🤎

Cziffra didn't have massive hands. Only good strech and godlike technique

@@kaspianocz6330 Not his hands but his thumbs! 😶

Ima be honest octaves are way easier to play fast than fifths. Octaves just feel more comfortable

@@briandang5869 true... except hes doing 1 4 lmao

@@andrewzhang8512 but he is using it occasionally to either accent the melody notes or smoothly move through the keys

have you ever heard an average stride piano player? have a look at dick wellstood and you`ll see crazy LH jumps

Couldn't help but throw in a couple final tonic chords, boom!

I think at 1:12 he does all the LH octaves 8vb 🤣

Genius isn’t it!

@@douwemusic every 2nd octave

Yeah! I don't get that, either. How does he stay loose? It's a total mystery to me.

@@uliwidmaier5192 One thing I believe is that he is aware of the bone structure in his hands with the arches and the keystones of them so that when he surrenders to gravity he can rest momentarily in each key..Bridges with arches are strong! so he can stay relaxed and he knows the finger intent for each note, musically, so he can rest in each key without tension and then have the lateral freedom that is so incredible. He is a natural wonder! Brian King

Nice reference.

i know this reference 😂😂😂

Thank you :)

Thanks bro

Thank you. I suspected is was a piece by Liszt, but didnt know which one.

@Walter I love Mozart but idk if he was actually that good at playing the piano. I would absolutely kill to listen to Chopin play tho

@Walter I mean ya, it's Mozart idk what I'm saying lol

There are recordings of Rachmaninoff, Hofmann, Godowsky, and of course, Horowitz. There is also a very brief recording of Johannes Brahms, who was a superb pianist. As a pianist Brahms had the misfortune of being a contemporary of Franz Liszt.

@@frazzledude all of them are great pianists. But I have Cziffra as my favorite one

@@frazzledude Brahms was not sympa with Liszt who seems too modern for him,he was jealous !!

Vladimir Horowitz, Martha Argerich.

or not?

Yeah, I don't think Liszt had supernatural powers. He was outsandingly skilled but he had human limits too

@@Alex-iu7dl idk man, playing chopin's etudes in octaves seems pretty insane.

@@Alex-iu7dl A lot of that plays off the statement that he was , or may have been the "greatest" pianist who ever lived, blah, blah-of course he was so much more than just a fast octave player. Seeing?, but there could have been a chance to have recorded him-as an old man, but could have given some hints

@@labienus9968 sight reading Pieces Chopin Etudes is really sick. when even Chopin envied his Possibilities and was by him self praised by almost everyone for his playing. (Not only on an emotional Level)

No, he’s not. That would clearly be audible. Octaves have a certain sound to them. His are consistent.

@@Shooshie128 Look when the LH has the octaves. The thumb isn’t depressing the key.

why the fuck does this have to do with horowitz lmao

@@EntelSidious_gamzeylmz Horowitz is superior.

Is your goal to comment on every video featuring someone other than Horowitz and calling them students?

He can do what he wants! It’s his own version, there isn’t an edition with the notes he played

@@arthurhorowitz5345 why do you even put it in the video then? It's not relevant.

@@kaspianocz6330 that is the original piece, cziffra likes to play variations made by him. He also has a very famous variation of the flight of the bumbelbee between others

@@miquelcanosasanteularia1678 It would take few minutes to edit the original score.

@@kaspianocz6330 it is quite hard actually to identify for sure all the notes and rythm. You have here what liszt wrote, which is also cool
