Oh oh

Personally, I have Jeno Jando performing Beethoven's famous sonatas (Appassionata, Pathetique and Moonlight) and I do believe they're rather good. Especially the 3rd Movement (Presto agitato) of "Moonlight" which he performs to a great deal of "Extreme speeds and power" with the ...

the first page of piece X...nooo, that's getting too hard (or too boring), go on to something else... Haha! That is exactly my thoughts. I think you can all agree though that when the second page of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody is but glanced at one must cringe at the appoggiatura (sp.?) But yeah, an...

Thanks!

Thank you very much for these recommendations! I had a look at those Ciu scores and they do seem rather simple, yet effective in sound.

Ooh, it's changed now. Now onto his second piano concerto in A :)
