    You are absolutely right; thank you for correcting me. I was relying on my knowledge of Horowitz's sound recordings, forgetting that he had made some piano rolls. The deficiencies of the roll technology, or at least the vagaries of the reproducing mechanisms, no doubt accounts for the uncharacteristic playing in this selection.

  • @llapidus
    @llapidus 11 лет назад +21

    (Contd) The playing in this video is much more heavily pedaled and indistinctly articulated, which is likely due to the fact that it is a recording of a piano roll, and both the recording and reproducing mechanism may not have been up to the task of capturing Horowitz's quicksilver reflexes.

    You know, this piece isn't as hard as you imagine, memorizing it may be tricky, but the rhythm is the same throughout, so it is a matter of memorizing the appropriate notes to play and then picking up speed. Performing it like horowitz will take years, but to perform it shouldn't take too long. Go to IMSLP (google it) and look for Etude Op. 25 No. 12 to find the sheets for this.

    exactly. Horowitz had known and played these pieces countless times for well over half a century. He's tried more variations of Rach's 3rd more times than Lisitsa has probably played it.
