mike you appear to have a personality disorder. some of us just enjoy the music. in any case, if you're so fucking clever, I've just one word for you - TATUM.

I tell the truth about virtuosos. I presented 30 examples of irrefutable evidence showing all the top pianists faking the descending octaves at the end of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody #2. Noone can prove me wrong. Only one human plays Liszt's hardest notes. Saying that these pathetic pianists can play the notes is trolling and spreading propaganda, because they've proven by their failed parformances and recordings that they can't! By the way: HOROWITZ USES A "CORKED BAT"

For a man of his age, he played this exceedingly well. =)

I really enjoyed Horowitz's rendition.

Horowitz is using a "corked bat." He couldn't play at this level without cheating. Richard Kastle posted a blog on his myspace page that explains the cheating methods. Kastle studied with Horowitz's student and knows all his scams. If you want to learn, read the blog. If you want to remain in a media brainwashed state of confusion, don't read it. Stay stupid!

I don't really like the way Horowitz plays the Polonaise, though he was a great pianist. To me, Rafal Blaseck's (sorry if I mispelled his name) version is the best I've ever heard.

absolutely marvelous!!! What a wonderful piece. Though I have not heard the music of many classical composers, so far Chopin is my absolute favorite.

stubborn in technique, yet by far most outstanding!

to Mongoose, It is not about "what I think it is based on" it is about what Chopin based this music on....
