    @cowzilla8 Octave glissandos also appear in the music of Brahms and Prokofiev, so it’s not that outlandish.

    It’s undoubtedly virtuosistic, but as a transcription it pretty much sucks…

    OMG, an octave glissando? Dang, Cziffra’s crazy.

    @onegoodspliff666 Lol, I can play 5 different instruments(piano, viola, alto saxophone, guitar, and drums), read every clef, and still come nowhere to playing this

    2:04 so inconspicuous but still virtuosic –> that’s the magic of Cziffra

    Nice transcription. Seems almost impossible to play though.

    HOW MANY MORE TIMES. KHACHATURIAN WROTE THE ORIGINAL SCORE, CZIFFRA TRANSCRIBED IT FOR PIANO. COME ON PEOPLE.

    I use a specialised technique when playing these pieces…I play only the first and last notes and..(this is the big secret) then PRETEND that I’ve played the other zillion …whereafter I set fire to my left leg (to bring myself down to earth) and wait for the funny looking men to take me away.Try it,it really works!!
