    I just looked at the sheet music first page and ****... This is amazing. Although I will try it and IF I come with something interesting I will record a video I guess lol. But I doubt I will be able to master it ahah.

    You will have to show us by a link of you playing it, I saw my music teacher at school play and excerpt of it just damn amazing, the fingers just moved, he had to lift the sustain pedal about 10 times every 4 seconds.

    Btw, what does your signature say??

    Well, I`ve played it, and once you get the two hands synchronized, it starts to come together. Then it`s just a matter of increasing the speed...

    I must get this great piece back in shape!

    Listened to a recording of this by Fritz Steinegger.
    http://music.download.com/fritzpiano/360...=song-100568154
    In the slower part (such is the extent of my technical vocabulary) at about 2 minutes into the piece, there is an unusual high note followed by a longer pause in the melody than typical for this piece. Then there is a little flourish that brings us back into a more recognizable flow of melody, etc. It is repeated again at 2:45 minutes and then I can't find it again.
    It seems odd to me. If you find it, I would be interested in your opinion. To me it does not fit into the melodic phrasing through the rest of the composition and does not seem to justify its existence on its own.
    Still, the entire work is wonderful.

    Gareth, my signature means in english: The Art of Music is more than a simple melody, it is the essence of our feelings.

    I guess it would be the best translation.

    Hmmm, something tells me there is something missing from this version, the depthness, perhaps because I have heard of faster versions and the other version just seems to have more of an emotive feeling perspected by the dynamics. I don't know what you mean when you talk about the high note followed by the pause, is it similar to the one at 4:18??

    Could you try to be a little more specific. In the mp3 I've downloaded there's nothing that strikes out like what you describe. Other than a little erratic playing once and again - ie. in some places the recording isn't as "calm and flowing" as it could be - I don't hear anything out of the "ordinary".

    I'll try to get a copy of the sheet music and see if I can find it there.

    This piece is not as difficult as it seems.Don't be frightened off by the sheet music.

    Practise each hand separately first and once each one is indepenedent start synchronizing them.This is the hard part because of the polyrythms.

    Be sure to give good feeling to the slow section

    My goal is to lean it one day, above all difficulties.
