Incredible how you can still see and hear the glimpses of his youth, speed, and power, even in his old age in this. Incredible! Cziffra was truly a giant of a man. ❤
He was almost 72 at that time, left behind the stage many years earlier and OMG but if nothing had been changed in his play. He was really the best among the best, no comparison. If you have more videos like this please share with us, it's a gem and huge thank! A great fan of Cziffra.
Huh? THAT wasn't slow practice. That was 75% tempo practice. Nothing like Shura Cherkassky, or Rachmaninoff. THOSE guys did truly slow practice! This looks like tension-filled repetition. (Not to mention those exercises that only build up more tension.)
@@lynnraley7731too bad Cziffra wasn't able to get tips from you. Then he might have been able to play without so much tension and such bad tone, and so slow
Cela montre qu’il est bien de travailler fort ;cela permet d’acquérir de la puissance et ainsi d’avoir une plus grande étendue de nuances dans ses mains !
J'adore, ce n''est pas assez compliqué pour lui, alors il ajoute son grain de sel, des petites fioritures par ci par là ! Il n'y a que Cziffra pour se complaire à complexifier une étude de Liszt 😂 A nouveau merci pour ce partage op106
@@JoEbY-X in a way, yes. I don't know which teacher had a greater influence on Cziffra's development at the Franz Liszt Academy (if there was a difference at all in that regard), but I don't think that really matters since Dohnányi ultimately followed Thomán's method.
@@charlesbluett8195 that exercise practices double fourths / fifths in contrary motion, not thirds. In fact, Tausig's method has no exercise like this. This is most likely Beringer's exercise no. 179 (with the trill length cut in half) from his "Daily Technical Studies", which not by accident is proposed by him as a preparation to Tausig's "Daily Studies".
Você viu o vídeo até o fim? Por exemplo, a partir de 12:36 (lembrar que essa filmagem foi feita um ano antes da morte do Cziffra) - Além disso, as linhas curtas de improvisação e as arrancadas de oitavas são bem características do Cziffra. A velocidade é um pouco menor, sim, mas ele estava praticando, não dando um recital.
It's Cziffra, look at how he plays octaves switching between 4 and 5 like he does in his recording of Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No6, it's the same hand, also if you watch it to the end you can clearly see his face lol
I ❤ Cziffra too......... 100% for certain Horowitz wouldn't be caught dead or alive playing like this. If you play the 545 Scarlatti Sonats,18 Mozart Sonatas & both books of WTC by Bach there is ZERO NEED FOR UNMUSICAL EXERCISES. play the 18 Transcendental & Paganini Etudes the Chopin 27,Moskowski & Rachmaninoff? Whats left---not this crap,sorry peoples. For virtual certitude thses " finger benders" are best left to Czerny types Everything is LOUD, LOUDER & LOUDEST----Really ? Is this even remotely musical. Ugh........
It's called practice. Hear him play it in a concert. Of course, this is different. He's working on the technical aspects of his playing, not the musicality, and even though many pianist never studied these exercises myself included they still are useful for building strength in the hands and getting finger dexterity up. I also love horowitz and think his rachmaninoff is some of the best
The first exercise with the double thirds is from Dohnanyi's Essential Finger Exercises. That book carried me through my conservatory years
Hi, wich number is it?
@@benjamintapiacastro8949 Probably №26 or №27 (double thirds)
How many times did I have to do this in all forms for my teacher?!😅
Yes I play it every day

Милый Цыффра, мы скучаем по Вам ❤
I just discovered that I do exactly this exercise a lot .Cziffra was incredible virtuoso.
And we all fantasize as if those exercises could ever allow us to achieve what he did!
Thanks for these gems. Please never remove them from your channel :)
シフラが指のトレーニングをしています。
これは多くのピアニストに多くの確信をもたらす素晴らしい映像です。
This is so wonderful thanks a million, I love Cziffra so much🙂
Wow he practices Slow like us mere mortals

Un merveilleux interprète....quel virtuose! Personne n'a jamais joué Liszt comme lui.
@@laurenceguinzbourg3209 même pas Liszt ?
@@xxmeliozxx1160 .. ça Liszt certainement..ce serait bien d'avoir son avis..😆.mais il faut reconnaître que Cziffra le représente à la perfection..
@@laurenceguinzbourg3209 Oui, tu as raison. Cziffra est aussi l'un de mes pianistes préférés
It sounds so old timey with the grainy footage and sound even though its not that old
His teacher's teacher was Liszt's student.
Cziffra was a student of István Thomán and Ernö Dohnányi at the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest. Thomán was both Dohnányi's teacher and Liszt's pupil.
@@PedroLauridsenRibeiro So you're saying Cziffra's teacher's teacher was Liszt?

@@PedroLauridsenRibeiro I just like saying "DOCCHH NYAANN YEE"
precious... thx for sharing!
thank you for sharing!!!
It was Cziffra, and the others
His face at the end 😂
He is music
almost zero wrong notes and zero key slips
Nice
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for it
Are those the Brahms at the top? Rings a bell.
at the start? sounds like Tausig's Daily Study 91

13:30 Wow, he's playing that without even looking at the keys.
Óbvio que não é ele! 😂

telling one of the greatest players to ever live that his practice is crap? youve said everything about yourself that we need to know.
