haha thanks, yes I played it partly to get the reverse standing O, ie at the beginning of the concert rather than the end. :) Godowsky's arrangements are all complex of course...
So glad this is on UA-cam! The last time I searched for it must have been over 6 months ago. I'm inspired by your performance to pick it up again. I could master it if I could memorize it but memorizing has always been difficult for me. I found the score on IMSLP. I wondered if the audience would stand up, and they sure did. Thanks for mastering this piece and sharing your wonderful performance!
I also play this/ along w Rachmaninoff's & Horowitz's versions. Same 4 God Save the Queen1)Lisz -2 ) Beethoven-3) Horowitz & then also Glenn Gould's version. Great stuff
absolutely not. It is one of the Most beautiful Anthems, musically, (beats our Oh Canada) This arrangements has Chord Progressions (* Trills, embellishments) that are in Romantic Styling. You are right about one thing--this kid KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK!
Such an amazing performance! This is when music really speaks!!!
thanks there is a more recent version here ua-cam.com/video/FaBO-N-nxFQ/v-deo.html

@VilliusPossessoris Thanks for the kind words.. this arrangement is a real find and playing the anthem is a lost tradition worth reconsidering...
Wow. Awesome arrangement.

obsolete, just trying to make a simple thing comüplicated pianistically, Godwsky really had to touch whatever.Brave young pianist though
