It’s impossible for me to not hear it for that long, unless I stop going to concerts.
I think it’s an improvement on Liszt’s, which is an improvement on SS. The only thing I regret is that Horowitz removed that part with the repeated octaves before the theme returns.
His Funérailles would’ve been great if he’d have played the climax like a normal person. There is one live version from the Carnegie series which is more calm. Overall, I haven’t come across a really satisfying version of the piece, maybe Richter but I haven’t listened to his for a long time.
i’m arse suming big mac is danse macabre?
How!?
Danse MACabre.
It’s a continuation of Feux Follets which means French Fries.
It’s that he turns - in all three works - what should be a musical journey in to a display of his pianism. I’m all for that in the Paganini studies, go right ahead, but not here. It’s the coca cola to go with the rest of his menu - and coke is great… unless you knew it said Macallan 18 on the order.
But if you’re 12 I suppose you’re happy to have that coke and if you’re 22 I suppose you’d like them together. 
Each to his own. I just find it annoying.

You hear music in the danse macabre? Apart from the basic tune I think the original is complete rubbish, and Liszt’s is only somewhat more palatable.
Oh yes - love it!
I think it’s one of SS’s (many) inspired popcorn moments.
I like the tune but I don’t think he did enough with it. I kind of feel like he wasted this material. I feel the same with Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King.

Dang, that’s tenuous at best…
I reckon the Liszt is an improvement on da SS (although clearly the violin makes it) but am not a fan of the Ho arrangement. If I sheeyat correctly the original is a zong or there is definitely a zong arrangement.
Tru, and when u iz 28 it is perfectly fine to want an 18 year old
Tf does this have to do with anything?

Liszt’s ~works~ but this is one of those cases where I prefer the orchestral original. It’s so tied to death and his false tuned violin.
Oh yes. Whisky.
