whats da longest piece you can think of dat is fast n hard all da way through w/out any moizt sheeyat in da middle?
Kan - da PREUX
haha, i dun kno wdis, how long is it?
KAN op39 
Even now when I listen to it, I wonder how people can take the time to learn it. I mean, it’s great, but I’d save my calories for KFC.
Depends what your priorities are, but with a brain like Hamelin’s he can afford to play and memorize huge quantities of notes. Others have to be more picky I suppose.
I’ve never really heard about how quickly he memorises. I think Paul (e60m5) said it wasn’t that difficult. It seems like a monster though.
Well it’s very pianistic, if you’re obsessed enough with it then the process of mastering each section tech wise kind of automatically memorizes it to a degree, Doing the op39no8 alone is like doing a full op10 or op25 Chopin in a sense.

Yup, that’s the one which first crossed my mind as well.
Oh, a current one too - Prok-2-II
Yeah fuck that noise, once you’re done with the double notes you get the octaves. Still a wikid piece though.
hahaha, randomly the Horowitz 1930’s rec is so light, effortless n MOFO. I prefer that to the Lhevinne.

Lhevinne’s tech is overhyped in general IMO.
I need to revisit da Ho in this one. My favourite from those I remember is Berezovsky.
In terms of pure mechanics da Lhevinne wuz amazing for da era, but I never found his tone to be particularly special…
amen. Dat mofo can sure demolish da 88…
I met him at da 2011 pimp comp n he wuz cool
