Some great Liszt and some insane trannies! If the topic were greatest virtuosi, Iād rank him somewhere in the top 10.

Da cziff own clarity a bit which is harder than speed. Def if was doing a fingers near keys doc approach pretty sure he could vape barere etc.
Thoā¦ the octave cadenza in his Tchaikovsky pretty sure I could play faster in an afternoon with some Red Bullās truā¦ hmmm

Thatās right, he has the excitement and personality of the golden age greats.
His truly best stuff is in a category of its own. Much of his (massive) recorded studio rep does him a disservice, his live rep was actually way smaller than thatā¦
He kinda got the spirit of Josef Hofmannā¦ learn da sheeyat 100% solid and then get loose with it on stage.

Da hilarious thing about da Ziff is his endurance octs are generally way better den standard oct bursts, again, kinda like Josef Hofmann, who nails da Erldong with ease.

This sacrilege!
ā¦poss also a bit true. Hmm
Hahah honestly da ziff āblurry passageā pozz an effect, you hear da Friedrice n Rach (and early Ho) use Diz as well.
Randomly da slight weakness in da ziff rep was surprisingly da Pimp Fox Fuckah Transexual Etudeā¦ which shows juz how uselessness dat sheeyat is in actual standard rep 
Tiz was da insanely clear fingerwork dat impressed da mini TRUMOFO when I first heard da ziff recs.
Sum Zkep approved imagez if you search dis

Oddly other master of clarity early Ho. Even through shitty rec tech.
I remember not appreciating how hart mofos used to work to sound sparkly n shit until I saw the early ho Op 10 no 8 silent vid with the insane snap movemnets.
