So lucky to have you as my instructor. Bravo as always, Dr. Yui! Always an honor to watch and listen to you perform. I must say, the 'Ox-Cart' was truly captivating. Something about the walking left hand is really, really special. Can't explain why - almost like a brain working over-time into the ground!
The original version for piano is not well written for piano and is vapid. The fact that the piece was not popular until Ravel's orchestration in the 1920's supports this contention. The piano version by Horowitz (1951) combines Mussorgsky's compositional genius with Horowitz's far superior knowledge of the piano to create the ultimate realization of the work. Please learn and perform the Horowitz version.
