Alfred Brendel wrote that so many pianists are run-of-the-mill that their performances would gain in interest if they fell off the bench while playing. NEVER so with Kemal Gekic. He explores the voice leading possibilities in the A sections of this etude. The middle section's melody flows naturally in long, eloquently nuanced phrases. Gekic's superb physical command of the notes frees him up to engage his mind with the many possible ways of voicing and inflecting this etude. He is always engaging and spontaneous in live performance. If he performs near you, don't miss him!
