Amazing music played by the amazing Martha. Only one reservation to make about this video; this is a piece of extraordinary technical virtuosity throughout. So why was the camera ever taken off her awesome hands, even for a moment? Video producers sometimes seem to forget the purpose of videos, and fail to appreciate that much of the piano-lover's pleasure is visual as well as auditory. Just watch any group of people gathered round the piano in everyday life. None of them look anywhere but at the pianist's hands.

I used to be bursting with exaggerated self-confidence and thought, given enough time, I could play anything. If somebody had shown me Prokofiev's Toccata, I would have clearly felt my limitations even then and said, that I would need several lifetimes, to be able to do this. What makes Agerich so extraordinary here, the difficulty of overcoming it, is not her concern, but rather the musical language, the melody in between.

Étrange, ce que l'être non disposé musicalement que je suis perçoit, en différence des commentaires plus avisés participant d'une dissection de l'oeuvre. Car l'écoute qui m'accompagne tout au long du chemin très accentué de l'oeuvre et loin de toutes sensations d'un quelconque obscur, y perçoit comme une flamboyante rythmique . Et le piano ne s'y trompe pas en imprimant à chaque note si incisive, sa résultante sonore.
