Something a bit different, from a modern maestro. (And watch his left hand).

Amazing!  Norman Mackay is a bit of a genius, but thankfully doesn't take himself too seriously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S23cJ8SGbVI

Thanks for that, Theo. Maybe I could make one of those to drive my wife completely bonkers? (Then I could hire it out, for a small sum, if anyone's interested.)

That's absolutely brilliant!

I noticed that he plays some C naturals in the second section, where they are written (and usually played) as C sharps.

They actually sound rather cool though.

I wonder whether that is a deliberate choice that he's made, or just a mis-reading.

Interesting - since C♯ is available in both directions, I wouldn't think it was due to a technical limitation of the instrument.
