Hungarian Georges Cziffra (1921-1994) was one of the finest pianists of the 20th Century. In this video Cziffra in preparation for a television appearance went to the TV studio to test the piano while technicians tested the lighting and camera angles for the telecast. He walks onto the set, removes his jacket, sits at the piano and puts on a fantastic improvisation. The aspect ratio of the video is off, but it does not affect the quality of Cziffra's performance.
