yep ,it4s true ,you will hear it ! it was so faithfully and beautiful executed
...i believe that it was played at Brazil two years ago too ...
more things
that came to my mind : Tom played some things ,like the crescendo figures at
the end of  "m.moon " ,with only his left hand ,legato style  ,and perfectly
...

wait to hear it.

"The Fire"? Get out of here! Is this true?
