yes, ditto to all the comments below. Thanks a million for putting this together and posting it. I typically like to watch the performers, but seeing the score like this is so amazing, mezmorizing. How did Prokofieff do it. How does Martha play it. It all seems so impossible, but here it is, and it's heart wrenchingly beautiful. I just wish more people appreciated it, rather than 3 chord rock bands, though I like rock bands too. Oh well.

She is just amazing. I love her interpretation and exquisite technique. I especially appreciate the choice of no ritardando at the end, which some pianists do in this piece. This way is so much more exciting, full throttle to the end.

I absolutely love the part at 4:31, particularly that incredible orchestration! 😍😍 Leave it to Prokofiev to effortlessly and seamlessly meander through different, clashing keys without making things sound sudden or tonally unstable

I'm really taken by this particular interpretation. I usually hear the middle section of this movement (the piano solo) played very quickly, almost rushed. This is slower, but also expressive and rhythmically accurate. It gives the piece a driving feel while still being haunting.

I think it can be done (although with some difficulties) because it's not "really" double notes. You usually put one finger across two keys to press both simultaneously. Prokofiev uses this kind of thing fairly often

Very few people the double notes as written. Most play glissandi with the right hand and hit the top and bottom notes with their left. Argerich actually plays the notes as written. You can see it in videos. I have no idea *how* she does it, but she does.

People always like to focus on the scales that are to be mimiced as glissandos. Like that is the hardest thing about this movement. But difficulty is subjective. To me the "glissandos" aren't nearly as difficult as other parts of this movement. The interlocking chords for the coda. HARD! The constant left hand chord leaps that lead up to the "glissandos" HARD (FOR EX: bars 103-108 and 135-138)! Those jumps for me were a monster to perfect. Try to play them at full speed with accuracy with extra large hands like myself. Even the opening scales/runs played in the beginning after the initial theme are very difficult. I'm always amazed at how Martha Argerich learned this concerto in three weeks while listening to her room mate in school practicing it. Yes it's difficultas hell but Prokofiev's 2nd, Rachmaninoffs 3rd and the hardest of all of them Bartok's 2nd are harder than this concerto. And they are all difficult for different reasons.

Seeing as no one has given you a correct answer, I'll let you in on how it's done: you can either 1) try and play the two notes with one finger on the space between the notes, or 2) use two hands overlapping (which is what Martha does in her videos). I don't know why people have given you such inaccurate answers. Anyway, hope that helps.

I don't see why you would have to put ur finger in between the cracks of the white keys for the double note flourish...both hands are free at this point, i see everyone using both hands which means they are not putting the fingers in between the cracks. Id say kind of like doing 2 glissandos right next to eachother.
