Let it sink in that 12-year old César Franck played this piano part himself. A lovely indulgence of talent, what starts as pleasant parlor (salon) music slowly turns into a glittering, even thunderous at times, piano score. I have a feeling that the listeners were stunned. Probably his goal?

For the ones who are quick to state he was just merely showing off, they don't understand the machinations of composing and performing. You don't tell your dentist when he/she is excellent that they are showing off are you? Or your car mechanic, even lawyer, etc. etc.

For musicians/composers it is often damned if you do, damned if you don't.
