Most of the time one just plays the pieces in a concert that you already know without sheet music, because if you sight-read in a concert, you can easily start to feel unsure, and the performance does indeed look better without a foot-thick bunch of papers needing to be turned on top of the piano.

Absolutely the most gorgeous performance of this magic piece of all times. Hamelin, whose touch is that of an angel, makes all the others sound like baby elephants pounding on the keys.

You are right. Hamelin's compositions have only pianistical value most of times.

As a pianist, maybe. But not as a composer, Liszt was just too brilliant...

I don't really understand what is the thing with memorizing pieces? Because when you play piece enough many times through there are no change to not memorize it. Of course when you only play it from sheets you learn it little bit slower than when you right away try to memorize it. So it's really not that big deal.
