You’re in the ballpark. It’s a Tausig transcription.

Wang is really good with these kinds of show pieces. When I first saw her play

I felt pure hatred only. I'd have loved to take her Louboutin stilettos and ramm them into her head.

The Schumann/Tausig reminds me of this gem of a transcription by Rachmaninoff:

Kung Fury, Kung Fuhrer, TriceraCop, Laser-Raptor, machine gun wielding Viking babes, Thor, and giant fighting robots ... you know it’s good.

@Axtremus I am sure you have visit there before, right? It has been a few years, but I have always been impressed with teh airport.

[Axtremus]

@taiwan_girl, the “Jewel” of ChangYi airport opened in April 2019, after my last visit to that airport, so I have not seen it for real yet. But even without the “Jewel,” the ChangYi airport was impressive enough as it was.

Nice demonstration of magnetic acceleration.

@Axtremus is the principle for the magnetic high speed trains?

[Axtremus]

@taiwan_girl More than one way to build high speed trains, “maglev” uses magnetic acceleration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev

Some amusement park rides and roller coasters also use magnetic acceleration.
