@jon-nyc I don't know, must be in the score. I'll have to look.

Wow! The best performance of "Fireworks" I've ever heard. The palette of sounds he gets from the piano is awesome.
Most exciting finale! Neat trick with the full range black key + white key double glissandi with full pedal. I’m going steal that some day.
