The famous Horowitz somehow transcribed The Stars and Stripes Forever for piano.
Including the piccolo part!
Even as I watch this modern performance by Emily Bear I'm stunned at all of the parts being played simultaneously.
Here's Horowitz, sadly, without video:
He rides the pedal pretty heavily. I think his rendition of the piccolo part is better than Emily's performance. What I love about Emily's performance is that she doesn't ride the pedal, and with the video you can see what a workout it is to play The Stars and Stripes Forever.
