I downloaded a version and printed it out - there is a lot of it (150 pages) and really fascinating. It tells us a great deal about why Cziffra was such a fabulous pianist and also makes one wonder how he ever made it after so many tragedies and setbacks. I don't know of any other musician who had such a chequered life - it was like the Book of Job, and I'm not being irreverent. A real pageturner, as they say nowadays.
