Scriabin - Sonata 5 op 53 [commentary]
One of Scriabin's most legendary and innovative works, the 5th sonata is also one of my personal favorites both to listen to and to play. Despite the tremendous difficulty (those jumps are no joke), I find the 5th sonata quite fun pianistically, while the harmonies and colors evoked in this piece are quite unlike anything else in the piano literature - even among Scriabin's other works. Unlike a lot of other Scriabin works which are marked by darkness/gloom and relatively on the blue/green side overall for me, this one is luminous and bright, with a myriad of colors and utterly dazzling.
For other performances, Richter's playing in this piece is pretty much unbelievable.

Lyapunov - Etude op 11 no 6 (Tempete)
Просмотров 276Месяц назад
Lyapunov Etude op 11 no 6 - "Tempete" (difficulty rating 6/10) An etude reminiscent of Liszt's 10th transcendental etude, the epithet "tempest" tells you exactly what you need to know about the mood for most of this piece. As usual though, Lyapunov mixes in flowing melodic lines and alternates between major and minor in this piece, making it overall not quite as dark as some Liszt etudes can ge...

Rachmaninoff - op 39 no 5 [commentary]
Просмотров 4772 месяца назад
Rachmaninoff op 39 no 5 (difficulty rating - 5.5/10) Rachmaninoff's op 39 set of etudes tableaux doesn't seem as commonly played as some of his other works (preludes, concertos), but from the set, no 5 is probably the most popular. Perhaps the most dramatic and violent of the set, it has a sense of rawness and deepness to it that Rachmaninoff sometimes does very well, such as in the prelude op ...

Chopin - Nocturnes op 55 [commentary]
Просмотров 2643 месяца назад
A pair of late Chopin nocturnes on the pensive side, of which the first is a more commonly played "simple" nocturne with a languid mood, and the second is surprisingly complex in both mood and technique. The second, in particular, is a good example of Chopin's increasingly complex harmony in his later works, and is one of my personal favorites.
Lyapunov - Etude op 11 no 3 (Carillon)
Просмотров 1345 месяцев назад
Lyapunov Etude op 11 no 3 - "Carillon" (difficulty rating 7.5/10) What is it with Russian composers and bells? Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Lyapunov... In any case, in stark contrast to Rachmaninov's chimes emerging from sometimes somewhat hellish soundscapes (op 39 no 7 comes to mind), Lyapunov's impression of carillons is harmonious and straightforward, a mixture of deep chimes and lighter bells...
Chopin - Nocturne op 72

A "beginner" Chopin nocturne that he published posthumously, rather famously because he thought it wasn't up to the quality of his other ones. It does seem more repetitive than the others, but a particularly gentle second theme is phenomenal nonetheless.
Kapustin - Etude op 40 no 2 Reverie
Просмотров 2329 месяцев назад
At the intersection of classical music and jazz, Kapustin was a pretty interesting composer who kept a classical sense of development while adding unique rhythmic elements to his music. This is definitely evident in his etudes particularly, especially the middle section of this second etude. Unlike in classical piano where there is some room to play with the rhythm and add rubato, Kapustin's et...

Scriabin - Etude op 8 no 11 [commentary]
Просмотров 15410 месяцев назад
Scriabin etude op 8 no 11 (difficulty rating - 5/10) A slightly tricky Scriabin etude featuring rubato, polyrhythm, and voicing, this one was one of the etudes Horowitz was best at with his superb color playing. The languishing melody somehow feels comforting along with beautiful counter melodies singing out from the middle and bass voices.

Chopin - Nocturne op 15 no 3 [commentary]
Просмотров 15011 месяцев назад
For me, this is a highly underrated nocturne that makes great use of religious overtones to express a mix of dreary loneliness, pensiveness, and comfort. It has one of the more elegant shifts in harmony along with the simple melody, showing how Chopin can express so much with something that sounds so simple.
Ravel - Miroirs [commentary]
Просмотров 512Год назад
One of Ravel's more popular works, the set "Miroirs" (or Mirrors in english) has some of my favorite of his music. Each one of the five pieces evokes a "mirror" looking into a different scene, alternating between harmonically inclined slow ambiance pieces reminiscent of Debussy, and rapid pieces requiring high technical preciseness. There are orchestral arrangements of the third and fourth piec...
Chopin - Etude op 25 no 12 [commentary]
Просмотров 661Год назад
Chopin op 25 no 12 "Ocean" (difficulty rating - 5.5/10, mastery - 7.5/10) A really satisfying piece comes to close out Chopin's etude set. We get a bunch of arpeggios that many people seem to think evoke big strong waves (hence the epithet) that flow into each other hopefully seamlessly. The same thing makes this etude not as easy as you might think. They're just arpeggios, but like op 10 no 1,...
Scriabin - Etude op 8 no 8 [commentary]
Просмотров 144Год назад
Scriabin etude op 8 no 9 (difficulty rating - 4.5/10) One of the easiest Scriabin etudes, this one is mainly about melodic phrasing with some occasional voicing practice. I like to think of it as "how well can you make a melody sing when there's other stuff going on?". Basically, try your best not to get distracted. There's also a couple lines with some 3-2 polyrhythm but they aren't nearly as ...
Chopin - Nocturne op 9 no 2 [commentary]
Просмотров 282Год назад
Chopin's most famous nocturne is a good example of how something that sounds deceptively simple is actually trickier than you'd think to make sound good. A decent level of control is necessary to keep the left hand only an accompaniment, while some practice with rubato and phrasing (again see etude op 10 no 6) helps the melody in the right hand flow. The runs must also flow easily and flawlessl...
Liszt - Mephisto Waltz no 1 S514 [commentary]
Просмотров 570Год назад
Liszt's 1st Mephisto Waltz is a programmatic work depicting (as the subtext says) a dance scene from Lenau's Faust. For those unfamiliar with the story, basically Faust is a depressed scholar who ends up making a deal with Mephistopheles the demon to gain worldly pleasures in exchange for his own soul. Liszt tried to capture that in this piece, with a "full-blooded" dance that's kind of violent...
Tchaikovsky - October (op 37a no 10)

The last of Tchaikovsky's seasons I learned was this sad autumn song. Not much to say about it except it's a short and pretty melancholic piece, like staring at the trees slowly becoming barren.

How does it compare to s.137 no.5 FF? Actually, I don't even know if s.137 FF is harder than s.139 but I'm just assuming it is since that is the theme of the s.137 etudes.
@@thecalculatedcreativecoder1428 this one is harder for me (basically almost unplayable) while 137 FF is "only" slightly harder than the 139 version. FF is def hard but it's not as crazy as people would have you think if you've learned Chopin op 10 no 2 and 25 nos 6 and 11 to a good level. on the other hand s137 in general has some passages that make you twist your hand in ungodly ways that you basically don't see anywhere else
@@maarane I need to learn more chopin etudes. I learned op.10 no.4 and op25 no.11 because I thought that they would be difficult and stretch my technic, but I realized that they were actually much easier than they looked. I don't think I am on the level of op.25 no.6 yet or op.10 no.2 though. Admittedly I haven't even tried those yet. Is there anything I can do to try to get there?
@thecalculatedcreativecoder1428 honestly to me op 10 no 2 might be the best one to start, it's the most foundational technique for a lot of finger work. start slow and do it properly going 3-4-5 on the chromatic but keeping your hand always relaxed. when you gradually speed up, the technique becomes transferrable to FF and thirds
@@maarane Thank you for the tips!!! I think I should probably develop my technique more before I give it a shot, but in when I feel like I am ready I will keep this in mind.
11:17 holy hell best explanation i've seen for that passage
@@millenniumtreasurer lol it's so memey
Nice performance! Scriabin 5 is my least favorite of his one-movement late sonatas but it's definitely a great work nonetheless.
Insane! Scriabin really had no mercy with the absurd jumps on this one.... Also it's interesting that the high register of your piano sounds so much better than the rest of the piano lmao
@@santiagocaldeira7555 lol good point maybe that mic is also just better idk
The first "baby version" is interesting too.
Good play
Underrated channel, I love the short story you made and attributed to the piece
Do op.39 no.6
@@aml-071thecosmicenderman3 sofronitsky is too good at that one lol

Its 9/10 if you gonna hold notes on left and right hand
Why don't you try kapustin-concert etude 6 and 7 ??!
haven't learned them yet
ooo, two nocturnes. Nice playing :p
why play alborado so fast? sometimes i lose the counterpoint bc my little brain can't hear all the parts at this speed...
yay my birth month :D
This is more difficult than the feux follets? The follets is often lauded as the hardest original Liszt piece.
The performer definitely believes so.

Long time no see! Love me some Lyapunov, we had a class in university that used some theorems from his mathematician brother and I always used to listen to the Piano Sextet while I studied. Criminally underrated composer in my opinion and the colours you produced here are really transcedent. Another highlight of his is the slow movement of his B Minor Sonata with the Orthodox Hymn and his Nocturne. I'd love to hear you play some more of him!
@@ΓιάννηςΚωνσταντινίδης-γ9φ I always found him pretty nice myself but the technique required is a bit tough!
You're back!
Don’t usually really listen to Lyapunov, sort of a hit or miss for me but this performance was a hit.
@@mcbuuiop thank you!
maybe you are a bit too fast
This is amazing and not the newer version ._.
4:34 to the end is my favourite part lmao
pidän vuoden 1826 versiosta (Étude en Douze Exercices No. 4) ja tämä on vielä vaikeampaa (mutta tämä on räjähdys ja pidän myös tästä versiosta)🏆
1:42 - 1:56 on suosikkiosani
5:31 to 5:52 is my fav part
how could I not found this earlier, this is my favorite interpretation of my favorite etude :D
awh thank u
Some collection of the pieces that probably work with your piano recording sound and also quite rare (if you interested in playing more pieces by different composers) part 3: Strauss II: Annen Polka Op. 117 Erik Satie: I think there are many pieces you can try actually (another choice than Ravel and Debussy) Gabriel Fauré: op 103 no 7 Mussorgsky: Une Larme Bizet-Rachmaninoff: Menuet from L'Arlesienne Suite II. for Piano Carl Maria von Weber - Grande Polonaise, Op. 21 Smetana- Maybe from Czech Dances, Book 2 Sigismond Thalberg - Romance sans paroles op. 41 no. 2 Glinka - Mazurka Poulence - Trois Novelettes pour piano Olivier Messiaen - Pièce pour le tombeau de Paul Dukas for Piano (If you interested in this style) Rameau - Le Rappel des Oiseaux Couperin - La Couperin Aram Khachaturian - Children’s Album, Book 2 no 6 Shostakovich - op 69 no 4 Stravinsky - Etude op 7 Schumann - I don't know......... maybe some of his op 16 Cesar Cui - Petit préludes Nos.1 & 2 Balakirev - Glinka/Balakirev - The Lark Borodin-Blumenfeld - Polovtsian Dance 17 from "Prince Igor" The end (This list is just alternative choice when you are want to play the less well known piece or record during the hard piece)
More than these list maybe from each nation like Spanish, Czech music.
For example, Gladiolus Rag by Scott Joplin Moisés Moleiro - Joropo Cemal Reşit Rey - On Halk Türküsü no 8 Carl Vine - The Anne Landa Preludes
Some collection of the pieces that probably work with your piano recording sound and also quite rare (if you interested in playing more pieces by different composers) part 2: Richard Wagner - Parsifal, Act I: Verwandlungsmusik (Arr. August Stradal) (Slow piece and not hard compare with another arrangement and really beautiful) Antonín Dvořák - may be a HUMORESQUE (I can imagine many numbers) Triumphal March from Aida ( Giuseppe Verdi ) Grieg- some piece from op 1 Sibelius- some piece from op 34 Prokofiev- Music for Children (may be playing tag) Saint-Saens- op 52 no 4 Bartok- Stamping Dance (Pe Loc / Topogó) - Andante Romanian Folk Dances (from Hungary)

My favorite Chopin's Nocturne.
Also sound like piano parts falling of. Too good.
.......This is true tempo of this piece. It feels like a group of leeches with a lot of salt. (Truely creepy)
It really feel like looking in the mirror by this recording.
You probably interested in some of Scriabin's preludes or his op 57. (If you interested don't take it too serious) It probably sounds nice with your recording (especially op 57).
Great playing.
Chopin is crazy indeed. I feel nausezs when listen at fast tempo. (Quarter Note= 160 bpm)
Great playing. But if play at Presto (about 112 bpm) it would be sounds qwful. Even I love Liszt but this piece is too much.
yeah the revised is way better for me musically
@@maarane Wednesday Adam’s favorite piece
sus stuff indeed
So rarely do people play ossias at 3:42
I like the contrast between the chords and the arpeggios lol
Easily one of Liszt's least interesting pieces. It was for this kind of music Liszt was regarded as shallow for many years.
Nicely done
