Hmm, very quickly after Bach's part finishes the music turns atonal (well not really but its not tonal anymore), lol. I would have preferred if Busoni stuck to tonal harmonies, some of the stuff I hear simply does not make sense (even less sense than Prokofiev, where I can still somehow hear where things are going)

If recantation true, then he was definitely bach

Nice compilation but a slight cavaet to your description of Wagner 'was a arrogant anti-semite' yet he employed Herman Levi a son of a Rabbi to conduct his whole Wagner repertoire and including Parsifal. A warm relationship developed and at the end Herman Levi was one of the pole bearers of Wagner's coffin. Hardly a behaviour of an arrogant anti-semite...?

Pachelbel's Canon in D is the most beautiful melody ever written.

Wow everything from Handel and Bach to John Adams and Phillip Glass. Where is John Williams?? Lol what a compilation! Thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏

Not piano but Sorabji Organ Symphony no. 2 Finale deserves mentioning just because: - 6 voices (increases to 7 or 8 in the codas) - 3 subjects, each about a full minute in length and each appearing in four versions (normal, inverted, reversed, reversed and inverted) with their own development sections - FIFTEEN countersubjects: 5 per subject, one for each minute-long entry of each exposition. It plays for about 1.5 to 2 hours and sounds about as incomprehensible as you'd expect.

Liszt y est un peu réduit... son javelot a pourtant bien dépassé les nuages de sa période "one man show"... Bagatelle sans tonalité, Nuages gris, Am grabe R W, les deux Gondoles lugubres, l'Oratorio Christus, Ad nos ad salutarem undam, Évocation à la Chapelle Sixtine, et son B A C H..... L'année Liszt avait permis de faire sortir la grandeur de magyar-tzigane-français "Don Juan parvenu" de la caricature imposée par les banquiers-musicologues qui doivent peut-être trouver le personnage génial mais agaçant. On peut penser qu'il faut résolument caricaturer Franz Liszt pour pouvoir le dénigrer. C'est mesquin.

I recently discovered the 'Eroica' 30:10 and I'm blown away. Best transition I've heard in any musical piece ever. Best melody idk, but as far as transitions go it's literally unbelievable.

History briefs on the right side is SOOO DOOOPE lol

I understand that we each have a different taste in music. Handel's "Messiah" is obviously his greatest work and the "Hallelulah" chorus is his best work. Why wouldn't you choose this? Just curious.

While I think the Kaiser-Walzer is a solid choice, Tales From The Vienna Woods just presents such a beautiful melody and definitely outshines the other Strauss II waltzes in my book

no mention of Erich Korngold

Wait, the same back alley eye doctor took out Handel _and_ Bach? Mind. Blown.

31:09 Weber’s Andante and Hungarian Rondo has a banger melody in it

Ascoltata più volte, anche dal vivo nella versione per due pianoforti. Più bella da guardare che non da ascoltare, come certe fughe di Reger. Comunque complimenti per l'esecuzione e l'analisi.

whats up with the weird sheet music change at 39:59?

gotta include Satie's Fugue de Papier from en habit de cheval!

Thank you for the great bibliographical and archival work to show us hidden and unknown jewels of pino virtuosity !😊🤩

Enjoyed watching this over the pan of few days, feels like an achievement to me! Although feeling a bit sad about some names that didn’t make it, I can’t complain when such an effort was taken!

Eh, I’ll stick to driving buses.

Man, Richter plays Feux d'artifice fast as f*ck!

No pachelbel?

playback speed 0.75 if you want to hear closer to what to the pieces should actually sound like

So half the composers are from the 20th century and we got no Joaquín Rodrigo? The Concierto de Arajuez surely has a better melody than half of the modernist experimental composers here. Also if you were going that route might as well include Vangelis, Jean Michelle Jarre, John Williams or Ennio Morricone...

Ma che cazzo andate dicendo.

This is just genius!

The Feinberg 3 fugue should be rated 8 or 8+ instead of 8++. In fact, although the famous "impetuoso" section is extremely difficult to play perfectly, one can simply use the pedal to produce a whirl of sound, which is a quite effective way to interpret the piece. I have done this many times when playing the 3rd mvt and it masks the numerous minor mistakes that I make :D

Fun fact: the entire second half of the Messiaen (the part marked Reprise rétrogradée) is just what it says. A complete reversal of the entire first half, note for note. The whole thing is a palindrome.

Without Zaderatsky's fugues, the list does not seem exhaustive enough.

In my opinion the list of _"Major Composers"_ is incomplete without Andrew Lloyd Webber, Ennio Morricone, Karel Svoboda and John Williams

Ginastera’s Milonga may be one of the purest melodies I have ever heard😊

others: 2 voice to 3 voice is fine Alkan: 8 VOICE

3.75 hrs. of exquisite beauty with no commercials. I paint as I listen. Yeah, Hindemith sounds like a falling cudgel.

Awesome... I immediately recognized the Szymanowski sonata in the thumbnail. A rather restrained performance here, but still gave me goosebumps.

45:12 여기 부분은 1악장아닌가요? 3악장으로 잘못 표기되어있는거 같네요

This went above and beyond what I expected. Just putting the songs in chronological order is impressive, but you've delved into the history of each as well! Amazing work.

I love this video so much. It's good to keep my memory fresh for each of the 100 concertos which, of course, I learned.

Not that hard, I could start to play any of these after a few hours ... quite easy

This is great, thank you, I discovered many things, especially for the late 20th century which I'm less familiar with. But honestly, no BIZET ??? I'm disappointed ;) He is such a great melodist, Carmen, l'Arlésienne, les pêcheurs de perles....

Wish there was a playlist / video with all these works

Missing John Williams, the most widely listened to and therefore wealthiest classical composer in history.

Great! But TOO MUCH TOZER not enough Hamelin

Motherfucker, u nailed it!!

Yes, it's impossible to have an opinion as to Ennio Morricone's greatest melody. Sigh...😅

Hindemith! Her damit! Weg damit!

This is probably a point that only someone with such a deep understanding of counterpoint can reach.

thumbnail changed?
