Liszt Fever: Misha Dichter on Why Franz Liszt is a “Towering Genius”

I enjoyed this--thank you for sharing it! My only "objection" to what Mr. Dichter had to say was in regard to performing/recording Rachmaninoff. That since we have recordings of Rachmaninoff himself playing his own works, if here were to record/perform the composer-pianist's works, that he would try to duplicate as far as possible exactly what Rachmaninoff did in his own recordings. As impossible as that would be, practically speaking, it also seems like that would be a sterile undertaking. If a performer has nothing of their to "say" via their own interpretation of a given score, then that makes for lifeless performances. With the exception of, say, Ravel, would said that he felt that instrumentalists should be slaves to the printed score, I think most composers welcome hearing new interpretations of their music, even if they differ (and sometimes maybe even because they differ) from their own. I'm interested in hearing what individual pianists "have to say" in their personal takes in various pieces of music. That's a large part of the enjoyment of listening to music--to hear the differences from performer to performer. Switching topics, I remember many years ago in a book of pianist interviews, Mr. Dichter enthused greatly on Schumann's music, and that he felt that Schumann was a a greatly original composer, more original than even Chopin. Regardless of any comparison to Chopin's music, I appreciated his appreciation for Schumann's music! I only wish I could play more of it. If only we could be outfitted with hands that work well at the piano!
A ciencia, apenas ela, nao sustenta toda causa experimental pela qual o homem pode passar.
Pierce sabia que a realidade aparente tem sustentacao independente daquela que sustenta a realidade derivada de processo racional. Descartes é a sustentacao.
O pensamento é responsavel pelas estabelecomento das relaçoes entre os simbolos seleciosados pela razão necessarios na transformacao das funcões simbolicas.
A ciencia é um istrumento a ser usado como guia para o sujeito na busca de sua contribuicao ao conhecimento a partir do sentimento na arte de selecionar e transformar o simbolo a que esse sentimento está univocamente representado.
Plato não disse o que vc disse que ele falou!!!!
Fantastic interview! I really enjoyed it!
Don’t forget the fountains at the villa d’este!
Loved your lecture but hated your piano. Thx. for sharing with all of us.
In racist America you talk like there was something normal about his life!❤
A complete misnomer as this is not about Mendelssohn's role at all, he is hardly mentioned,
Great stuff! Well done Misha. Spoken from the heart. Liszt wrote so much great and varied music. His transcriptions alone are fabulous. His Sonata, Etudes, Years of Pilgrimage, Liebestraume, one could go on and on.
Bonjour, quel portrait si vivant de cet artiste énigmatique, à la fois complexé par la noirceur de sa peau, intelligent, comédien, frimeur mais profondément timide, victime autant que vainqueur de ses démons, souvent immoral mais hypersensible, doté d’une oreille musicale hors-pair, d’un goût très sûr, si seul dans son spendide isolement, bref un personnage aux multiples facettes, d’une incroyable richesse...merci vraiment, Quincy Troupe, de nous l’avoir enfin dévoilé et permis de l’aimer encore mieux !
He says the existence of thoughts conecting all units constituints of the Unity to be. Right!!
He used to drink the sort of empiric things! Surprise!!
The curves of life must accept the meaning of life of Peirce !!! But life is not to be refuted, Good luck!!!
The example is not valid as pertinent of a philosophal argument because not to change linguage along the same process
Duns Scott is correct: The notion of existence is non sense, without one that is existencior.
Well ! It is a matter of one's fluxe of thinking !!! One feels better standing close to materialism than others.
Who knows! Science is not enogh! Social science also is need !
It starts in this video with one of the last Goldberg variations.....
so much clearer than any of the other explanations on RUclips! Thank you.
Ed is my grandfather, he passed a few years ago. Thank you for uploading this. It is a great comfort hear his voice.
Hi grandpa. I wrote a white paper for work in reference to your evidence based intelligence study, for Protection Warfighting military professionals. I hope it makes a difference someday. I also broke one of Pat's perfume bottles while I was cleaning my bathroom. I cried, but it smells like her. I love you. I miss you.
I hope with all my heart that this music and level of intellectualism never gets forgotten by future generations. We seem to be entering a period of 'idiocracy' among artists and audience. There's no money in classical music and fewer people are studying and playing 'proper' instruments.
Beethoven playing the WTK at 13 (So, around 1783) was an enormous achievement.
Maybe it’s because I’m high but 56:37 is very funny to me. Seriously loling
Those white trumpeters became lawyers and bankers.😮😮😮
He had 20 children in total, I heard.
Did they have 6 8 time back then.in JS Bach's time?
Mozart was Austrian from Salzburg
Mozart was and his entire family were German.
Double counterpoint! sounds complex!
Wunderbar.. Todah rabbah
Counterpoint isn't easy!
Is C m (minor).equal to E flat major, then? Can C minor be Harmonic or Melodic? Or does it even matter?
H?
Was the late Mr Rosen Jewish or German or both? RIP Charles Rosen.
Materialism continues to blind us; even a brilliant scientist of the stature of Sir William Crookes was not able to convince his colleagues and the so called learned and civilized world.
The answer rests on the re-encarnation of the soul along with the other Eternal Laws that govern humanity.
I played many years ago for Charles Rosen in a piano workshop in college. He was very complimentary and I appreciate that more than the years I spent at the University.
Fascinating interview with the author of Miles' "autobiography"! However, whoever put the photos in didn't know anything about Miles' life. His first time in France in 1949 he fell in love with Juliette Greco, as Quincy said, but they had a photo of him with Jeanne Moreau from 1958. Then when Quincy is talking about Miles "pimping" they show a photo of him with Margerite Eskeridge, a Choctaw woman who bore his third son, Evan! Really disrespectul!
excellent.
Wow, way too short. Are there more videos of him talking? I have been playing Bach for 50 years and learned so much from this half hour. So many interesting facts I never knew, the Italian Concerto and French Overture were related, I wondered why they seemed apart from the other works. I knew every piece he played after 3 notes and still learned so much. The final of the Matthew Passion is a serenade??? Wow that is just mind blowing, I love Virgil Fox playing it on the organ now I must find a piano transcription. I think I must just listen to it again, I love stories of Bach, he wrote so much for every instrument with such genius. I just discovered the cantatas 6 months ago after years of knowing Bach I thought. I am just floored with them, sometimes on a walk I just stop and listen to this greatness even though I don't understand the German it is like I still know what it is about, joy, pain, etc. After years of not answering the question of who is the greatest composer, I would say there are a lot of great composers, I now know Bach is the greatest and the real question is who is the 2nd greatest?
A sarabande, not a serenade
40 years ago I saw an interview with him and I think it was 60mins and never been struck by someone so absolutely, I didn't know anything about Miles then bought your book. Miles introduced to me his swagger and mind blowing music to my life. Thank you for this and of course Miles! What a person to walk this earth in our time! A Beethoven / Bach level with really important ideas of how you should carry yourself. Ultimate confidence in the constant pursuit of excellence? Yes, and really the journey of normal life distractions, and he kept going back to the life passion and getting better.
I have problem understanding “Bach didn’t understand the human rot”? What is he saying, help please 🙏🏻
The human HEART.
I had the privilege of growing up in NYC in the 50’s and seeing Miles at Birdland many times and at Newport Jazz Festival and around the city. This is an incredible piece. Thank you Quincy!
Vielen Dank !
Somehow around 16:09 the voice stops...
And subtitles?
The quodlibet of the Goldbergs is exactly as Rosen describes- whatever you please (Latin). It is an incredible variation that has one of the most pleasing, “popular” tunes of Bach’s own inception. It is the first one my son has tried to play, from hearing all my attempts at a collection of these master inventions.
