Liszt Fever: Misha Dichter on Why Franz Liszt is a “Towering Genius”
One of the most singularly talented pianists of all time, Franz Liszt (1811-1886) dominated the musical world of the 19th century. An unrivaled virtuoso who also composed his own music, Liszt laid the bedrock for the Late Romantic and Impressionistic schools that would follow him. To this day he is considered a musical genius who ranks alongside his contemporaries Chopin and Schumann as one of history’s most influential musicians.

Revealing Intimacy: Michael Patrick Gillespie on James Joyce’s Profound Sense of the Human Condition
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?
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.
Rosen said the 6-voice fugue must have been written for the piano. He didn’t really explain why/he tried to but I was still confused. If anything I would suggest it was quite the reverse: proper voicing of a 6-part fugue is generally beyond anyone for two-hand keyboard. I wish I could have spoken with him (the more I heard the more I wished to hear). The fugal (interval voicing) insights he presented are an example of his musical sense because I haven’t heard them before. The Black Pearl. How precious is one life.
Watching it again I now think his point was that Bach didn’t write the parts in an impossible range for two hands. Right. Well, to achieve proper independence I’m still not surprised that most directors prefer to hear it with an ensemble.
50 years after his death he was published… not before? Take note all composers out there… just keep going; don’t depend on fame. Integrity will out.
Was that Schiff’s Goldbergs at the start?
That Was So Very Thoughtful Insight on One of Our Legends who was an Icon and Genius ! The Great Miles Davis who Stood and Moved as a MAN during his Life . ❤ 🔥🙌💪💯
not a word about mendelshon,siǃly
I saw him play Beethoven’s Sonata 29 and Diabelli Variations. He spoke about each piece to any listeners who came up to piano at intermission. Very interesting.
I was privileged to hear Charles Rosen in the early eighties in Hamilton , Ont. Canada where h played some Schumann and Beethoven. I was able to speak to him after at a post concert reception and mentioned that I was learning the Stravinsky Serenade in A for piano, inspired by his recording of that piece. He was so accommodating and generous and , just like this video shows, completely unpretentious in his manner. I will always treasure the memory of my encounter with this great musician and human being.
Listening to Misha Dichter's records from the 1970s, the Schumann, the Liszt, the Beethoven, reveals a gem of a pianist. Dichter is underrated. You may not find his name among Kissin, Pollini, Hamline, but he is their equal.
Yes 👍
hi
reject tonality, interesting? Regarding his first comment BS obvoiusly
Can we please give Goethe some credit? (I found out about that during my own research. Here is a summary by ChatGPT) Yes, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the renowned German writer and polymath, played a role in Mendelssohn's discovery of Bach's music. Mendelssohn's encounter with Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" was indeed facilitated by Goethe. In 1829, Mendelssohn visited Goethe in Weimar, and during his stay, Goethe suggested that Mendelssohn perform Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" in Berlin. Goethe was familiar with Bach's music and recognized its significance, and he believed that Mendelssohn, with his talent and enthusiasm, could help reintroduce Bach's works to a wider audience. Mendelssohn took Goethe's suggestion seriously and organized the performance of the "St. Matthew Passion" upon his return to Berlin. This event marked the beginning of Mendelssohn's lifelong dedication to promoting Bach's music and cemented his own reputation as a leading figure in the Bach revival movement of the 19th century. So, while Mendelssohn's rediscovery of Bach's music was his own initiative, Goethe's encouragement and support were instrumental in making it happen.
Very nice, but when are you going to pay me for the audiobook I recorded two years ago???
Impressive intellectual display. I have never heard anybody speaking about JS Bach so brilliantly, and playing the music on top of that.
Magnificent overview of the life of a man who has so improved my life as a scientist.
Glenn Gould did some amazing performances of Art of Fugue on the piano. Moscow in 1957 for one.
the evolution between birth of the cool to on the corner spans 25 years in human comprehension but represents light years in astronomical terms.
Miles is NOT my favorite Jazz cat. Not even by a country MILE! But he IS the jazz artist I know MOST about! That’s because of the internet, folks! I can’t even turn the motherfucker on without being reminded of Miles Davis and his music! This happens DAILY!!!
I love Rom Harré's admiration of Wittgenstein's thinking. I too love Wittgenstein's thinking.
Wow, I could just listen for hours. Thank you so much for sharing!
I’m sorry but I can see exactly why miles would lose competitions against people that had legit technique. He hated wynton because wynton had it.
❤
Vivat Herr J.S.Bach !
Very similar to Prince, who redefined his music many times over
Mmmmmmm, whatever.
Truly excellent! Anyone else noticed how eerily different Bach looks in every portrait? It’s like completely different people. His eyes, mouth, everything changes from one to the other.
Did he play in Philadelphia what time
No. How can you explore thinking without language? He's got it back to front. The brain is a vessel for the mind both in consciousness and unconsciousness but it is language that allows me and McGinn to express himself arse-ways.
My grandfather is one of the best story tellers I’ve ever heard. I love listening to these stories.
He could speak on almost any topic in the arts, knew the classical music literature intimately, and had a fantastic knowledge of German and French literature from the later 18th and early 19th century. His powers of extemporization were legendary. I remember being with a group of students at a restaurant in Chicago's Chinatown where he was talking about how the Romantic musical ideal was related to the interest in classical ruins all over Europe; that works by Schumann, for example, sometimes resemble shards. I asked what he thought about the start to the Brahms Rhapsody Op. 79 no. 2, where the opening seems to start "in medias res." Charles took a paper napkin and scrawled out the chord symbols and chord degrees to show how the opening played into the tonality of the whole piece, then laughed as he remarked that Beethoven had gotten some heat over his first symphony because the first chord was a dominant 7th. (I still have the napkin--it's a bookmark for my copy of "The Romantic Generation.")
Agreed
The great alchemist, Miles Davis. Thank you Quincy Troupe for CONCEPTUALISING the mercurial air sign of the Gemini. 'The man with the horn'. Spirited and knowing. Timeless. Salute!
I loved the story about Mr. Miles .... to hear the namrs cold train just blow my mine....these players was doinh my mother and uncle era! I wastn" born, but at tje age of 12 my uncle introduce me to the Miles, Brook Benton, Dianh Washinton....thank you Quincy for the story.
Thank you for this wonderful tribute to lizst. For me Lizst is the greatest complete musician who ever lived. The love and appreciation of Lizst has been with me my whole life. My 96 year old mother as a child studied piano with one of Liszt last students.
Great story
Very good🇺🇸✡️✝️
Charles rosen
Superb
Well, surely, God calls on us to participate in his everlasting art of… in time, Bach did ‘some work’ to project some of it, I believe… influenced by M Luther u.a., so this vid. is of high importance, educ.
Nice. I remember that William James recognised the unconscious in his book Varieties of religious experience, where he showed that some mind procedures can affect the religious conversion and change the whole personality of a man. Cognitive and behavioural psychotherapy is empirically supported. More than any other.
Myles had perfect pitch so evry sound he heard was a musical note. This video was so interesting from a guy who really knew Miles..
Miles Davis & Chet Baker, fantastico !
