Thalberg - Grande fantaisie sur la Sérénade et le Menuet de 'Don Juan' - Cyprien Katsaris Piano

This is Sigismond Thalberg's (1812-1871) Op. 42 on themes by Mozart. It was composed in 1841. The album this is from separates this piece into two tracks, which I combined for this video. At 6:47 in the video is where the second track begins.
NOTE: From 10:27-13:51 in the video different sheet music had to be used. The better looking sheet music before and after that was missing several pages.
Update (May 21, 2020): When this was first posted it was blocked in 244 countries. That restriction appears to have been lifted.

A great example of Thalberg’s famous 3-hand effect 7:21

[@marcalexandrefontenay9801]

Thalberg a composé de nombreuses transcriptions d’opéras comme Liszt puisque c’était la seule façon de se remémorer les airs entendus à l’époque et de briller lors de concerts de salon . Katsaris signe ici de son talent une merveilleuse interprétation !

The shimmering runs at the finale (13:51) with the Minuet is absolutely beautiful. Although shamefully an underwhelming coda, buildup could've been more ecstatic, which can lead to a more cathartic climax. A fault that is by no means Katsaris' fault, whom has performed gracefully here, he really made the finale shine.

Underrated in every aspect.

[@musiclover148]

Peculiar. Intriguing, almost mesmerizing in its own way at first hearing, but peculiar.

この作品がいつ出来たのかは知らないが後半のフレーズがアルカンに見られるものだったので関係が気になりました。それにしても素晴らしい作品だ👏👏👏👏👏👏

1841

Didn't like the piece much, but the section at 10:43 is pretty nice 😊

[@IanMatthewGray]

Indeed.

[@musiclover148]

Agree.

I wish I could get a MIDI for this piece. (Does anyone have a MIDI for this, or know where I can find a MIDI for this piece?)

[@pjbpiano]

There are midi converters around.

[@prammar1951]

there is one video with a midi on bili bili website. I can't post links but if you searched there you will find the video and maybe you can ask for the midi from the creator. The video was a comparison between this, thalbergs op 14 and liszt's don juan fantasy.

Does someone know the first theme at the beginning of the fantasia? 1:22

[@pianomaly9]

Variation of the Serenade??

[@maks2r513]

This better than Liszt's Don juan

[@mobilephil244]

Nope. Can say categorically.

[@МаркБикеев-ф7ъ]

+Absolutely

[@МаркБикеев-ф7ъ]

​@@mobilephil244 I would object.

[@benjaminsawyer1292]

That is simply false. This is very pretty, but is nowhere near close to the Genius of what Liszt does with Don Juan. RUclips is not the space to debate this, but a proper study of the two works would clearly show that Liszt outshines Thalberg in this piece.

[@Chorizo727]

Yes 100%. Liszt’s Don Juan is fine in its own right, but it’s too heavy and over-bombastic.

Liszt was basically the greatest innovator of piano music during the 19th century. Your opinion is very biased
