Liszt was a genius, to be able to compose such complex intricate works of piano music, and with such emotion and excitement. To make one instrument sound as magnificent as an entire symphony orchestra. After already enjoying the variety of his works through Fuex Follets, Wild Jagd, and Mazeppa, I also have loved his Sonata in B minor and Mephisto waltz. And now, the greatness of the two most recent pieces I've discovered are Vision and Chassé Neige. Very few others have been able to create such amazing sounds
Liszt was a genius. Not only did he compose such a large variety of very complex and intricate piano music, but he created pieces which have brought out such feelings, emotions, and excitement all wrapped up in one. I've already loved Liszt's Fuex Follets, Wild Jagd, and Mazeppa. I've loved his Hungarian Rhapsodies. I've loved his Mephisto waltz and Sonata in B minor (the latter, a very long piece, but with many beautiful parts no less). And the two most recent greats of his I've discovered are Vision and Chassé Neige. Very few others were born with such a gift for creating sounds so amazing
Try also Rhapsodie espagnole by Maria Grinberg, and Harmonies poétiques et religieuses ! Many Années de pèlerinage are beyond beautiful (Vallée d'Obermann (Horowitz), Après une lecture de Dante, Sonetto del Petrarca (3 of them), Jeux d'eau à la Villa d'Estes (Cziffra), Aux cyprès de la Villa d'Estes)... and many beautiful transcriptions such as Beethoven symphonies, and paraphrases: Rigoletto, Don Juan, etc.
Somehow this music is very emotional for me. Especially at the 04:10. I feel the devastation. The genius of Liszt to wrap this 'sad' music in a cramp inducing tremolo motif
Love how you put that into words: seductive and intoxicating strains. I'm gonna steal that :) It's what I play when I'm feeling sombre. Also Schubert D959 Andantino
Liszt was a genius, not only for creating such complicated works of piano music, but also to the way he creates feelings out of the music. Chassé Neige definitely does that. Another amazing piece of his is his Mephisto waltz, some amazing sounding works of feeling, emotion, and excitement. If you haven't heard that one yet, I strongly recommend it
There are plenty of good recordings of Liszt's masterful etudes, yet for me no one tops Ovchinnikov for the overall set, and his Chasse-Neige in particular is unrivaled. Simply sublime.
Such a hauntingly beautiful interpretation of this piece. It seems to flow where other renditions might become choppy (so to speak). Vladimir Ovchinnikov captures the intense emotion and grandeur of the piece while still maintaining the subtle wonder and (perhaps), melancholy in Liszt's writing. And oh man! The ending. The quiet yet powerful intensity of the arpeggiated chords at the finish of the piece really evoke emotion in a way I haven't heard in other recordings. All in all, a fantastic performance!
I just listened to Kirill Gerstein's version (Published on Mar 11, 2015 Pianist Kirill Gerstein Plays Liszt's Transcendental Etude No. 12 in the WQXR Studio.) Liked it but went hunting for other pianists because of that choppy bounce you mention. This is much smoother. How amazing it would have been to know Liszt himself!
Этот нотный текст для Листа и равных ему. Исполнение невероятно выразительное при такой сложной фактуре! Пианист огромного дарования и мастерства!!! Браво!!!
He did. But, the sounds that Liszt has created are amazing. Sometimes, and in some ways, it's good to be messed with a little bit. And, each one of Liszt's pieces mess with us in different ways. Some are shorter but sweet such as La Campanella, Liebestrom, and his Transitional Etudes. Others are longer but made me feel like I was traveling through a long exciting adventure, such as Mephisto waltz and Sonata in B minor (the latter being around 30 minutes long, but worth it due to so many beautiful and exciting parts). Then, I can't forget his famous Hungarian Rhapsodies (the most famous Rhapsody #2 still reminds me of Tom and Jerry (first time hearing it was when I was about 7 when watching the cartoon)). And, I've developed a fondness for classical music since I was about 8
@@alvexok5523 Thank you for your reply. I was mainly joking around, as I love Liszt's music, though I'm a little more into Chopin than Liszt. I can only play a couple of Liszt's pieces so far (Consolation No. 3 and Liebestraum No. 3), but one of my goals in life is to be able to play his Transcendental Études and his Three Concert Études.
Not at all (I caught the joke). Actually it was for him within a greater goal: develop the sounds and poetry and language of piano. He is not interested by showing off and making pianists' life difficult. On the contrary, he simplified the 18 études (from 1837 edition to 1851's) for more playability and more musical qualities, the 12 transcendentals and the 6 after Paganini's, several of which had several versions. It was also a way to carry his legacy of the technique he developed, that do not derive from Czerny anymore, and goes beyond Chopin's études, which derive from Bach and have a more classical form, by being poetic artworks, sometimes programmatic (eg., Mazeppa), and sometimes extremely contemporary (eg., modes transitions and overlaps in Feux-follets), despite the global harmonic "basicness" compared to other of his works for the time he did the last revision (1841), partly because it was also a legacy he started at 13 years old (the exercices version, Ricordanza being barely touched).
Alas, it's difficult for average viewers to understand romantic pieces. Baby Shark has a catchy rhythm - hence why it's popular across a young demographic - while this piece has a lot going on and takes an experienced listener to appreciate the piece. Let me give an example: the part in E major is simply the main theme shifted to that key. A simple change, yet an absolutely stunning effect of changing the landscape. I never noticed until a while after, all because I was astonished by the sudden change in atmosphere.
It’s the fast but accurate chromatic scale from the bass section to middle section that sounds quite thunderous capturing the immense wind energy from a snowstorm 💨🌨️🌊
@Barone Vitellio Iago Here I can clearly see two morons who only know Op. 599, 299 and 740 of Czerny, Op. 365, 399, 400, 756, 822, 837 and 856 of Czerny are far superior to any Etude de Liszt and Chopin in difficulty and musicality, i'm really annoying because Czerny has works more difficult than the 12 Etudes of Liszt and ignorant people just think he has works for beginners so please educate yourself a little before speaking
@@czeynerpianistproducercomp7155 you cannot compare Chopin and Liszt etudes with Czerny. Please. Chopin Liszt are concert etudes. Czerny was a great pedagoge and these are very nice instructive etudes for high grade. Some are sure ideal for concerts.. your comparison is like haydn has 104 symphonies and Beethoven "only" 9. But those 9 such like big bang..have defintely changed the history.

I think Feux Follets is the consensus most difficult transcendental etude. Mazeppa/Chasse-Neige are probably interchangeable for 2nd, depending on one's own pianistic strengths.
@@arielrojas7179 , both Fuex Follets and Chassé Neige have long continuous strings of sixty-fourth notes and require very speedy fingers. Mazeppa and Wild Jagd (the latter being one I've been working on) are bigger on big chords and fewer long continuous sixty-fourth notes, which has made it easier for me since speedy fingers has been my weakness, like I've always been a slow typer and have found it difficult to type the required words per minute that many computer or secretary jobs require. So I agree, which piece is more difficult depends on the individual learning it
lol no, if anything this is easy. no 5 is hardest. no 4 a little less hard but still very difficult. after them i guess would come no 8 and 10, and this would be after them iml earning this, its easy
About to use this (my friends recoding of it) in a film store. Liszts Transcendental etudes are some of those magical and epic pieces of all time for me. You can here Paganini's influence as well
@karlo wolf 5 years late or not, I'm having the same problem. The 6 vs. 5 is so annoying. It's possible to get away with not doing it exactly, but I don't want to cut corners.
Greer Fried and I worked out polyrhythmia with the help of a metronome. he allegedly beat off the same durations and for these durations, with each hand separately, I tried to fit exactly 5/6/7 notes. then, when the text was learned, I played with both hands. at a fast tempo, any polyrhythmia is very easy to play.

When chromatic scales appear (especially 3:00 onwards), somehow, I think of Alkan's Le Vent (Op. 15/2).
You're absolutely right alkan dedicated that piece to liszt and liszt liked it a lot so he included it in his revised(transcendental)etudes.
Alkan dedicated this piece to Liszt, that used some ideas on Chasse Neige and also on Ballade no.2
Fantastically played and interpreted.
