Amazing effects! I don't see much of the 1838 4b much on RUclips anymore, and it's nice to see it has yet to be forgotten. Apart from sacrilegious 10 hour pieces, this piece is probably one of the most technically challenging if not the most technically challenging piece.

Thank you! And yes, that is the reason that I decided to upload this one. Because there were only a few videos showing this version of the song. And as far as I know, Liszt was able to play this. It's crazy...
THE jake360 Liszt Etude 4 1838 is definitely the most difficult piano piece written. It’s even #1 on my list of hardest piano pieces. 1. Liszt - Etude 4 1838 2. Liszt - Etude 6 1838 3. Brahms - Paganini Variations 4. Sorabji - Opus Archimagicum 5. Sorabji - Clavicembalisticum 6. Liszt - La clochette 7. Mereaux - Etude 45 8. Liszt - Reminiscences de Norma 9. Xenakis - Mists 10. Xenakis - Evryali 11. Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto 3 1st mvt 12. Liszt - Etude 3 1838 13. Alkan - Piano Concerto 14. Liszt - Rondo Fantastique
I think that’s the second hardest piece in the world. First is Liszt’s transcription of Beethoven symfony 9 for piano. It sounds like this etude, but much longer, about 1 hour. This is really the most difficult piece
I'm currently attempting to learn this and... It is actually humanly possible at this speed. The key is a very light bounce and properly "shifting" the hands' weight from one side to the other, then using that shifting/momentum to bounce, or something. I'm just a couple of days in, so it's a total, total mess right now. It'll take quite some time before it's at least sorta nice and clean enough, with not too much mistakes and slips and whatnot. And if I don't become lazy. Because right now I'd rather play No Man's Sky or much, much easier piano pieces like Fur Elise.
Stringed instrument players; You can't play pizzicato, tremolo, or staccato on a piano Franz Liszt: *somehow incorporates each of those techniques into his pieces*
Lol yes it is. I never knew it until recently watching a AI midi channel play it. I burst out laughing as I really never expected it to play that part with one hand😂 liszt actually played it like that apparently. Lmao
... I’m sorry but I still don’t see how this is the hardest piece ever. Nikolai Petrov did it. Though it wasn’t at the same speed, it was taken musically, and had his interpretation put into it. With all the insane pieces out there, this one doesn’t seem as hard as it’s made out to be : /
Pretty sure the original manuscript was marked andante so an editor probably changed it to match the tempo of the original caprice. Definitely playable at andante, Liszt has much worse in that case.
Everyone: if you can play the pieces slowly, you can play it fast. Liszt: if you can play my pieces slowly... ...you'll never be able to play it quickly.
Yes, that is the genre of this work. It on of itself is still a study, a lot more interesting than any old Étude by Hanon or Czerny. But it still focuses on certain techniques in order for the pianist to perfect them.
Usually when i want to learn a piece, i play it "in air" before i even try learning it to see if i´m able to do it by stamina and speed. I have no idea how to do this one lol
If you can play it slow you can play it- Never mind- (I wanna explain the joke so bad so here it goes, basically it’s never been played the same tempo Liszt played it because it’s difficultly)
Evening Maybe, just maybe. His fingers could reach very far (13 keys), he had marfan syndrome, he was also very gifted at piano and had been playing for decades. Also it wouldn’t make sense to compose a piece that was unplayable at a tempo that didn’t sound good
He was not. People like to imagine that Liszt was this god of pianistic virtuosity and today's pianists are still catching up to him. But that's just not the case. He was a human being that lived 200 years ago. Piano technique has gotten better and better since then. Not worse. The reason people think he can play this fast is because violinist play the violin version this fast, even though it's not what Paganini intended. So when people look at the piano transcription, people don't think "maybe violinist have been playing this too fast." They conclude "Franz Liszt could play faster than any human being has played or ever will play."
Jake Engel though I agree Liszt maybe didn’t play it this fast, I had to do a lot of studying about him this year for school and from what I’ve learned he really does sound like the best piano player to ever live.
Jake Engel Liszt played all of his pieces at tempo. He did have some advantages although, he had very long fingers being able to reach the 13th interval. On top of that, he was missing ligaments in his hands helping him reach beyond the average person. He was truly something else! He played Beethoven’s hammerklavier sonata at a very very young age being the first to ever do it. He proved the impossible more times than I can count. His virtuosity was beyond comprehendible. What people though back then was impossible on the piano, Liszt did it in a heart beat. He was by farrrr the most amazing pianist to have ever lived
@@huflonier1738 no, stop spreading false information. This tempo is unrealistic. The editor put the insanely fast tempo marking. Not Liszt.

Pianistic technique has only got better from Liszt's age, and I'm pretty sure there were pianists who could've been on Liszt's technical level, or even beyond: Alkan, Godowsky, Feinberg, Tausig and Hamelin to name some.
