Some good choices on this list. Although IMO the most glaring omission has got to be the ending of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Sonata No.2. The coda is incredibly virtuosic and full of energy and then ends with the interlocking descending chords all the way down the keyboard followed with the recurrent motif from the piece played one last time in thunderous and triumphant fashion.
it's a BIG show work FOR sure... it works best when the pianist has the "seductive" element to the work as well... most only play the "technical" aspects very well...
Yeah, I'd definitely put Scherzo 3 in this list now, for sure!! The coda is beyond amazing. I don't know Ginastera sonata, I will listen to it, thanks!
Nice compilation. Thanks for the entertainment. Perhaps for your next video I can inspire you to include HOROWITZ'S remarkable octaves in the final bars of the black note etude or the finale few bars of his Carmen variations.
Where's Le Chemin De Fer by Alkan? edit: some other of his stuff like Op. 33 quatres ages sonata first movement (20 ans i think?) and his le preux should also be included in the next video
Some more Alkan suggestions: "Les Quatre Ages" 2nd movement (Quasi-Faust): IMO that sonata's best movement. IMO the 1st movement is rather poor: repetitive and too reminiscent of Chopin's B minor Scherzo. Symphonie Finale op39 no7 Concerto Finale op39 no10 I found Le chemin de fer rather disappointing.
@@rosiefay7283 I agree with you, 2nd Mvt. is perhaps the best. I haven't listened to it at this time if I remember correctly. But what I mean by the 1st Mvt. would be the Finale, and not the whole piece, and yes it's really repetitive and understanding it's melody is quite difficult in my opinion. The Finale of the 1st Mvt. in the Sonata struck me the most, it was just really epic; expressing virtuosity and musicality at the same time in a very efficient way. The Symphonie is really good too, the 3rd Mvt. Concerto is one of my personal favorite Piano Concerto Mvts ever made next to Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto 1st Mvt. With Le Chemin de Fer, may I know why? I respect your preferences, but I'm only curious.
Nicel Collection! 2 little things: I think Yuja Wang's Prokofiev's Toccata much better/more epic (and live video): prJ0o_0gRfU I miss an another (19 years old) Yuja Wang's video (Mozart-Volodos Turkish March): 1m-4qFnAG7Y
@@FredericChopin-if5rn True, but tnere are many others that are as wonderful as these, yet people don't care about exploring unknown composers and works. It's a shame.
@@FredericChopin-if5rn Actually, no. They're not popular for any reason. Just like Fur Elise, Pachelbel's Canon, and all those insignificant pieces that, for some reason, exploded in popularity. This list consists of only mainstream composers (Where are Medtner, Alkan, Feinberg, Godowsky?) and these pieces are of no relevance in their oeuvre (except for Appassionata). If a piece by Liszt was going to be included, why La Campanella? It pales if you compare it to a Transcendental Etude or his sonata, which are also very popular, but much greater. People are so lazy and so ignorant for not wanting to explore more of the repertoire and staying still to the same 10 pieces that everyone knows and everyone has heard for over 100 times. It pisses me off.
@@GTXTi-db5xu I liked "early" Kissin... those Chopin Concertos when he was just a boy are astonishing... he "use to play with more "abandonment" as well... a Little to "refined" now a-days (Don't get me wrong, he's still way up there with the GREATS! )
Hi everyone, I just uploaded part 2! ruclips.net/video/7wwcpRdABMA/видео.html enjoy and don't forget to subscribe ;)
That Barenboim performance will always be a classic.
Chopin - Etude op. 10 n.4 c’est d’une puissance incroyable
Hâte de t’entendre la jouer à ce tempo un jour haha !
Et je trouve ça incroyable qu’avec un pied dans la tombe Barenboim puisse jouer avec une telle intensité
Je sais pas si je pourrai la jouer comme ça un jour, mais ce serait super oui haha !
C’est mon étude préférée, elle est époustouflante
la version de Frédéric chiu en particulier est ma préférée - même si gryaznov est excellent évidemment

And here’s a performance of the coda for anyone not familiar with it. ruclips.net/video/O1d97quSaIE/видео.html
Thank you for your comment!
Alkan's piano concerto has the most epic finale.
same with his symphony!
Both are etudes not concertos.
@@coralreef909 not really, it has the FORM of concert and symphony
Maybe but this video is about piano solo pieces
@@artrubenkaljund3660 It is solo piece
Actual fucking crime that Reminiscences de Don Juan is not on here...
Facts
9th, 14th Liszt's rhapsodies :) Balakirev's Toccata :) Hamelin's 12th etude and many-many more...
it's a BIG show work FOR sure... it works best when the pianist has the "seductive" element to the work as well... most only play the "technical" aspects very well...
Very nice list!
For a part 2 Blumenfeld’s concert etude and Liszt’s transcendental etude in A-minor might be nice additions :)
All... Legendary performances!
Schuman - Fantasiestücke, Op. 12: 2. Aufschwung
C'est génial, mais en plus je le joue !
liszt's méphisto valse no. 1. the final part is insane!!!
@@hermeschibifan6531 I put it in part 2!
Chopin scherzo 2 or 3 instead of his waltz it would be my list but amazing choices. I must to hear more Prokofiev. Check it out Ginastera sonata 1
Yeah, I'd definitely put Scherzo 3 in this list now, for sure!! The coda is beyond amazing. I don't know Ginastera sonata, I will listen to it, thanks!
@@aFrenchPianist it's a GREAT work!
@@aFrenchPianist horacio lavandera recording is the most respecctfully to the composer recording Iam pretty sure of that
Missed Liszts S139 Transcendental in F minor there tbh
Now the Beat Quark Quadrant past Form Sonic unleashed
So glad torrent is on here
It had to ;)
frrrrr
Love seeing Kissin at the Proms
one of the BEST live concerts ever!
Liszt - Paganini étude 6 mérite sa place, non ? (et le preux par Alkan aussi)
Muchas gracias CLASIC MUSIC. 🧨🧨❤️🩹🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🇮🇷🧨🧨🧨🧨
This is the top 10 of someone who’s barely listened to classical music in their lives
Sure, but who cares?
Nah, I also stil enjoy the standard pieces. You can’t judge people by that..
Nice compilation. Thanks for the entertainment. Perhaps for your next video I can inspire you to include HOROWITZ'S remarkable octaves in the final bars of the black note etude or the finale few bars of his Carmen variations.
Great ideas, thanks!
love Kissin so much
Liszt Reminiscences de Lucrezia Borgia, trio du second acte has the most epic finale in my opinion

No Hammerklavier?
Would be a nice addition indeed, I should make a part 2!

This is like watching p*rn and the guy is finishing up ....

i love more Kia Liu for Prokovief n 8 but great anyways
