@@gentlemancroc3767 my favorite band wrote a song so hard they almost couldn’t play it in studio let alone live, then Polyphia has a song so hard that they can barely play it
4:05 - 4:09 imo is the most beautiful and entrancing part of the entire composition, it is played to perfection to the point where you can hear the first three chords resonate at the perfect volume. Idk if anyone will see this comment but from the first time I heard it I will continue to be amazed. This is the truest form of musical beauty
@Tranhoang Long The S.140 version is the unrevised version of La Campanella, although it's much more harder than this, it's entirely possible just not on tempo.
I keep thinking, is it something he wrote to prove people wrong? Like, "you can't continuously make those jumps for minutes" or "a perfect trill over more than x seconds is impossible". Then he dumped it onto a poor soul to make it true.
It’s like guitar is harder to begin to learn but rlly easy to master but piano is easy to learn but hard to master, or at least it’s like that for me lol
Not flawless, he's putting too much arm tension and strain on the fingers, notice his Bell Pinkie finger, it should be idle, not active. he's not rotating his arm to hit the bell, he's moving his hand and pinkie to hit the bell, there is a large difference in that technique.
There was a lot of strain, but that’s probably because there’s so many jumps. I played this piece and found the end really difficult because of all the built up tension in my 4th and 5th (particularly from those trills)
i feel like there’s nothing more mind blowing than being half decent at something (like piano) and then watching a true master perform an unbelievable piece like this. Bravo
when you are able to play comfortably a piece while also recording, you can usually play it again while recording as well as forever as long as you practice it from time to time so you don't forget it and/or lose the muscle memory
WOW. You've accomplished something so incredibly difficult and now no one can take that away from you! Absolutely incredible. There's so many difficult techniques in this piece that it's a marvel to be able to pull it all off. Like the trills in the 5th and 4th fingers which I still have never mastered because it's so awkward to play. And so many fast leaps that are so so so so easy to make a slip with. It's truly a brave or silly person who tries to play this but you pulled it off spectacularly! Well done and CONGRATS on 100,000 subscribers! You've earned it my friend!! -Andrew
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment, Andrew! This piece is such a technical nightmare, yet so rewarding to perform, I too don't have those 5-4 trills quite secured just yet. I'd be very curious to hear where you could take the theme if you were to write an arrangement (Russian or not ;) ), but in any case I'll continue enjoying my daily dose of piano from you guys!
Sheet Music Boss Do you do the harder pieces Andrew? Honestly, I’d love to see more classical pieces performed by you guys, though be it my taste for music is more classical and jazz. Maybe even see your hands playing the music, show off the skill you have to the musicians and show who is boss
I actually saw my 12 year old friend just casually playing this at home when I went to meet him and I never talked about my piano experience ever again
@@readerofareader It became a contest of who of parents in the world gets their kid the most strict lessons and regimes to make a playing robot out of a 12 year old... And afterwards it's called talent, after such an overtrained kid is playing all the different classical pieces and études, at oversped up tempos, forwards and backwards, and in all 12 keys in a row, while clearly being tired of such pressure, squeezed like a lemon, but also "putting to shame and tears of disappointment in themselves" is what many people, whilst actually passionate about music, experience from that. That makes them depressed, and they are so let down by their own skills, that they quit trying... That is kind of sad to me, and it doesn't seem to me as if great techniques and memory full of all the known pieces is worth much in musical sense, if it all doesn't result in expression and something new, some actual greatness, and not just a potential demonstration of speed. I rarely see "toddler prodigies" doing all that more than play fast and precise. Perhaps only some...
@@apracity7672 Seems that you don't quite understand what music is about. In my opinion, it's not about overstressing children to play at 320 tempo. Many are jealous, of course, but living under loads of stress doesn't seem really great either.
It's frustrating to learn for that exact reason because it's actually playable at first. The muscle memory kicks in pretty quick. Then there's that point depending on your skill level where it's just a wall. It'll take years realistically to gain the skills to even learn it let alone play it well. For me at least. I'll stick to playing the first 1/3 in slightly different ways until the fun wears off.
If it wasn't that he could have wrote and performed it after about 6 cups of coffee on the 6th day of the week on only 6 hours of sleep. String the numbers together and we get how any mortal could possible come up with a piece this complicated.
About 2.5 years ago when covid started I thought I would give this piece a try but I never thought I would be able to play it. And here I am 2.5 years later I was totally right
Cant believe its been six years, ive listened to your performance of this beautiful song at least a hundred times. In my completely unqualified opinion, this is how la campanella should sound be played on piano, absolute perfect performance.
Mozart, Beethoven, liszt and you are my idols I want to be a singer and pianist, but I haven't started with the piano yet. You are my inspiration Sorry if it's not written well, but I don't speak fluent English yet.
I've always loved this piece, but being able to see it played in full view like this absolutely blew me away and gave me a whole new appreciation for the piece.
snowballcatkatie _ it’s literally a piece to show of his play and composing ability, he plays things so wide and fast that he can barely play them ,but so that it’s still possible to play lol
everyone talks about how La Campanella is so difficult, and it is, I just wanted to say that this is truly one of the most beautiful pieces every written, Lizst did a wonderful job making it a piano piece
@@ultracat7788 that's why I said "making it a piano piece" if you listen to La Campanella played on the violin you'll notice subtle differences, Liszt adapted it to the piano and made it work for the instrument. I adore both versions though
Imagine composing music so good that almost 200 years later people still enjoy it. [edit]: I came back after a few months, and I didn't expect these many likes!
I just listened to 4 different people play this and I like yours the most. You play with your soul and bring out the length in each note and I absolutely LOVE it!
I wouldn't call myself a pianist but I enjoy playing the piano, and as someone who enjoys playing the piano I agree. Although the piece I am currently focusing on is "Nuvole Bianche". First time I heard it was in a random playlist that came on while I was gaming and I stopped what I was doing and really took it in. I wanted to play it right that moment but as someone who still can't really read sheet music I listened and played what I heard. It's not that I can't read sheet music I just am very slow at reading that it doesn't even matter.
I love how difficult this piece is and yet it still sounds amazing, usually the more complex and difficult a piece of music is the less and less it sounds good, but not this one. Great job playing this!!
You'll get there. Piano teachers usually will tell you not to overcompensate when playing, and you'll be surprised over time your fingers don't need to move a lot to play fluidly. Oh and, scales and arpeggios are good practice. Placing a coin on the middle of your hand while playing can help too if you're having trouble keeping your hands from swaying too much (and if you're a masochist).
Literally the first part is played without even using a single finger, i just rotate my arm and my pinkie lands on that D# note, then rotate so my thumb hits the next note, rince and repeat across the 3 octaves.
What I love best about Liszt is that his music is difficult and yet so magical to listen to. There are some composers who have insanely difficult songs, but they sound like a cat running over the keyboard. It is true brilliance to not only create something so complex and yet enjoyable to hear.
@@galaxywonders7819 Try listening to Alkan. He's like Liszt. Now you might say his pieces are difficult and sound like garbage, but not all of them. I recommend listening to Le Preux or Le Chemin De Fer, which are really good and as epic as La Campanella.
What's most interesting is once you break the song from its tempo, it's actually a rather simple composition. The tempo is what gives it the perceived complexity. And I think that's what makes this such a stunning masterpiece - Liszt really said: I'm going to take the simplest composition and flourish it up to impossibility level.
Best performance I've ever seen especially at 4:13, mesmerizing. I'm sure if Liszt saw that he would say "Dude I just wrote that to let off steam, it was not supposed to be playable".
Okey, pls play me the piano to the point? XD Le khey is wrong, but my comment isnt. I was just saying that someone that can play all of Chopin Nocturnes first read doesnt have trouble playing this. In truth, Liszt is/was probably the best pianist ever. My point was people dont compose pieces they cant play. I know this one is not that much of composing since its inspired by Paganini, still has its merit but not as much merit as Hungarian Rhapsody 2. Anyways, have a nice day :)
1:11 This crescendo and then returning to the main theme with always a different variation is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard on the piano. It gives me goosebumps. 2:30
@Jannis Glueck okay?? But still it’s still a hard piece I’m not sayin it’s the hardest pieces, plus You don’t need to give me a lecture just say like sum like “it’s not “that” hard” or whatever-
I think it's fun to gawk at synthesia "tutorials" for difficult pieces like this, but it is a pleasure unparalled to actually see your hands on the keys. The jumps are so precise and the technique is astounding. You, sir, are amazing.
Let's do an amazing stuff: 8th Dan black belt : Liszt - La Campanella 9th Dan black belt : Rachmaninov: Piano Sonata No.2 10th Dan black belt : Chopin, Piano Sonata No. 3 ( why? because it changes according to your mood )
there is a video where a guy plays it on a school talent show. and you can feel the audiences breath is taken away and has never heard anything like this
Interesting as I did this very piece very well at an audition on bgt and they said that I need to play something more intense and hard and I raged my ass off
Idk why I keep coming back to La Campanella ever since I first heard it here.. The first piece that I truly fell in love with. And now I wish I can play it.
Thank you Daniel, looking forward to your 4 hours of La Campanella intro... wait... if you edit out all of the E's from your Fur Elise video it's already done!! Congratulations for surpassing the 100k milestone as well :)
Liszt was basically the first rock star; people followed him around screaming, women threw themselves at his feet, and later, Beatlemania would be a reference to Lisztomania.

Liszt doesnt compose this piece but by Paganini
@@ultracat7788 that's why I said "making it a piano piece" if you listen to La Campanella played on the violin you'll notice subtle differences, Liszt adapted it to the piano and made it work for the instrument. I adore both versions though

This is the newer version. Not 200 years and the OG one sounds a little bit different
This is probably one of the most epic piano pieces that exists, and Rousseau played it absolutely incredibly. Respect.

Vanity Why do you have to compare Rosseau with Kassia? They’re both good. I’m kind of tired of all of this
Vanity Kassia definitely made more mistakes than Rousseau, who pretty much made zero, but anyways there’s no reason to compare them in the first place
as a pianist, thinking about trying to learn this piece makes me feel both intense physical and emotional pain
I wouldn't call myself a pianist but I enjoy playing the piano, and as someone who enjoys playing the piano I agree. Although the piece I am currently focusing on is "Nuvole Bianche". First time I heard it was in a random playlist that came on while I was gaming and I stopped what I was doing and really took it in. I wanted to play it right that moment but as someone who still can't really read sheet music I listened and played what I heard. It's not that I can't read sheet music I just am very slow at reading that it doesn't even matter.
well narancia, what about physical pain?
Same
As someone who wants to learn even for a hobby, *same*
Better tban go to sportgym to loose weight.
I love how difficult this piece is and yet it still sounds amazing, usually the more complex and difficult a piece of music is the less and less it sounds good, but not this one. Great job playing this!!
How many octaves and jumps would you like to add in your piece ?
Liszt : YESSS
Trills:
Lizt in every song he composed:
I paid for the whole piano *im gonna use the whole damn piano*
@@MUIDYLANICE LOL IKR
As a beginner pianist I'll never understand how you masters have both stiff ass fingers, and yet they're still fluid.
You'll get there. Piano teachers usually will tell you not to overcompensate when playing, and you'll be surprised over time your fingers don't need to move a lot to play fluidly.
Oh and, scales and arpeggios are good practice. Placing a coin on the middle of your hand while playing can help too if you're having trouble keeping your hands from swaying too much (and if you're a masochist).
Try to play el contrabandista, the easiest piece ever made by me.
let me introduce you to the world of big ass hands
Literally the first part is played without even using a single finger, i just rotate my arm and my pinkie lands on that D# note, then rotate so my thumb hits the next note, rince and repeat across the 3 octaves.
It's finger strength not stiffness. These people have played for years and the more you practice the stronger your fingers will become.
What I love best about Liszt is that his music is difficult and yet so magical to listen to. There are some composers who have insanely difficult songs, but they sound like a cat running over the keyboard. It is true brilliance to not only create something so complex and yet enjoyable to hear.
True. I've heard a lot of difficult pieces but they are boring to listen to. Lizst is both amazing and enjoyable for listeners, the complete package.
@@galaxywonders7819 Try listening to Alkan. He's like Liszt. Now you might say his pieces are difficult and sound like garbage, but not all of them. I recommend listening to Le Preux or Le Chemin De Fer, which are really good and as epic as La Campanella.
@@therealransu ty
What's most interesting is once you break the song from its tempo, it's actually a rather simple composition. The tempo is what gives it the perceived complexity. And I think that's what makes this such a stunning masterpiece - Liszt really said: I'm going to take the simplest composition and flourish it up to impossibility level.
Wow, thats an amazing take!
4:24 en este momento, fue un cambio epico , que me puso la piel de gallina. Me encanto! (Toda la obra de echo)

Best performance I've ever seen especially at 4:13, mesmerizing.
I'm sure if Liszt saw that he would say "Dude I just wrote that to let off steam, it was not supposed to be playable".
Naaaah, Liszt was a man that was capable of playing all Chopin Nocturnes first read in front of Chopin, i dont think he wasnt able to play this :P
@@MrBigPauly1 what?! This was originally a Niccolo Paganini piece that Liszt was inspired by and he put his own twist on it.
Okey, pls play me the piano to the point? XD
Le khey is wrong, but my comment isnt. I was just saying that someone that can play all of Chopin Nocturnes first read doesnt have trouble playing this. In truth, Liszt is/was probably the best pianist ever. My point was people dont compose pieces they cant play. I know this one is not that much of composing since its inspired by Paganini, still has its merit but not as much merit as Hungarian Rhapsody 2.
Anyways, have a nice day :)

1:11 This crescendo and then returning to the main theme with always a different variation is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard on the piano. It gives me goosebumps. 2:30

And also at 2:46
My pianist friend told me to learn this piece but said it was manageable, then I watched 3:35 and said: “YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?”
So ironically that’s the easiest part in the piece…
@@AydenC😂
so you’re telling me up until that point you had watched this video and said : “yeah that looks pretty manageable” 😂
That’s funny because it’s probably the easiest part of the entire song except the beginning
I gave up way before that 😅

Yeah absolutely😍
Sure its very easy
@Jannis Glueck still one of the hardest pieces
@Jannis Glueck okay?? But still it’s still a hard piece I’m not sayin it’s the hardest pieces, plus You don’t need to give me a lecture just say like sum like “it’s not “that” hard” or whatever-
