Le festin d'Ésope (Aesop's Feast), is a piano étude by Charles-Valentin Alkan. It is the final étude in the set Douze études dans tous les tons mineurs (Twelve studies in all minor keys), Op. 39, published in 1857 (although it may have been written during the previous decade). It is a work of twenty-five variations based on an original theme and is in E minor. The technical skills required in the variations are a summation of the preceding études.
The work requires exceptional virtuosic skills, with extremely fast overlapping octaves, fast scales with left accompaniments, enormous leaps, rapid octave chords, tremolos, double octaves and trills. A typical performance of this piece lasts 10 minutes.
According to legend, Xanthus required his slave Aesop to arrange a feast containing every variety of food. However, at the feast all the guests were served with tongue, which, Aesop explained, encompassed every variety of human knowledge and emotion.
Although this story is indicated by Alkan's title, and is in itself a parable about the variation form, there seem to be clear indications in the music, from the animal noises suggested, to Aesop's many fables about animals.

Cool composer
9:34 So soothing... yet transcendental

EPIC GAMUR MOMENT
Rachmainoff moment

Kind of sounds like Bach or you can say, Baroque, which is actually really beautiful
Nice piece by a crazy composer.
Why are you everywhere tf
@@angelov4423 Lol Ikr
Had comments as much as my spare time two years ago, and being seen everywhere about classical synthesia videos was the resolution.
Or you all are taking the same path by me, just two years late, and with less comments.
Lisztomaniac well u are still active huh

@@Dylonely_9274 I didn’t know you were also an Alkan fan!
@@Medtszkowski I’m a romantic music fan (1800-1950 :). Tbh I don’t love Alkan’s music as much as Liszt or Chopin’s, but there are still some pieces like this one that I really love.
My favorite parts are basically all of it.

@@Dylonely_9274 My pleasure :)
Thanks much 👍🏻
Charles Alkan was a very gifted composer and pianist...his virtuosity might even be greater than Franz Liszt. GREAT PIECE!
It's true, liszt said "alkan was better than him"
@@myemilia_gdl no I don't think he said this
mAnu he did, but he’s wrong.
@@myemilia_gdl after he saw Alkan's koncert, he said that he's scared about his career, because of Alkan's virtuosity. He admired Alkan greatly.
@Johann Sebastian That doesn't mean Liszt stated that Alkan was better than him. It was simply a compliment, and he wasn't comparing the latter to himself.
"From scale 1 to 10, how hard you want the piece to be?"
Alkan: YES!
Alkan: about 100? Na too easy
Pianist: NOOOOO!!!! 😭😭😭😭
@@_rstcmFinally, the pianists get what they deserve!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! I ALWAYS HATED PIANISTS (Besides Liszt and maybe Chopin and Czerny)!!! NOW THEY WILL SUFFER!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best piano solo pieces ever composed.
Agree
Alkan's pieces are so difficult! I've been waiting for a good synthesia version of this, it's my favourite of Alkan's pieces.
Mior Akif Mior Farid search grande fantaisie de bravoure sur la clochette
actually some are more difficult, as alkan was a greater virtuoso than liszt
Stamin-UP Soda lol are you joking?
You're a great example of a biased bigot
Romain Mialon Its true.
A good one would be Der Erlköing Liszt/Schubert.
If your graphic really corresponds to a real performance (not just a synthesized one), that is an impressive achievement!
Yup it does! Thank you
I love you, thanks for uploading ! I would love to see more alkan's pieces here, like his symphony for solo piano, le chemin de fer, scherzo focoso, etc.
This is incredible. And you used the best interpretation of this piece.
The grace notes at 6:23 almost always make me laugh or want to laugh every time I hear it!
There's an expression text next to the dynamics written at the beginning of the bar which translates to 'barking'. It clearly represents a dog barking with the beat at the beginning (6:11) and starting to bark off beat later on (6:15).
@@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabjiAlkan was so creative!
part from 7:01 to 7:56 is so powerful
I like this piece. Thank you.Do not know much about Alkan but I will be very interested in hearing more of his music
Finally an Alkan piece I actually like
Same
Le Chermin de Fer
WTF!!!!!!!! I’m in total awe. That song amazes me every time. Half the views you have on this are probably me. Ha ha. I learning it now. When I finish I’ll post it on my dads channel. It’s gonna be awesome!
Did you learned it ?
Soooo what's up
Did you do it?
CONGRATULATIONS ON 3K+ SUBS! THIS CHANNEL IS AWESOME, YOUR WORKS ARE JUST FANTASTIC. I'M EXCITED TOO SEE WHAT YOU'RE OFFERING US NEXT! GREAT JOB ON THIS ONE
More Alkan please!
4:29 that lower D# is actually a B
Castler No it’s not... The sheet music says otherwise.
@@jacobhopkins32I don’t know which publication do you look at by my sheet music clearly say B
@@jacobhopkins32 The sheet music doesn't matter, you have ears don't you? A B is clearly being played.
Hats off to whoever made the video.
The lights fell like they're coming at ya.
Very good tutorial. Now I can play this easily.
Very good interpretation and piano sound. Fits perfect.
THANKS!
- Composed in 19th century
- Played by Synthesia
...
But still better than bullshit songs nowadays.
(Alkan would be proud of these disco effects of course too) :D
Bohus Balko XD
Bohus Balko true
Bohus Balko this is actually a human performance (a very good one)
@@thegreenpianist7683 Jack Gibbons?
@@amj.composer it's literally in the title
6:24 Reminds me of suggestion diabolique
yep
I'm gonna try to learn this.
Wish me luck, guys! :D
Good luck.
Did you make it tho?
Good luck!!
What's up?
he probably lose his fingers
Amazing as always !
I had discovered this your Channel only a few weeks ago but i like your work and tge pieces you're uploading👌👍👍👍
4:40 kinda has the feel of Chopin's prelude no. 16
Maybe Alkan was inspired by it?
@@wonjuwilliamna7724 What are you talking about my dude it sounds way way way more like prelude 16 to me
They were friend
Agree
They were neighbors and friends. So they might've inspired each other
@Enrico your*
Congrats to 3K! I have been watching since 100 subs!
This sounds very Romantic I always thought Alkan hated romantic pieces
not at all, listen to the second movement of his concerto for solo piano for example
What? Alkan was a Romantic composer. How would he hate Romantic music
@@calebhu6383I think he is talking about Romanatic style not Romantic era
3:44 is my favorite
8:21 ROCK
9:17 ❤
Congratulation!! Great channel!
Thank you so much! The video is perfect :) Also, congrats for reaching 3k subs
Please do Alkan le preux
congratulations for 3000 subs!
Can you upload: John Cage: 4'33"
The Cage piece is still under copyright protection I'm afraid.. Thanks for the support though!
HAHAHAHA that would be perfect!
By sound, even the computer is having problems playing alkan's pieces
@Johann Sebastian w-w-w-W-WHATTTTTTT?
@Mathews196 Yes
@Mathews196 An before consonant sounds again.
I love your videos man! Your work on Chopin's pieces is especially amazing. Could you please make a video on Chopin's waltz op69 no1 (also refered to as L'Aadieu). Thank you!
Thanks! I will do Chopin more
This music had been used as example in the italian youtube cultural video "Lezioni di Musica - Survivorship Bias" of the channel "musicamonteverde". Is a really very very interesting video of this new interesting channel.
can you do Liszt PIano concerto no. 1?
vesteel Tu as raison
Nice! I found another good Synthesia channel!
beautiful!!
When 'The Itsy Bitsy Spider' gets overclocked...
I've read many comments say the same, can you link the song with a timestamp of the song's similarities with this classic piece?
Congrats on 3k!!! I have been with you since 25 subs. I know because we both had 25 at one point. I just haven't gained any! XD
before Rachmaninoff we got Charles-Valentin Alkan
3:44 ouch
Apostolis Moshopoulos
Whats so ouch about that?
@@sneakyboi3602 i think he eant the repeated notes
It actually isn't that bad

Sounds like Alkan's variations on a theme of Paganini
omg yes i need to learn this
Hamelins Performance is 8 and a half minutes
Can you do the op.59 piano concerto in e major by Moritz?
@Ismael Carlos righttt I want to see done great quality like he does it in this channel
4:41-5:20 My favorite moment
La partie la plus simple
La partie la plus simple
Omg 4:30 sounds like: Tarako tarako 🎵 (Japanese tv commercial)
I jkust realized this is a Paganini theme... I can't believe it took me this long
This isn't a paganini theme
@@ShutUpZewenThisIsNotBased sure sounds like an interpretation of the same theme of liszt/paganini 6
Couldnt see the 2 replies. Couldnt get your sarcasm huh. 😂
Wow...5:36 is so powerful!!
Indeed !
nice
Kinda reminds me of grande etude de paganini no.6
It has the same style such as the variations and the 2 sections within the variations are similar to how paganini’s variations were

Hi Pianoczarx, I really enjoyed the piano sound in your video-it's fantastic! Could you please tell me which piano soundfont or VST you used for this? If not, I completely understand. Thanks for the great content!

Hey PianoCzarX, is that Synthesia or another software ? Thanks for the best Alkan piece upload =D
Original video game music
If we're on crazy pieces, what about Brahm's variations on a theme of Paganini?
There already exists a MIDI of that (which isn't great, but I'm sure you could make it sound well).
I love those variations, much better than Liszt's and also would love to see them combined with your skill in making synthesia videos look and sound great together. :)
7:36-7:55 deep sadness 😥 love it
