Liszt: R.W. - Venezia, S201 (Clidat)

[@treesny]

Thank you for including performances by France Clidat in your carefully selected array of pianists and works. An under-valued interpreter of Liszt, in my view.

Does anyone else notice the similarities between this piece and Liszt's Nuages Gris??

[@pietrolandri6081]

..... Maybe I can try to play this one although it is certainly easier to "read" than to play....

Did not expect to see the "Blackadder chord" here!

Recalls the sonata, and looks forward to Bartok. It is his own Chopin death march.

man, Liszt got *bleak* in his old age

[@treesny]

Yes, a lot -- not all -- of his late music dives deep into areas of melancholy and depression, as stripped down as (say) the late plays of Samuel Beckett. And of course this was written in the wake of Richard Wagner's death; apart from the devastating loss of not one but two of his three children, this was surely the greatest emotional blow that Liszt suffered in later years.

Performances of this piece on RUclips seem to take 3 and a half minutes each. Where is the urgency? As you get closer to death, time speeds up leaving you no time to get the important things sorted... ruclips.net/video/R_mIerO21cc/видео.html

[@johnryskamp2943]

Too bad so many of his most unconventional pieces lapse into the conventional. Say what you will, Liszt was wedded to 19th century music.

[@visveee6678]

He lived in the 19th century, so I don't see a problem with that
