I cut my finger while I’m cooking this morning. 😱 Fortunately, it is not the tip of the finger but still very hurt too 😭 Rhapsodie espagnole is one of the most difficult pieces by Liszt. For me, it is even harder than Mazeppa or La Campanella. Obviously, it is longer but also technically, physically, and musically demanding. I always keep in mind the repertoire that you all request - I wrote down on my further repertoire list including Chopin ballade 1st and 4th, Liszt Tarantella, Hungarian Rhapsody 2nd, Rachmaninoff Moment musicaux and etc. My channel grows up very slowly but even though I am really happy to share my music with you. So don’t be disappointed! 😘 I want to focus on complete Chopin Etude in June (almost done!!) and keep continuing to upload the essential piano music. I will upload Liszt Sonata (which takes 30 minutes) when my channel reaches 1000 subscribers!!!! 🤩 Don’t cut your finger and have fun playing and watching!
I near lost my finger week's ago but I can play difficult pieces like the hero of chopin. If you train for a long time to play you don't even notice that you have problems
Rousseau: Can reach long distance notes Kassia: Faster than the speed of sound. MusicalBasics: Controls Gravity Toms: Can do math whilst playing the piano. TRAUM: Can play HARD, FAST, but beautiful pieces while injured (minor or major)
Finally an RUclipsr pianist who plays not overplayed pieces! Liszt has so much to offer and people play all the same pieces every time. Your renditions and technique are impeccable. Rubato at appropriate measure and everything. You are a living promise. And I say promise because promises can be broken, they may never happen. If you just give up suddenly, it's just as fine. Your worth does not rely upon what you do or what you do not do. On another note, if I may suggest (just found your channel, might be redundant, so pardon me if I am late), I'd say play some lesser played composers (amongst RUclipsrs), maybe Alkan, Skriabin, Busoni, Sorabji, Bartok, Blumenfeld, Finissy, Ligeti, and so on. It will add tenfold to this awesome sphere that is RUclips pianists. And you can do these composers justice with your wonderful technique (plus your interpretation really gets into the piece, you have something transpersonal going on there).
Is this anyone else's favorite Liszt piece, as well? It's got everything packed in it, be it technique, heart-melting melodies, some avant-garde foreshadowing of 20th century piano, excitement, passion, serenity, calm, showmanship, you name it! :)
@@Pogouldangeliwitz But what about Ballade #2 or the two Legends for programmatic innovation and onomatopoeia? What about Benediction de Dieu for its texture? This piece easily rivals the Sonata -- and I love the Sonata and find it to be an equal.
Traum...why in god's name don't you have more subscribers? Wow, I am blown away. You are one of the only synthesia pianists on youtube that displays perfect technique with very sentimental musicality. I love your rubato. I am definitely gonna stick around to see more uploads. Cheers!
Speaking as someone who likes piano music but isn't an uber piano enthusiast, I'm impressed by the difficulty. But after seeing a few of these hard pieces played, it all starts to blend together.
Alexander Noethiger Ofcourse you can’t even comprehend such skill with your chopin waltz op 69 lmao. It shows no signs of being sped up and you show no signs of intelligence.
You're the first synthesia pianist I've seen play this piece on RUclips and I applaud you for all the hard work you've put into preparing all the pieces on your channel. I look forward to seeing more videos and more subscribers. You're amazing!
Finally a channel that plays Spanish rhapsody! Everybody knows Hungarian Rhapsody but not many people seems to know Spanish Rhapsody... it's sadly so underrated! I just subscribed, your channel is also sadly very underrated, but I know you will get soon all the recognition you deserve 😊
Another terrifying piece conquered! Well done! I am so excited to hear your repertoire, especially the Tarantella and the Rhapsody. Thank you! Things to Do
This is amazing! I don't see many people play this particular piece of Liszt's, and out of the few that are out there, this has got to be one of my favourites. It sounds so clean! Well done
@@christophe6315 Top 3? You're kidding. Means that you haven't heard of many pianists then. There are literally professional pianists with their own channels. i.e. Yui Morishita, Vincenzo Maltempo, Jack Gibbons to name a few. You probably haven't heard of them because they aren't making trendy visual MIDI videos
Fun fact: the overall theme of this piece is the La Folia progression. It has been used in numerous ways by numerous composers since the 16th century, and possibly even earlier. It's typically known as a D-minor progression but has been used in different signatures. Other composers that have used this are Corelli, Vivaldi, Marin Marais, Lully, Mozart, Händel, Geminiani, and even Rachmaninoff.
Traum es una bestialidad. Todas las piezas de Franz Liszt las toca con una prodigiosa avilidad exacta y extrema precisión como ningun otro pianista. Es el top1 de los pianistas. Nadie como el
Amazing. I would love to see: Mephisto Waltz No.1, Trancendental Etude No.6 and No.9 and the Rondo fantastique "El Contrabandista" that would so awesome
@@tommeng6522 I don’t think Lisitsa herself claimed that… I’ve read it from her fandom but not from her directly, there are also a few other interpretations of the piece. I do agree with the enthusiasm of seeing Traum playing it, and I also think Traum’s interpretation could potentially be more popular than Lisitsa’s 👀
This probably sounds strange... but you've got beautiful hands!!! I've never seen such fluid and graceful movement by someone's hands before!! Beautiful, and flawless, as I've come to expect from your videos!! I could listen to you and just be mesmerized by your gorgeous hands all day!!
this movement its amazing how you do this very often as seen in your uploads I hope you give yourself a break soon and hope that people discover this channel even sooner
Wow!! You are the best piano channel I have ever seen (maybe some exceptions but I can say best Visualization channel I have ever seen). This piece was one of my favourites by Liszt. This piece contains Folia Variations, Romancero Espagnol S695c and Spanish Fantasy S253 in its own theme! And Set Number is knows as S254
OMGGGGGG literally my 2nd favorite piece of Liszt, after Liebestraum😭😭😭 yours and Tiffany Poon are my favorite versions❤️❤️ thank you for playing. I just subscribed to you❤️ do you think this piece is harder than HR2? Please answer♥️ thank you

SeeMusic piano has also a very similar level, just as a recommendation, he recorded Wilde Jagd from Franz Liszt

Love this song and the way you played it. 3:00-3:45 is my favorite part
Same, but it's not Liszt's original work. It's just a variation on La folia
