Too many mistakes. I am ashamed that I let so many mistakes slip, such as the spelling of Lisitsa, concerto, and the title of the last clip. I will admit, I did rush this video a bit and was getting impatient as the softwares I was using were acting up.

A bit strange this list is. Rautavaara is in fact quite euphonious (certainly more so, than Feinberg e.g.), especially in this particular piece. Also the Mozart example is what most non-classical trained people would associate with "classical boredom" (though I personally *do* like this piece, despite its infamous popularity)
I've made so many mistakes in this video... I'm contemplating taking it down, but it's already got 1000 views and plus, I don't have the original file anymore
This is tame stuff....Xenakis (e.g. Synaphai) would be several levels about 10. Even Messaien's Turangalila Symphony has some really juicy dischords. Level 10 was more bizarre than anything else. Always happy to see/hear Scriabin PS8.
I've often thought an orchestra tuning up could easily be mistaken for a 20th century avant- guard piece. It was a brave but ultimately not enduringly popular movement.
@@epointerwinboie the composer whose most famous pieces are literally piano gamelan, Chopin on steroids and variations on Schubert's melody, tbh your observation makes sense
The performer for number 10 is such a legend 😅 To be willing to play that and scream at the score paper in front of a classical audience deserves some respect and I thought he really did the piece justice. Really cool video!
Try listening to Red Earth or his impressions of other composers like "Scriabin in itself", "Erik Satie, like everyone else" etc. The string quartets are also quite accessible
Listen to the Seven Sacred Motets, and then Vieux Noël. He was 12 when he wrote that second piece and it's already his Op58. Consider that if you as the listener aren't getting things that someone able to do that is writing, then it *might* be you, not they, who is missing something?
3:52 - Since we have this now, we can burn all of Beethoven's, Mozart's and Schubert's piano sonatas. Let's listen and sing along with this wonderful tune.
I was really laughing out loud when I saw that synthesia video of the Finnissy piece😂 Thats usually something you’d associate with an Einaudi piano piece…
First time I read Ravel's Valses Nobles et Sentimentales I checked at least 10 times the opening chords just to make sure I was reading well. These chords just make sense when you play the valse in one go, but individually they are absolutely uncanny.
I enjoyed the Finissey. While it's certainly at least freely atonal, it's not hugely dissonant (and thus not worthy of the #9 spot) because there are very few chords. The vast majority of it is two lines or sometimes just one line played by two hands.
Mozart has composed a quartet subtitled the dissonances. at the end, it's noise. You could quote Boulez.. but modern music is not dissonant but with different scales
The more the level goes high, it starts to sound more avant-garde. mostly some pieces that are so dissonant entered the 20th century including ravel and debussy. What a big step
I really enjoyed this video just as a brief glimpse into the world of different composers, some of whom I wasn't too familiar with (Scriabin), some who I hadn't heard of at all (Gliere). I feel inspired to check some of them out now in more depth. Well, if I'm being honest, I really enjoyed this video up until #9. It's very telling that this is the only piece not performed by a human-- it's just a midi file plugged into an app.
As a rule of thumb as a composer. Dissonance in upper register usually wouldn’t sound that bad. Also, if there are other elements like easily recognizable rhythm, dynamics, activity, etc. It also wouldn’t be that bad. In the world of contemporary music, if you can find predominantly traditional note head, it’s a sign that the piece isn’t that bad. This is as if someone say, they’ll love Maths if it stays with number, but they lost in when English alphabets start to appears.
Take almost any of Keith Jarrett's solo piano improvised concertos, wait the first couple of minutes of deceptively nice music and here you are, generously served with dissonance. He calls that aural sculptures, not adding they feel like made of barbed wire, not white marble.
i never understood, are those pieces by sorabji, finnissy, etc written for actual listening/playing? or are those just joke pieces? can someone please explain it to me lmao
Yes I know, I could have named the video "ten levels of music that progress further and further from the social norm of what good music is", but that doesn't have the same ring

Also, I can't believe I accidentally put an "I'', in concerto, silly me.
dude u literally spelt her name as lititsa like wtf
Concierto is just a non-english spelling, it’s an acceptable mistake to make
And yet it was still a very successful video either way
It's the Spanish spelling

Also the Mozart example is what most non-classical trained people would associate with "classical boredom" (though I personally *do* like this piece, despite its infamous popularity)
Last one is not by Concert Creator A.I but played by Kentaro Noda. He deserves credit for even attempting this piece in front of people.

@@Jartious Why did you heart your own comment XD
@@Strawberryfreak it's more of an aesthetic thing, it looks kinda odd from my perspective if I don't heart mine as well.
@@Jartious you said this but didn't heart your second reply lmao

Hi doctor
Last guy was dying to take a piss
Seen and approved, although the rabbit hole goes deeper still.
Yeah I know, this is very general. Could you give me some links to the deeper areas? I'm curious.

level 9 sounds terrible played by an ai but im sure it could be bearable if actually performed!!!
Xnad!, write below if you indeed watched it
When you're trying to compose something original but all the good melodies are already taken:
I feel it bro
Godowsky never had that problem tbu, his compositions always sounded fresh and new
pfft, Ling Ling is disappointed..
@@epointerwinboie the composer whose most famous pieces are literally piano gamelan, Chopin on steroids and variations on Schubert's melody, tbh your observation makes sense
@@rodnaskel2123 still incredibly unique to me

The page turner was scared 😭😭
4:15 Sounds like he’s shouting in Finnish ”saatana saatana saatana”, which is quite common curse, translates into ”god damn” repeatedly.
I honestly liked all of it until 9. Well, 10 is probably the greatest thing that has ever blessed humanity’s ears.
I try to stay open minded but there is truly nothing appealing about Finnissy.
Try listening to Red Earth or his impressions of other composers like "Scriabin in itself", "Erik Satie, like everyone else" etc. The string quartets are also quite accessible
As Mozart said: if a Piece of music doesn' t produce pleasure Simply It Is not Music.
it creates a unique atmosphere
@@alessandropelizzoli6613 scores for horror movies don't create pleasure but discomfort, are those not music?
Listen to the Seven Sacred Motets, and then Vieux Noël. He was 12 when he wrote that second piece and it's already his Op58. Consider that if you as the listener aren't getting things that someone able to do that is writing, then it *might* be you, not they, who is missing something?
That Rautavaara concerto is an absolute banger! For such a dissonant work I found it to be quite accessible!
Me too honestly
yeah and honestly most of it is not that dissonant very tonal work overal
1:09 “I know you’re watching this Xnad!”
you’re welcome
03:14, New excuse: Forearm not big enough😂
3:08 That Scared The F-k Out Of Me 😭😭
Scriabin's 8th is so fucking great.
So is William Schuman's 8th.
3:52 - Since we have this now, we can burn all of Beethoven's, Mozart's and Schubert's piano sonatas. Let's listen and sing along with this wonderful tune.
The jump in dissonance from mazeppa to Scriabin 8 is insane lmao
Omg yeah glad someone pointed it out 😭
stop getting so emotional
a somewhat dissonant piece i actually enjoy listening to is rzewskis the poeple united will never be defeated
I'll check it out!
@@Jartious The cotton mill blues is an especially strong movement.
Rzewski is brilliant
that piece is one of my favourites at the moment, I recommend Hamelin's recording :)
Mozart approves!
U gonna finish ur last symphony or what
Go away Wolfgang, we don’t have any booze for you.
And do you know your Figaro piece had been arranged by Liszt💀
I was really laughing out loud when I saw that synthesia video of the Finnissy piece😂
Thats usually something you’d associate with an Einaudi piano piece…
Finnissy is truly the God of "using a cat to compose" Imo
Level 9 sounds like aliens contacting us.
4:17 bro has beef with the score
That Rautavaara concerto is so damn epic
bur where pkrokofiev dissonances?😭
And beautiful. Everything he wrote was majestic yet very dissonant
I prefer level 10 to level 9 honestly
Yeah, honestly level ten was probably composed as a joke
Level 10 is insane 😅😅
First time I read Ravel's Valses Nobles et Sentimentales I checked at least 10 times the opening chords just to make sure I was reading well. These chords just make sense when you play the valse in one go, but individually they are absolutely uncanny.
my question is, does the sheet music in the last one clarifies what pitch you should scream in? or does it just say SCREAM!!!!
'The Devil's Staircase' by Ligeti is one of my favourites for dissonant piano. Amazing video
I am not sure I hear "dissonance". I think I hear Art!
It is dissonance, and it is art. Dissonance is beautiful
The most dissonant piece i've ever listened to was Le regard des anges by O. Messian. It's lvl 11 in your list 😅
Where are Webern and Boulez?
Ligeti, Bartok, Messiaen, Xenakis....
I enjoyed the Finissey. While it's certainly at least freely atonal, it's not hugely dissonant (and thus not worthy of the #9 spot) because there are very few chords. The vast majority of it is two lines or sometimes just one line played by two hands.
As Charles Ives said "Stand up and take your dissonance like a man".
Exactly 😂
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, don´t blink or you will miss it, 7, 6, 8, 9, 10
I honestly don't know why this video is doing so well. Quality wise, it's sub zero 😭
10 levels of PIANO dissonance. there is so much more between semitones ;) I like listening to a safe 6-7 mostly, although my music is more 8
Mozart has composed a quartet subtitled the dissonances. at the end, it's noise. You could quote Boulez.. but modern music is not dissonant but with different scales
That last pianist was on some crack.😂
idk why but the ending of level 10 completely cracks me up
It's so unexpected
The more the level goes high, it starts to sound more avant-garde. mostly some pieces that are so dissonant entered the 20th century including ravel and debussy. What a big step
Galina Ustvolskaya deserves to be here and take 8.5
A suggestion: ten levels of pieces that are meant to be played by one hand
Will definitely consider. If I do I'll credit you!
@@Jartious Thanks! I would love to see alkan's op 76 and hamelin's 7th etude
rautavaara's PC 1 is a geniune masterpiece

That last one... she turns the page, then gets out of there FAST!
(especially when he starts barking like a dog)
Feinberg's Sonata started being interesting at the beat drop
The guy at level 10: I paid for the whole piano, so I’ll use the whole piano
im at 0:13 rn and am expecting some sort of stravinsky throughout this vid (i have high expectations)
ok just finished watching, realized it was all piano pieces, now im dissapointed...
@@ahmadsho3a I'm sorry, I am mainly a piano channel 😅 Feel free to dislike I guess
@@Jartious nahhh broo, im joking, the vid was awesome,
Level11. Anything for Piano by Stockhausen.
I like how the assistant retreated briskly after turning each page - thank you for posting this... I think :-)

Take almost any of Keith Jarrett's solo piano improvised concertos, wait the first couple of minutes of deceptively nice music and here you are, generously served with dissonance. He calls that aural sculptures, not adding they feel like made of barbed wire, not white marble.
Gorguts - Forgotten Arrows is just the right level of dissonance for me
i never understood, are those pieces by sorabji, finnissy, etc written for actual listening/playing? or are those just joke pieces? can someone please explain it to me lmao
They self entertain
Where a Khachaturyan Toccata?
What is the tenth piece called?
The last pianist is a Japanese pianist named Kenichiro Noda. Unfortunately, he became more famous for blew up with internet than for his piano.
level 9 is so magical
0:35 spelling 🤨
And I can't even reupload it since I'd have to make the whole video again 😭. On the other hand, it gets people to comment...
You forgot Rebel's Chaos from The Elements
ruclips.net/video/dnlaCenlNHk/видео.htmlsi=5_dnEoPpdZITKZcy
Composers like Messiaen, Boulez, Stockhausen, Ligeti and Xenakis are missing in my opinion.
I only had 10 spots 🤷♂️. Maybe I could do a 20 levels one day
so I am either be a level 1 or a 10 but nothing in between
The last one reminded me of Elton John-
Why use mid recordings for the pieces?
I know you're watching this xnad!
既にレベル2で難しい😂 それに不協和音が多用される曲はドビュッシーやリストを除いてあまり好きではない。😩
레벨4-타란텔라 아님.
마제파임.
레벨1에서 레벨2? 너무 갑자기 훅 올라가더만
레벨2ㅡ10은 다 그만그만한 테크닉곡임
Cleanly, without errors I can only play the last piece.
Somehow Feinberg's doesn't even sound dissonant to me.
What the heck is the last one? And why does the page turner even bother?
What in the fucking world is Level 10 🤣
The Finnissy is just a joke. Awful. I prefer No.10 even though it’s more dissonant.
@@cynicxloud yeah at least it's funny lol
Level 11 is most sorabji pieces
Atonal, tone cluster ...
no1 should be musica ricercata no1
Oh yeah I forgot about that piece
Where stockhausen and Xenakis?
Forty-thousand years of evolution and we've barely even tapped the vastness of human potential...
Quand tu en es à insulter le piano en allemand en lui tapant dessus, est ce que ça vaut encore la peine d'appeler ça de la musique?
Bach, bwv 869?
Is the 4th movement from Chopin sonata Op.35 dissonant too?
1:34 WTF
I know Mazzepa, but it still... WTF
Messiaen level 11
And rudepoema
I like dissonance level 10 more than dissonance level 9
Perfect is 5 above
Who's Xnad?

10 levels of random noise
Only the last 1 is noise.Others is great
Hi wim!
Do you know what dissonance means???
Yes I know, I could have named the video "ten levels of music that progress further and further from the social norm of what good music is", but that doesn't have the same ring
What' s the name level 10 work?
ruclips.net/video/-LIw8ykSmGU/видео.htmlsi=ANmsWI_nAgCHJuqP
schoenberg?
Are you sure you don't want to say "Harmony" instead of "dissonnance"?
Of course, but I also wanted to pick a video title that would appeal to lots of people
@@Jartious :)
What's your definition of "classical listener" ?
Someone who primarily likes to listen to classical music
@@Jartious Classical as in "from Haydn to Weber ?". I am not sure such people do exist.
Level 9 is where it loses me 😅
