Liszt at the end of his life, such sardonic yet tantalising poetry and splendour, magnifying both the numinous and the diabolical... sorry, I just love late Liszt so much 😅 Thank you Andrei!!
I have been obsessed with this piece for the last week and suddenly you uploaded it! I cannot describe my excitement. I love your channel. Liszt's musical style is so diverse and the videos you upload here, of relatively neglected pieces with high quality scores and chosen performences are so beneficial for us listeners. I have no doubt that these will remain relevent for years and a treasure on youtube. Thank you for your hard work! Yours, Lisztomaniacs
I'll leave a comment here so other's can see; the completed version of the fourth Mephisto Waltz has gone public recently and you can find the full score video on my channel. (Completed by Leslie Howard) The recording was made long ago but it was blocked on RUclips until few months ago, now that the recording itself is on RUclips I could make a score video of it.
Gotta love the confusing rhythms in the beginning and related places! Even with the sheet music in front of me I can only hear them as "3/4" with its "downbeat" on the last written 8th note of every other bar, making some progressive transitions...
i feel as if it's not really due to liszt, but the performer tho. like, it's fairly easy to make the 6/8 clear if you try tapping out yourself, but the performer seems to not stress the 6/8 whatsoever and might even be slightly rushing into the 5th note
@@keyofamajor Hmm. I know what you are saying so I tried some other recordings. Still the same problem: I can tap "in the right place" if I dictate the melody rhythm myself but not while listening to a recording. Maybe if I tried learning the beginning on a piano myself?
Just wish Andsnes had recorded Mephisto 3 as well. Then you would have, indisputably, the best for all 4. Howard is still excellent for all 4, plus the Valses oubliees, and the Valse de Bravoure (an early Mephisto) and he provides a greatly expanded version of number 3 (using manuscripts to reconstruct). Worth tracking down. Andsnes is really strong in 1, up there with anyone else. His version of 2 is the best, and his version of 4 is the best. The performances are virile, clear, driven, and intense, and the recording is really solid, clear, rounded, and MEATY!
I’ve heard a longer version of this piece before that had a lovely middle section added (not composed by Liszt though). The tantalizing tonal ideas presented here make one wish the piece had been developed further, carrying on from the magical 3rd Mephisto Waltz.
The middle section melody was actualy composed by Liszt but sadly wasn't completed, so, some pianists used to complete the middle section at their styles. also if you wanna listen the imcomplete piece, listen to the setrak's performance of S.696 cause It's the imcomplete manuscript from this piece
Hi Andrei, I love your channel, but I was wondering how you dealt with the Content ID Claims? Is it okay if I dispute the content ID claims I keep getting which block my videos? Is there a risk? I have a lot of videos of obscure classical piano music that I wish to share but they are never made public because of this. Often it's because of using music from auto-generated RUclips music videos. I extract the music from them so I have no idea why others can't reuse their music if they already agreed to distribute it publicly on the site. So I never upload music on RUclips that has not already been uploaded on RUclips itself. Should I dispute them or is there a risk of getting a copyright strike? Thanks.
If the content ID is blocking your video, you can dispute it if you _really_ want the video visible. Worst case scenario is a strike but most likely the dispute will just be rejected if the copyright owner/s don't want it up. Look up the copyright policy of a piece before you upload--some are allowed up on YT in exchange for monetization revenue going to the copyright holder/s. And when you're uploading anything in which you don't own the copyrights to, you have to realize the copyright owner could strike you any time they wish. Certain labels are more lenient than others--Naxos usually gives me a fair deal but if I upload anything from Hyperion, they will hunt my video down, so a dispute doesn't always work.
@@AndreiAnghelLiszt Thanks for your answer. Very much appreciated. I'd like to ask you - would you suggest that I dispute these Content ID Claims, or would it be better not to? I don't want my channel taken down. Have you ever gotten a strike? The video I'm talking about has content from WMG which blocks it. It's Alexei Lubimov's fortepiano recordings of Mozart Sonatas. These are already available on RUclips as autogenerated videos.
Liszt anticipated the bareness and harmony of Bartok. And the whole-tones of Debussy. And the ecstasy and sliding chromaticism of Scriabin. He prefigured the whole early 20th century, in music. Decades before.
@@tomowenpianochannel thanks for your reply which I agree upon. İt's always good to stimulate a constructive dialogue, despite not everyone adds value as you may have noticed from the unnecessary sarcasm of a specimen herewith in this thread. Hence, your contribution is even more appreciated.
Im playing this piece for a recital soon and honestly it's harder than I thought. The constant left hand jumps are really hard to perform consistently.
The Mephisto-music has been one of Liszts greatest achievements
yeah agree

I love the timbre of this piano. Very full
0:50 is a part of his old composition (hug) when he was 12 but here on higher tone
Mephisto Waltz 2, 3 and 4 are sadly overshadowed by the first.
Yeah, but the first is the best IMO

The ending note is quite unexpected but surprising in a good way

Awesome piece.
THE OCTAVES
It's not that crazy unlike Hungarian Rhapsody 6 (Hungarian rhapsody 6 is painful)

The metric distortion here probably represents the perverse character of Mephistopheles.

At 1:46, it sounds so interesting. At that part, I feel there's something will happen more epic in the future (like, in a movie xd)
Two’s my favorite
The textures are just amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally a Liszt piece I can work with!! I’m going to learn how to it. His music is so hard to play. 😎
Ah, so peaceful
0:06... Game of thrones?
Yes!!
Seems like being exactly this motif...
0:35...Rhapsody in Blue?
Liszt was ahead of his time
I generally don't, well - let's be honest - ever think of Leif for anything Liszt...but this wasn't too bad. Thank you for uploading another one
Nice work bro!
I really like the interpretation
Immensely beautiful!
Okay, even today my desire to practice evaporated like dew in August.
why three staves?
Me: oh! Some Liszt! What key is-
Liszt: yes
Ре мажор, но вступление и заключение в до-диез миноре))
Wait, did Liszt have three hands? Why three lines? I- 😳
That is a very common form of notation. It is not at all more difficult to play, it just helps with readability.
not 3
close to 192843948 hands with 10924198753198357 fingers per hand
Well the famous op 3 no 2 prélude by Rachmaninov has a part that has 4 lines
Book 2, No. 13, The Devil's Staircase, György Ligeti also has a four-lined section.
He has just as many hands as you, this is just a form of notation that helps with readability.
0:05 is that Game of thrones?
I always feel like I'm the first person to click the notification on these videos.
Lol nope
I'm faster >:)
Of course xD

GUILLOM there’s a recording of it here on RUclips, posted by the channel “gullivior.” Gunnar Johansen is the pianist.
@@erikfreitas7093 Thank you very much! I already knew that some pianists played extended versions of this piece, but never heard one!

so, is this in a major key or a minor key?
yes
It begins and ends in a minor key so... Maybe dominantly minor?
Reminds me of his first csardas.

Now dance to this waltz....
The tonal ambiguity of finale, yet unfinished, is astonishing..... may I say a blasphemy that I already hear Bartok?
Why would it be BLASPHEMY? i hear Bach in it and also Rachmaninoff whats the problem

so, I have a question:
as a grade 3 pianist,
WHY ARE THERE 2 TREBLE CLEFS SOME PARTS OF THE PIECE?!
edit: grade 4 now, I’m so fucking stoopid
Easier to read, since some of the markings overlap with the 8va. Which is why some parts of this piece doesn’t need an extra staff.
K.I.L.L M.E. idk what 8va is 😐
Uno Reverse 8va is a marking which tells you to play 1 octave higher
This is scary to listen to as a pianist I won't lie
How?
@@greggreggreggreggreggreggreg1 cause that looks so difficult to play lol
This isn't too bad, just octaves and Liszt fits nicely under the hands.
Sounds relatively straight forward
@@joeyblogsy easier said than done my friend
Wait, Lizst also made Waltz.... Poor Chopin.
Thanks a lot
Sounds like Prokofiev
Where did you get the score
It looks easy to play?
Thank you for this video and are you planning on uploading a video about Liszt's bagatelle sans tonalité ?
Probably, in the future!
@@AndreiAnghelLiszt I certainly hope so

Do you mean the 6 minutes version ?
Im playing this piece for a recital soon and honestly it's harder than I thought. The constant left hand jumps are really hard to perform consistently.
Who is the pianist?
Who is playing?
Liszt obviously
The pianist is Leif Ove Andsnes.
Sounds kinda like Wagner - I think the 2 geniuses appreciated each other
I remember reading somewhere that they did
Good for practicing octaves.
Shouldn't sound like Mendelssohn's Songs without words or 1st piano concerto
Nice piece!
