Karl Tausig - Nocturne varié, Op.3

- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- This Nocturne called "L'Espérance" was published in 1856, which means that young Tausig composed this at an age of 15 or younger. It is possible that he composed it as early as in 1850, so at an age of 9 (!). Yes, it is Tausig (1841-1871) who was generally regarded as Franz Liszt's most esteemed pupil, and one of the greatest pianists of all time. Born in Poland he received his first piano lessons from his father, pianist and composer Aloys Tausig, a student of Sigismond Thalberg. His father introduced him to Franz Liszt in Weimar at the age of 14. He quickly became a favorite pupil of Liszt's, travelling with him on concert tours and studying counterpoint, composition and orchestration in addition to his piano lessons, and even taking on one of Liszt's pupils, Regina Watson, as his own. At the age of 16 he met Richard Wagner, of whom he became a devoted follower and friend. He also became a great admirer and friend of Johannes Brahms. Tausig made piano arrangements of many of Wagner's operas. He also introduced to Wagner his friend Peter Cornelius, another Wagner devotee.
In 1858 Tausig made his debut in Berlin at a concert conducted by Hans von Bülow. While some critics admired his technical feats at the keyboard, others found his playing noisy and overbearing. Even some who were more accommodating of Tausig's "Lisztian eccentricities" felt he would play better as he matured. Tausig toured through various German towns in 1859-60, making Dresden his base. He moved to Vienna in 1862; there he gave concerts of modern orchestral music, including some of his own symphonic poems. These concerts were only partially successful artistically and a failure financially. After staying out of public view for a few years, during which time he married pianist Seraphine von Vrabely (1841-1931), he began touring once again and was now considered a pianist of breadth and dignity of style.
He died in Leipzig from typhoid at the age of 29.
Tausig's repertory was extensive; he could play from memory works ranging from Scarlatti to Liszt. He was especially noted for his interpretations of Chopin, Weber and Beethoven, both for pianistic finish and intensity of emotion.
Some compositions are unfinished in existing manuscripts, left incomplete by Tausig for reasons unknown, most particularly a number of the transcriptions of Liszt's symphonic poems.
Tausig was considered by some critics to be the greatest of Liszt's pupils, pianistically speaking, and to carry pure virtuosity to heights only suggested by Liszt. Anton Rubinstein called him "the infallible."
Where Tausig differed from his teacher was in his lack of flamboyant gestures while playing. Tausig sat motionless at the piano and abhorred what he called Spektakel. While his fingers were working miracles at the keyboard without any digital errors, the only sign of tension from Tausig would be a slight tightening of one corner of his mouth.

Thanks for listening :-)
I absolutely adore how he so casually makes Tempo I at 2:14 blend perfectly. Excellent writing
Such talent, so sad he pass away so young.......
Идеально на балетное адажио. Просто супер❤❤❤Благодарю Вас
Melodies in the bass (as at 2:40) are something else. They tend to have this “longing” feeling. They are used beautifully in Liszt’s Reminiscences of Norma (outstanding arrangement by the way), among many other pieces.
wow, at such a young age! cool! just saw the descrption, that's the reason why Liszt came to my mind every time I hear this😄
Absolutely marvelous performance, wow. I need to listen to more Tausig pieces.
Tausig was a giant also as far as his original piano music. Unfortunately everyone and his grandfather knows him for pedantic exercises for pupils ignoring his stunning masterworks (same destiny as Hanon and, partially, Czerny who, nonetheless, is great even while writing pupils exercises hence is the greatest among didactic composers).
But Tausig original and non-exercises music is outstanding
unfortunately there is not much of that music left, given that he didn't live even 30 years unfortunately
@@PianoScoreVids you're right....😭😭😭but enough to celebrate
Wow first time I have heard this! Beautiful! Maybe one day I’ll learn to play it!
I love this piece of music and I'm eager to learn it. I have never heard of the composer so now I have found his works I will be listening for another of his masterpieces for piano to learn.
Wow...Surprisingly beautiful.....
Why surprisingly? :D Bad experience with Tausig?
@@PianoScoreVids Not at all, it's just... he is such an underrated composer; I had never heard this beautiful piece before, thanks for making it available!
RIP, and amazing excersize book
Wow nice music 🎹 Thanks for sharing friend 🎹
My ears and heart in awe.
What a lovely piece. Your playing is wonderful as well! I've never heard of this composer but will get the score and try it myself. Thank you!
Mais uma composição belíssima!👏👏👏👏
Composição belíssima e interpretação primorosa!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Excellent piece!
Thank you! 🙏❤️
Gush! It is very pretty.
Fascinating.
Thank You alwais!
Delightful!
Notturno di struttura tradizionale ma molto piacevole
The Nocturne is little known, but not a real rarity. On the other hand however, there is rarely the magisterium with which it is intepretation!
Вещь.
Браво!
To think what we lost musically with his dad had me at 29 years of age! Just think if only he could’ve lived 50 more years what he might have a dude exclamation
He wrote this when he was possibly 9!??? You played it close to the tempo marking too!
yes I think the marking is probably from the Composer in this case and andantes from that time were played rather fast, but slower would probably still work, but it's even with that tempo almost 5 minutes which feels long enough for what is being said
I think even an extremely talented nine -year -old would be unlikely to write something with so many octaves and large chords; his hands wouldn't have yet been big enough for that to be a natural way of arranging or playing.
Incredibly polished writing for fifteen or thereabouts!
A short explanation to Rachmaninov!
Lovely.Kind of chopinian but in a good way.
Не впевнений, що рука дев'ятирічного хлопчика здатна зіграти фрагмент на 2:25.
If he really composed it at the age of 9, then he certainly could not play it himself
Why not? They are Many virtuosic kids that can play harder pieces
@@alanleoneldavid1787 You don't seem to understand at all. It's not about things like "virtuosity". It is the simple biologic fact of a small hand at 9 years old completely incapable of playing these chords here. It is simply too small.

2:25 for example.
Bar 37 is not played correctly. In general, it seems that not every note is played, often simplified only the melody notes
You know this is him sight reading, right?
@@pfstrikes Sight reading? Do you see him sight reading? No?
Yeah, this whole channel is Gamma sight reading! He makes an occasional mistake, but he reads amazingly and plays with great expression for sight reading.
@@pfstrikes So you want to tell us, that the recording in the video is his first attempt?
Or close to it. You can go back and review his channel for years. You can find some live streams of just sight reading for an hour. He is something like an engineering graduate student who sight reads obscure works as a hobby/for fun so that we can all be exposed to music that we otherwise wouldn’t hear. Really!
