Agreed, his Hyperion recording is really phenomenal; but I can’t use that because of copyright law :( So I used his live performance, which contains many mistakes..
Ok, if the phenomenal *Lesile Howard * is struggling with some of these passages a little (I'm thinking in particularly to around the 12:50 and 15:20 minute mark and the conclusion) that to me tells me that this piece is nearing the threshold of *unplayable*. Overall, this piece is just mind-bogglingly technically demanding, but it achieves this at the expense of some of its musicality. The piece has some phenomenal musical content, but it's so overblown with virtuosity that it loses some of its punch. I love Liszt, and this piece is amazing, but it is a bit... much. That being said, some of these passages and harmonies are wild for the time. Makes me wish Liszt would have rethought this piece and paired it down a little to be less of a showpiece and more of an artistic statement.
I sometimes feel like Liszt is still out there writing new music 🤦♂️ Every generation has thought they had heard it all, but none of us have. Ridiculous.
That's why Liszt decided not to publish it during his lifetime. It was not until 2009 that the Liszt Society finally published this piece in its Journal.
To be fair, it was still kind of a rough draft which Liszt almost finished but never really did and just abandoned it. I'm pretty sure if he still worked on it, he would've fixed a few things that didn't seem right.
I used the sheet music uploaded at Musesore, musescore.com/user/34074673/scores/6767569 But beware, that score is full of wrong notes.. (actually I edited the whole score by myself, referring the urtext of this piece.)
un pianistic writing here. Doesn't feel like Liszt. The awkward notes are not smooth and wittingly placed as Liszt usually do in his big works like Reminiscense de Norma
This piece is practically a draft that Liszt didn't even decide to publish and thought no one would find. This score was only found between 2000 and 2010
Just a Little c major piece for beginner
16:54 oh my lord!
That's not even the hard part 💩
alkan mode
Terribly played. Very cringe
@@Chorizo727 go play it yourself then, I'd be happy if you played it nicely
Love this easy piece. I played it in a recital in 3rd grade.
ok
your hand must be small
So did I. Small world. LOL
Well, it was my sight reading test when I was 10 years old! 👻👻👻
pfft, only in 3rd grade? I played it when I was only 3 years old 😏
Im sure someone will misunderstand this, so p.s. I am being sarcastic
13:16 spanish rhapsody hehe
Its the same theme, 'Jota Aragonesa'
Liszt’s compositions about ‘Spanish’ are danm good and difficult. It’s ambivalent.
¡Viva la Santa Inquisición!
@@sawney-21 wtf
@@paumasabad1449Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
Do yourself a favor hear from 6:00 just amazing.
Wow thanks!
Bravo bravo bravo
The second theme is actually identified in a paper I read. It is without a doubt the Minué Afandangado by F.M. López.
jota aragonesa makes me pleasure. bravo!
Nice
This thing is one of those piece that sounds much easier than it actual is.
Bravo !! 👏
Cool

2:54 6:58 11:23 16:17
Spain and Portugal had to have the greatest baddies for Liszt to be inspired to write these difficult virtuosic pieces so he could impress them
polytonal? bitonal? The opening feels like the left and right hands are in different keys
13:15 sounds familiar...

Nowhere near the level of his studio recording, but that’s Hyperion copyrighted…

can someone link his studio recording so i can listen to it?
@@anthonyc6017 Buy it and help the guy out, he deserves it.

What in the fuck is going on at 16:17? Thirds glissandos!? Are they harder or easier than octave glissandos, I wonder?
That's one of the most hard passages of this piece, but generally octave glissandos are much harder than thrid glissandos.
@@dd8436 That makes sense I guess, the pinky is weaker than the middle-finger.
it'd be funny if this is where ravel got the idea to do pretty much the exact same thing in miroirs
Thirds glissandos are way easier than octave glissandos

I can think of no piece with a worse work to reward ratio.
