Such clarity in a live performance
It's really astounding!
Katsaris’ playing is always scarily clear. He brings out voices in this performance that no other pianist seems to notice!!
Wow! This is not for the faint hearted! Impeccable.
For a more conservative Toccata, try the Robert Schumann. Still a fist-full of notes!
The Schumann is much harder to play actually
this is overwhelmingly the BEST of this piece.
Of course, most of the pianist including virtuoso can play this difficult piece without making mistake even one note. However, generally be played in a very solid and noisy way.
Compared to them, Katsaris plays each note incredibly softly and gorgeously, without being too loud. Despite this, it is a sound of cohesive hard energy. It is magic itself.
"without making mistake even one note" is an exaggeration -- every single performance I have heard has at least one mistake -- even in this one there is a mistake at 1:16 where Katsaris misses the C#.
Heavy Metal in classic music
This is funky, very funky somehow!
This is such a fun little piece!
Exhilarating piece!
Thanks! Clean, clear, musical, fantastic!
Listening to this while high is a disturbingly unpleasant experience. Makes you feel like you’re losing your mind 😂
Not that different from listening to it while not high 😜
As well as when you' re not high 😂
In graduate music school, we called this piece the *"Ass Ripper" !*
Excellent. Left me breathless
Groovy, man
Great performance.
Veryyy niceeee
Sounds like the opening of Liszt's 'Mephisto Waltz'
Phew! Seriously? Fantastic concert performance! I prefer some other Prokofiev works, but the Toccata breathes brooding menace, explosive excitement and carefully controlled chaos. Those who don't like this should try listening again.
hey but that 0,1 second after the performance has ended and the applause started.... Let us hear the ending *please*
A surprising amount of people here that are disregarding this piece as noise. Be encouraged to not check out Bartok, or even Stravinsky. You’ll lose your shit.
Or late Scriabin.
Or sorabji
boss battle theme !!!
Bravoooooo
Live??!!!
Prokofiev must have been on drugs when he composed this piece. Or else he was having a psychotic episode.
That one key must have been really filthy!
미친ㅠ 라이브였어 ㅠㅠ
Nice work
Памятник тому кто это все разучил
Pour sur
Creepy
Diabolical , j did't not saw the end of Czerny-Toccata j remember but here there is not a end : for me the end is in the midlle !
정신이 멍해진다...
Ебанько 👍
Dont understand pieces like this...
Why ?
not armonic
there is nothing to understand : toccatas are a perpetuum-mobile and nothing more !
@@larsen02h06 do you even know what is harmony?
Sounds like shit.
My only peeve with this performance is that the pianist practically ignored all the dynamics. There were supposed to be sharp contrasts that were not played at all,and accents that were ignored.
Hali, I don't agree with you. The dynamics are superb.
Yuja Wang's performance is more thrilling.....also on RUclips.
Very nice for practicing the technique, but it sounds like me entering random notes into my MNS lol
except it's actually music of quality with conceptional virtuosity too
@@musik350 That depends on a personal taste.
no, it's impossible to neglect the fact that this piece also has a lot of conceptional virtuosity@@user-gm2gj1xi4v
@@musik350 Hey, I'm sorry because I didn't mention that I meant to comment your opinion about its quality. I *personally* don't like it, but I don't have anything against the people who prefer to listen to this sort of music.
But I agree with that it has a conceptional virtiosity. Have a nice day, K.R.
To many notes, such a complex technique work. And the result is a musical nonsense.
What a stupid thing to say,
@@hrh2842 indeed
I heavily disagree
Too bad your ears only work at blues
Indeed. I agree.
Imo this shouldn't be performed for an audience. It sounds like absolute gibberish. But, it can be extremely useful for practising your technique.
What? This sounds phenomenal!
bl00dwork who would put their headphones on and listen to this?
@@DariusMo oh don't get me wrong, I love this piece, it's just I think to a common audience (ie recitals and concerts) it will sound like gibberish
@@ruskibeaner5983 Well then a lot of other pieces do as well, even by "conventional" composers like liszt etc. I think the pianist should decide for themselves what to play, and if they want to play this great piece they should do so
@@tibetatakan Me? And many other people? Just because something might sound odd to you doesn't mean it's "wrong" or bad.
Id rather listen to a typewriter. 20th century by and large....SUX
What a horrible piece. Katsaris has mastered piano to a degree that he can waste some of his time studying this garbage.
Horrible piece, more like interesting and not boring, high IQ goodness plus your an ass to call this a horrible piece AND calling it garbage. Like who has the mental capacity to call a PROKOFIEV PIECE GARBAGE 😂
@@michelhadad569 hum.... I don't agree with what Marco Aguila is saying, but why should a composer like Prokoviev be prevented from making errors? What you say is kinda absurd.
clement r. That’s not what I meant, well I kinda did but he literally called this piece horrible and garbage in one sentence like that takes some skill to call a wonderful composer that
@@michelhadad569 you're right 😀 even if I don't like this pièce at all, due to the lack of harmony (which is part of the pièce of course) I won't treat it of garbage, it is just... Not for me ;)
clement r. That’s good that we agree :) and I agree that it doesn’t have that much harmony but I bet Prokofiev purposely did that
