- This is the best performance I can find of Franz Liszt's transcription (S552/R237) of Gioachino Rossini's famous William Tell Overture Finale, by pianist Kemal Gekić. Hopefully more pianists will record this piece, there were no top-notch video performances on you tube as of this upload.

Artist: unknown.
That's because their fingers fell off after this performance.
You must be as intelligent as the end of the video.
Luc Praslan the levels
That’s awesome 😂
It is not really too good performance - many inacuracies. If there was like few of them it would not be a problem but like that it is not so pleasant to listen

The performer for this is Kemal Gekić, and his full recording of the overture is on RUclips as well. I came across him somewhat accidentally while browsin through RUclips videos, and despite not being a household name, he's an absolutely amazing performer. Born in Croatia, he emigrated to the US, and is now Artist in Residence and Professor at the Florida International University. And this led me to yet another amazing discovery - the annual Miami Piano Festival. Lots of recordings from this festival on RUclips, and an introduction for me to many of the other remarkable artists performing there, including the Serbian pianist Misha Dacić, and the Ukranian Alexander Gavrylyuk (listen to his Scriabin!!!). These under-appreciated artists are amongst the wonders now available to all of us on RUclips.
Could you please share links to some of the most notable performances? I’m really curious now
Дмитрий Паржицкий The guy gave everything you need to look them up yourself
And certainly don't forget the absolutely unbelievable Jorge Luis Pratts!
Yes, they are AMAZING!
One does not ‘accidentally’ browse RUclips videos!
no one:
liszt: *makes covers of every piece he comes across*
A lot of his "covers" were written to bring attention to emerging or under-appreciated artists that he liked, such as Wagner and Berlioz, and his opera fantasies helped bring opera music (expensive and inaccessible to many people) into a wider audience. For that, I admire him :)
@@ladymacbethofmtsensk he even took the time to transcribe all of Beethoven's symphonies, and stayed true to them as much as he can; no fillers, cadenzas or improvisations. He's the reason why Beethoven's masterworks are still relevant today, as during his time they were starting to fade into obscurity, especially outside of B's home country.
it's him whjo make beethoven symphonies popular because of it
I can't imagine how to play that in this tempo, but I sure Liszt in beast mode when he wrote this transcription. Amazing interpretation! Thank you
is Liszt ever not in beast mode?
Liebestraum for example, another amazing piece:D ruclips.net/video/aZNdtAjnzyo/видео.html
no doubt about it Liszt is a god
This seems easy compared to his other works
I don't know how to be in "beast mode". My best try is Grande Etude de Tetris.
Ah yes the 41-let(2:56) my favorite
Nice profile picture!
You too!
@@johnhenderson5564 Thanks!
2:58 oh thanks for the "41" tip!
@@icancu9680 I mean it was a joke of my part but if you think only about the scale and when you want it to end it's not that hard. Of course, it won't be accurate

I love how the performer actually takes into account the odd rhythms and it gives this piece even more excitement
“Too Easy” only someone who is a legend in his own mind would make
such a comment.
This youtube channel is... something. Political memes, videogame playthroughs, and then, this. I am utterly confused, but really glad to find this gem.
Just a collection of random things I've been interested in over the years lol. Don't forget the rocket launches
Now I can die. I've heard everything.
*NOT YET*
For those of you who are wondering, the pianist is Kemal Gekic.
Is he Turkish?
@@AyAdam1337 Yes.
@@AyAdam1337 No! He is extraterrestrial
I actually think this is a really good performance! It's really, really easy to turn this piece into a completely discordant racket, but this performance balances the various voices well without sacrificing tempo.
Yes! There are many Liszt orchestral transcriptions for the piano where the performer can get bogged down with the plethora of notes, forgetting to balance the inner voices and muddying the whole piece. This pianist is extremely agile and keeping the tempo intact.
Whoever played this is off the charts fantastic.
How come there's only two comments for this? Thank you so much for posting! Incredible performance. (!!!)
This got Lisztified
I Lisztified the Tetris Theme as Grande Etude de Tetris.
As usual, Franz Liszt has outdone himself.!! Great transcription!
I love it when the smallest section of the screen is used to show the score, really helps me try to sight read.

Hey everyone, I created the original video from which this clip was cut. Thanks for watching!
Liszt has always been Hungary's most famous Composer til today. He is a Giant of a composer and pianist. Remarkable music always from him that always challenge the top Pianists. If you dont practise a lot on the piano, you can forget about playing his music.

@@Freun thats just not a pun. Do you think, its some kind of accident that he named it that way(not to mention Hungarian fantasy, and other pieces)?

I love this piece so much!
Holy smokes! That was exciting. I think I’ll listen again.
Amazing rendition
Thank you for the very detailed information! Very helpful
This so unbelievably hard. Yes beast mode for sure. I would love to hear Yuja Wang play this as an encore. She would bring the house down !
This is the best piece of music.
Liszt was and is A BEAST
Outstanding!!!!!!! This on piano....
Artist: Kemal Gekic. The rest of the CD is Rossini and its well worth it, especially the La Danza
Wow - to Liszt and the pianist!
wow ive never seen this at my university music library, could only find beethoveen symphony transcriptions :( much of the pattern reminds me the Summer by Vivaldi transcription I played. really keen!!!
Even if it's not in your university music library it's definitely in other libraries and it will be forever preserved as its been digitally scanned
Same goes for the hundreds of works Liszt wrote
너무 신나고 들을수록 재밌고, 행복해죾겠습니다

Liszt wrote these extremely difficult piano transcriptions as easily and quickly as I write would write out my weekly food shopping list.
😳😳😳 MERAVIGLIOSO. BRAVISSIMO.
Liszt is insane! The Beast!
Unbelievable!
I don't know if this is unique to our school, but I had to endure 4 years of this in highschool, this comes one usually right before the bell, meaning you better get your ass to class or you'll be late
I just realised that i put in my piece to learn playlist
Holy fknugget that's a crazy piece
Even though this was composed by Rossini, why does it sound so much like Liszt ? Amazing playing by the way
It's a Liszt transcription

Cool~~
Holy cow i never knew this existed 😀
Leave it to Lizst to make an already difficult piece even more difficult!
Hi Everybody...would someone be kind enough to tell me where can I buy this transcript for my daughter? Many thanks.
Your daughter is a beast if she can play this ! Also I think this might be it : ks4.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/8/8a/IMSLP04461-Liszt_-_William_Tell_Overture_by_Rossini.pdf (starts at page 18)
@@maximecloutier1223 I dont play piano proficiently enough to play this, however, I certainly insist on doing the whole piece. I was 2nd violin for my highschool orchestra when we did this and the cello part was very very good and emotional.
@@Evan-xp9uh I totally forgot about this video until your comment. Now thanks to you I'm thinking about learning it :p

Maxime Cloutier Thank you Mr Cloutier...on behalf of my daughter...thank you for being such a blessing to her. Seriously appreciate it.
what does Lizst covers mean? Answer: it means I cannot play it unless I practice 40 years a day :)
Me as a noob would not be able to play like this eventho i practice 40 hours a day all day everyday 😆
Crazy.......
Liszt was incredible
Wow. Is there anything Liszt didn't write!? Amazing! And great performance
One of the best recordings of a piano I've ever heard - I'm talking about the actual recorded sound.
the pianist is Kemal Gekić
Could somebody explain to me what the deal with the extra measures added over top are, like at 1:00 ? I’ve seen them in quite a few pieces but never understood what the deal was
Optional, harder parts. Your choice!
Brian Cooke Much obliged, thank you!
@Brian Cooke Otherwise known as “ossia”
Wait which one is more difficult in that case
Top or bottom?

How does he do the "duh-duh-duh" so fast??
When it's just one note, using a 3-2-1 fingering works well. Besides that, you kind of need to just be able to play very fast with your wrist.
@@nathanmannpiano5621 My issue is that the key doesn't come up quick enough
@@jackbreuhaus6244 hmm. Well on upright pianos, the keys take longer to return than on grand pianos, if you are playing on an upright that could be the issue. If you are playing on a grand piano, either you are not letting go of the note in time to play the next one (fingers or wrist is not fast enough), or your piano keys just return slow for whatever reason.
@@nathanmannpiano5621 Oh really, that's interesting. I have a keyboard so that's probably why, thanks!
More like william tell octave finale ahahahah I’m so funny ahahaha
0:20 bottom row, 1st measure, 2nd chord. how to play that without having hands like michael phelps?
It’s only a tenth, most males reach that hand span easily. Some females do as well.
Franz Liszt-Chopin this is actually untrue. A tenth is a little stretch for the average hand. I can hit an assisted 11th with my left hand and very stretched 10th with my right. I can hit an easy 10th with my left aslong as it’s on white keys.
malt3aserz I feel like you could omit the lower Es and Bs for the tenths in the left hand and it would still sound fine. Most pianists don’t have develop the ability to play major 10ths between white and black keys reliably in quick pieces like this one.
@@gwynbleiddroach2589 no problem. I can reach a twelfth (tell me if it's right, I am non native) with stretch and eleventh almost with ease
Gabriele Ferrari I mean, a tenth is a joke if you've seen pieces of Rachmaninov
x1,25 😊👌🏻
Dang. So this is what happens when you let Liszt write arrangements.
so, who's the pianist?
Kemal Gekic
This is party like in the eighteen hundreds'
Why?
Awesome, but does playing like this damage the piano? As a pianist I'm just curious.
Any playing at all technically damages the piano. But a piano's purpose is to be played, and if it is destroyed by a Liszt transcription, then so be it.
(cries in small-hand gang)
Would you perfer Liszt transcription of this , or Cziffra transcription of this?
Both are good, but I prefer liszt's
Cziffra’s isn’t really a transcription. It’s more in the style of the Liszt paraphrases or Reminiscences. Liszt’s is a direct transcription
Rossini Liszt?
RED PEN?
한국인이구먼
i knew that you came here after kassia's interpretation :)
Not exactly, I've just seen A Clockwork Orange again and this music appears in the film, after some research and thanks to my love for Liszt, I was able to discover that the latter had made an arrangement of Rossini's version.
A pleasant surprise!
