I'm shocked. I'm 50, i've been playing the piano for 40 years, i listen a ton of music, and i had never even heard the name of Henselt. Yet i read he was a star in his own time, praised by the big names. Those etudes are wonderful, very inspired and well written. Talk about a hidden gem ! This is why i love YT, thanks for the discovery :-)
Precious gems! Indeed. I like in particular no.11, but I know this is not a contest of popularity; just had to say that I find it particularly beautiful. Thanks for sharing this wonderful music.
These days I do not get excited anymore about pianists But this is the exception: A+ for what I hear and shame on me that I didn’t know her!!!! What a great pianist!
I'll never forget hearing this pianist in West palm playing Godowsky Buitenborg Gardens and Liszt-Paganini etudes even afer the lights were completely lost ! Always a fiery presence ,depth and deep tone and tonal sensitivity are her hallmarks !

Pretty much all of his music is Great just like Chopin's is, Beethoven whomever. Just go click any random composition from him on imslp and surly it will interest you.
@@zvikrol5220 Most of them depend on getting an audience to make a profit. This stuff is performed but you’ll probably have to be within the local groups of your area to hear it. Though there’s a few concert pianists that have performed his pieces in recent years
First heard of Henselt reading 'The Free Artists', a bio of Anton Rubinstein. I enjoy this set of etudes. I hear the influence of many other Romantic composers. I'm definitely interested in listening to more of his works to discern his individual style.
You can really see Henselt's obsession with hand stretching in these studies. Apparently he could stretch an 11th in his right hand and a 12th in his left.
Why does this set feel like the perfect mix between Moszkowski, Schumann, Schubert, and Chopin? I'm only 3 pieces in and this is rapidly becoming one of my favourite sets of etudes, along with Chopin's 10+25 and Lyapunov's Transcendental!
In the edition I have the no5 isn’t saying to roll the bass notes and with Henselt’s supposed flexibility in his fingers I wonder could he actually play those first beats as a block chord then play the next two eight notes with his inner fingers. That is what this etude seems to want but even with large hands it seems so difficult
This is a lower-levelled copy (but not bad) of the Etudes of Chopin, who was the greatest harmonicist and melodist of the 19th century (as Mozart in the 18th and Prokofiev in the 20th)
Prokofiev is complete garbage, and of everything you could praise chopin of, that's it? Please take your musical incompetence and lack of understanding elsewhere.

Please listen to his concerto if you have not already. And his ballade

The DSCH blew my Shostakovich-adoring mind.
@Miraak DSCH is a musical motto used by soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich
@@technik-lexikona small mind is easily blown by jack shit.
Oh my.. I just found out about Henselt and I am stunned! His style reminds me alot of Chopin and Alkan (esp alkan) and those works are phenonomal!
Pretty much all of his music is Great just like Chopin's is, Beethoven whomever. Just go click any random composition from him on imslp and surly it will interest you.
@@MrFartyman44 i always wondered why dont they play this beautifull rare music on concert halls more often!!!
Thank god for utube

He's great huh? Did you read his backstory?
he was only 24 when he composed the set, just as Chopin at 18. Composers of their time were so precocious
What a surprise! Chapeau!
Talk about a hidden gem !
This is sheer genius and poetry. My favourite composer from now on.
Very reminiscent of Schubert, Schumann, and Mendelssohn, with a touch of Chopin. Very pleasant compositions.
#2 very fine synthesis of Chopin's C-Major-Etude and G-Major-Prelude
Maravilhoso.
Thank you! I had Danklied nach dem Sturm on my mind recently and it is a great listen with the score.
Marvelous, shining like a star, beyond description.
beautiful playing!!!
These Etudes are pretty innovative for the time they were written. 30:20-30:35 sounds a lot like Bortkiewicz for example
Sounds like Chopin to me (op 25 n°5 & 12)
ヘンゼルトはロシアピアノ学派の礎を築きました。その後のロシア作曲家が似る所があるのはそう言う事です。
Ottima pagina pianistica e bellissima interpretazione.
Gran bel post. Complimenti.

Very beautifully played.
Gracias
Thanks so much for this. The pieces have charm.
cant stop listening to this music
3 and 10 my favourite etudes
I love the Hexentanz and my goodness that Db in the melody in measure 10 of the 10th etude, and what happens with the harmony there, WOW
No 3 is so great.
MrFartyman44 no 2 no3 and no 9 are superb
You can really see Henselt's obsession with hand stretching in these studies. Apparently he could stretch an 11th in his right hand and a 12th in his left.
Beautiful playing.
Thank you
Thank you so much for share this, love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Hexentanz is fantastic !
Yes it is!
#2 is like a mixture of Chopin’s op. 10 #1 and #8 (Waterfall + Sunshine = ???)
You mean #7?
Had the exact same thought.
@@Cromf no, number 7 is the "toccata"
For me also 10 #1, #8 and 25#5 (middle Section), I am not sure about Nr. 7
Waterfall + sunshine = rainbow
The robust harmonic movements in No. 4 remind me of Chopin at his best. This is very clever and stirring music.
I'm sorry, but Henselt at his best is worse than Chopin at his worst. But nevertheless this cycle is not bad
Eugenie Schumann records that Henselt was Clara's favourite pianist and that the first time she heard him she cried for days.
Ave Maria reminds me Soave il vento…

😭😭😭😭
This pianist is phenomenal. Indonesian pianist is she? Congrats!
Check out her recordings of Godowsky's Java Suite
Nummer two kind of sounds like Chopin 10 #1, #8 and 25#5 (middle Section). Nr.7 ist like Op 10 /8 (and 11?). Nr. is similar to Op 10/4
I hear DSCH in the 8th etude
After listening to this music, which is not bad, you can imagine the genius of Chopin (*1810) and the amateurism of Mendelssohn (*1809)
amateurism of Mendelssohn?! He knew what he was doing and he had a voice. I’m not sure about Henselt.
I like No.12 in 1.5x speed. The current tempo is too slow that the melodies in soprano and bass are inaudible.
Which sheet music editions exist for these études?
Well i can only find various Breitkopf und Härtel editions for the complete set of etudes

Henselt's etudes are not inferior to Chopin's etudes.
They should be performed in concert halls on a par with Chopin's etudes.
Greatly inferior. You lack in recognizing form and musical continuity.
Wow, so much worse than his Op. 2 set. Unsurprised he gave up composing.
What a terrible taste you have to be honest.
@@minhtriphung9373 He clearly had better taste than you did, recognizing he actually didn't end up being a great composer. Look itup, ass, lol
