Many theories...
1- Its Liszt himself played the rest.
2- The piano was possessed by a mysterious spirit
3- Piano was a paid actor
4- Lang Lang is mega mind
5- some believe this is what happens when you practice 40 hours a day

[@anujaggarwal1065]

Liebesträume (German for Dreams of Love) is a set of three solo piano works (S.541/R.211) by Franz Liszt, published in 1850. Uhland's "Hohe Liebe" (exalted love) is saintly or religious love: the "martyr" renounces worldly love and "heaven has opened its gates". The second song "Seliger Tod" (blessed death) is often known by its first line ("Gestorben war ich", "I had died"), and evokes erotic love; ("I was dead from love's bliss; I lay buried in her arms; I was wakened by her kisses; I saw heaven in her eyes"). Liebestraum No. 3" is the last of the three that Liszt wrote, and the most popular. It can be considered as split into three sections, each divided by a fast cadenza requiring dexterous finger work and a very high degree of technical ability. It is one of the few times Liszt has shown that he can write colorful, lively music, instead of fancy arpeggios.

[@MiScusi69]

Thanks, but I can see Wikipedia by myself too

[@Happybidr]

Ahh the joy you feel when playing for your number one fan: yourself. I remember what sometimes seemed like a miracle of sound that even I could sometimes create with my own fingers, which never ceased to amaze. I’m not close to his level, but I still could celebrate the sound coming from my own fingers hitting the keyboard of a Steinway or a Yamaha grand.

Lang Lang surpasses all the living legends here and now.

I think he had to record that hundreds of times, cause he use to play Liebestraume faster and without clarity. But finally, this is his best interpretation.

Mon morceau préféré fut celui-ci. A chaque écoute, il me fait pleurer un torrent de larmes, des larmes chaudes, des larmes avec quelque chose d’enfantin, de nostalgique, de moi.

[@Ramsey-fw6pe]

Not the fact that he used his mind to play

[@clearhythm1]

Rumor has it Lang Lang failed to have adequate time in his schedule to master the whole piece. So he came up with the brilliant idea to get a player piano to perform the majority of it, with him only needing to perform the beginning and ending. He spent the rest of the time on the beach. For a much needed vacation... sheer brilliance!

[@sovietwizard1620]

A player piano can't play that part that well, he probably just kept his best recording, but i think you might be right that the part he played at the beginning was his since you could hear that it wasn't his 100% best
