Non musicians don’t know what to listen for in difficulty of music. They usually cheer for stuff like scales and chromatics, but don’t know that is one of the easiest things
@@milanerdei2527 This is a list put together by rousseau, but as he mentions, Difficulty is very subjective, and the difficulty of pieces are different for each pianist because the strengths very from musician to musician. 10) Balakirev - Islamey This piece often gets thrown around as being 'the most difficult piano piece'. Though insanely virtuosic and really beautiful melodically, this romantic work is far from the most difficult piano piece ever composed. 9) Beethoven - Hammerklavier (Piano Sonata No. 29) As the name suggests, this mammoth of a Sonata (which is almost 1 hour long) contains Beethoven's typical intensity, but also his beautiful melodic writing that makes it a challenge both physically and musically. The Fugue in particular is nigh on impossible to perform at the tempo Beethoven wrote, and is rarely attempted at full tempo even by pianists today. Legend says Beethoven claimed no one would be able to play it in 100 years, though not even 20 years after completion, a certain young Franz Liszt performed the work in what would be one of his greatest concerts. 8) Ravel - Gaspard de la nuit Arguably Ravel's greatest piano work - this set of three works based on poems by Bertrand is a musical wonder. The contrasting imagery Ravel captures in the three works is absolutely magical. The first piece, Ondine, tells the dream-like story of a nymph singing to lure an outsider into her underwater kingdom. The second, Le Gibet, a story about a corpse hanging in a desert with bells ringing from a nearby city, creating an eerie atmosphere. The third and final, Scarbo, a nightmarish goblin/devil who haunts the poet in his sleep - this work is also often flaunted as the most difficult piano work, but it definitely takes the cake in Impressionism. 7) Godowsky - Passacaglia in B Minor It's no surprise Godowsky's name begins with 'God', famed for his Chopin Etude studies, this piece is easily one of the best examples of variation theme. This work not only contains a virtuosic passacaglia (bassline repeats throughout) of gargantuan proportions, but then takes the theme and crafts an incredible fugue around it. Like many pieces so far, playing this work not only requires a massive feat of physical endurance, but extreme musicality and control. 6) Liszt - Gallop in A Minor What would a Top 10 piano list be without Liszt? Not much needs to be said here other than this fun Gallop is next to impossible to perform at tempo. C major/A minor are usually the first keys a pianist learns when starting out on piano, though they often don't know that these are the hardest keys to master, and virtuosic playing on black keys is significantly easier. You also know a piece is extremely difficult when most recordings of it are MIDI reproductions - Mereaux, a contemporary of Liszt, also wrote a devilish short work in A minor, his Etude, Op. 63 No. 45 and MIDI is the form you will find it in most often. 5) Alkan - Concerto for Solo Piano Alkan - Liszt's greatest rival in Paris. A good friend of both him and Chopin, the path of history has made him the lesser known virtuoso pianist of that time period, though he was equally respected during his time. An extremely rare form of concerto (which are usually for a solo instrument with an orchestral accompaniment - this work is almost stretching the definition of the style to its limits), this monumental work is one of Alkan's greatest, and one of the most difficult solo piano works of the romantic repertoire. 4) Ligeti - Piano Concerto One of the names most associated with "Piano Concerto" is Rachmaninoff, with his 2nd and 3rd piano concertos being some of the staples of the form, but in terms of pure difficulty, avant garde composer Ligeti may take the cake. Due to being extremely complex musically, containing two time signatures at once (4/4 & 12/8) along with changing tempo and extreme syncopation, it is arguably the most difficult piano concerto written to date. 3) Xenakis - Mists Up until this point, time signatures have been an important part in the piano works listed. Not here. Xenakis was not only a musician, but an architect and used mathematical models extensively in his music. In this piece, there is no time signature, but all of the musical content has been excruciatingly mathematically calculated. Actually playing this piece faithfully to the score is likely not physically possible for a human to achieve. 2) Messiaen - Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant-Jésus Now we get into the big leagues. Messiaen's Vingt Regards, a set of 20 pieces that in full is 2 hours long. Not only a pianist, but an organist too, religion was a big theme for Messiaen - this work is described as a meditation on the infancy of Jesus. With harmonic similarities to French Impressionism, infused with with the musical complexity and exploration of the early 20th century, this is one of Messiaen's greatest works, and certainly one of the most difficult. 1) Sorabji - Symphonic Variations for Piano This piece is 9 hours long. 9. Hours. Long. Sorabji is known for his ridiculously difficult and ridiculously long works, and this one is at the top of his list. This piece is so difficult, a full recording does not even exist, and in terms of pure difficulty - it is pretty safe to say that this is the most difficult piano work ever written. As always - take these with a grain of salt, a 'Top 10' list is highly subjective and there are thousands of pieces that would be fit to be here. There is too much difficult music out there and especially on RUclips, where audience retention is favored, it is impossible to capture a lot of what makes these works difficult.
You don't get it.... The part is the o ly part of the Piece when crowd CAN applaud. It's the way for a pianist to show how he master the piece and the crowd to applaud him before the final great part. You can watch the Lang Lang performance 2012. You'll note that this happens too, because it's acceptable.
I like how everyone cheered at the easiest part with the second chromatic up and the trill. That said you did a stellar job, especially considering you were in a cap and gown, it was windy and you were in front of your whole class.
And also, it is called a piece. At least know the difference before consulting me on matters detailing the complexity of certain sections of the piece.
Kyle Palsson this is not even close to being the hardest piece for piano. Listen to his rondo fantastique, his transcendental etudes no 4 and 5, his sonata in b minor, his Paganini etude no 6 and many more
It’s so sad that no one ever realizes how hard this song is, and it doesn’t really trigger any deep emotion, so it’s not the most fun to hear so no one even can say anything about it other than it was good
@@lukemockabee7407 calling a piece a “song” is like using the wrong gender pronoun it’s very offensive so please have respect for classical pieces and compositions and use their proper terms

Although it’s very disrespectful to clap or cheer during a performance, I think this situation it’s ok not to be so serious, he’s playing to impress and show his achievements, I mean look at his face as they cheer, does he seem unhappy about the confidence boost
@@edwinperea7545 Not to be that guy but I’m gonna be him anyway. I get what your saying but it really isn’t the climax it’s actually the opposite where the piece starts to calm down a bit the climax is the beginning of the coda
I love the reactions of non musicians or people without much insight on the difficulty of a piece like this. They go wild at the most absurdest things while literally the hardest parts are completely disregarded.
A lot of people don’t understand the shear amount of work that goes into mastering a piece like this, let alone the work it took to get to this skill level. Excellence performance!
That is incredibly impressive, given the weather conditions (wind), the graduation cloak and the enormous anxiety he must've felt since this was performed in a graduation ceremony.
I live in Australia and besides that beautiful playing, that graduation looks exactly what I thought an American graduation looks like, like high school musical real ness
As a musician who play piano and saxaphone this is the most sacraligist thing ive ever seen FIRST OF ALL YOU DO NOT CHEER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PERFORMANCE! LIZT CAMPANELLA IS THE HARDEST PIECE LIKE OMG AND PEOPLE ONLY CHEER WHEN THEY FIND SOMETHING IMPRESSIVE ARE YOU SERIOUS? THIS PIECE TAKES HOURS AND HOURS TO PERFECT OMFG I HAVE HAD SO MANY PRACTICES OF CRYING OMG
Most high schoolers do not play piano enough (or at all) to know how hard this is to play 😂 I’m still on grade 6-7 pieces but I understand how hard this piece is lol, I’m personally hoping that I’ll be able to play it in the next decade or so since any sooner would be a stretch 😅
I swear if I saw someone play this in real life I’d lose my shit I mean one of my three main goals in life is to learn this piece. Sad how people don’t realize the actual difficulty of it.
@@user-pf5nb9tu6n most likely they would roast the announcer for the egregious mispronunciation and the audience for a total lack of concert etiquette...
I’m a sophmore in high school and one of my lifelong music goals is to be able to play this piece. Definitely won’t be able to do it by my graduation but I can’t wait until the day that I make it happen. Playing moonlight sonata. 2nd movement rn but one day I’ll do this. Congrats man your at the pinnacle!
I like how most people in the comments seem to be aghast about the crowd cheering in the middle - it's a school performance, it's his tribute to everybody's graduation, he smiled when they cheered for him, it means both the crowd and the player have an understanding of each other regardless if most people in the crowd "don't understand the difficulty" (which I'm sure they do, I'm sure not everybody in the crowd there is so dumb as is being assumed). The trills were just a section he can kind of relax compared to the rest of the song, and the crowd showed him their support !!
It’s crazy how literally no one realizes how difficult it is and at least 90% of people don’t know the song in the first place and start cheering at the easiest part. He did an awesome job.
1. He is to be commended for playing one of the most difficult pieces in the piano repertoire outdoors, on a windy day, with a barely stable piano, in a graduation gown. 2. LOL @ the audience clapping. Like most modern audiences, they aren’t familiar with classical protocol. Admittedly, that chromatic run section they are applauding is pretty cool. Although, again to be fair, this might be more period-appropriate, since Liszt’s audiences were known to be wild, scream, cheer, faint, and fight over his discarded gloves. 3. LOL @ her pronunciation. To be fair, she probably thought it was Spanish, in which case it WOULD be pronounced “campaneya” as the double-l has a “y” sound. Someone should’ve told her it was Italian. 4. The sound people did a really good job also of capturing the best sound profile and great volume in an outdoor space. Even with a full concert grand, piano/pianissimo sections can be washed out. Especially with wind. Overall, applause protocol breaches and pronunciation issues aside, this was great. This kid kept his cool in a situation that wouldn’t even be easy for a professional concert pianist and did an amazing job. Very few wrong notes given the environment and challenges, and great structure to the piece as well. Some great moments of real virtuosity. Kudos to him.
I would love doing this. Your music set my soul on fire like the first time I heard this piece, when it hasn’t been quite so magical of late. I applaud you, my friend.
Amazing, Wonderful performance!!!! Playing this outside greatly compounds sound issues. The piano was beautifully tuned and miked!!!! Accoustics were ecellent as if it were in a top concert hall!!!! This 7 ft piano sounded as good as a Hamburg 9' Steinway!!!
Liszt, whose heavy concert schedule included some venues with conditions almost as dodgy as a windy football field with the pianist wearing graduation robes, is on his feet applauding in the Great Beyond.

Razin Saiful well the main focus of my joke is the emcee said TONIGHT !
Jj Gabriel AHAHHAAHHA TONIGHT ARE YOU KIDDING ME 😂😂
I put this in one of my playlists for motivation. This guy must've felt like a boss after that!
@James Yong 勇 much WoW
Congrats and such a great performance. Nothing more badass than commemorating by playing a piece hundreds of years old.
What a God!
damn i wish i graduated like this so that i am a badass embedded in my school's memory forever
the BALLS he has😭 i could never play in front of so many people let alone this piece and that well🥺😭
I live in Australia and besides that beautiful playing, that graduation looks exactly what I thought an American graduation looks like, like high school musical real ness
I think we all collectively thought "OI! SHUT UP" when they started clapping
🤣👍!!!
Great playing. Very treacherous piece La Campanella is.
This is respectable, because instead of choosing a random anime song, he chose to play one of the hardest pieces that was ever made.
We all wish we were half as good as this guy.
As a musician who play piano and saxaphone this is the most sacraligist thing ive ever seen FIRST OF ALL YOU DO NOT CHEER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PERFORMANCE! LIZT CAMPANELLA IS THE HARDEST PIECE LIKE OMG AND PEOPLE ONLY CHEER WHEN THEY FIND SOMETHING IMPRESSIVE ARE YOU SERIOUS? THIS PIECE TAKES HOURS AND HOURS TO PERFECT OMFG I HAVE HAD SO MANY PRACTICES OF CRYING OMG
You're a moron.
@@javascriptkiddie2718 how?!!!
Most high schoolers do not play piano enough (or at all) to know how hard this is to play 😂 I’m still on grade 6-7 pieces but I understand how hard this piece is lol, I’m personally hoping that I’ll be able to play it in the next decade or so since any sooner would be a stretch 😅
@@orionyxe you will!! I'm so proud if you
Its not the hardest piece ever lmao, not even top 50 but still difficult. Liszt himself has composed harder pieces than this.
plot twist: they know which is the easiest part to cheer the guy to keep him motivated and let him focus on the difficult ones
Wow!! Is this a fresh high school graduate or a professional pianist!!! Incredible!
audience brain: repeating high note = clap mode activate
I admire this guy, playing la Campanella in his graduation, considering the high chances of messing up those huge octave jumps, scales etc..
Greatest part is 99% of the people in the crowd have no idea how difficult this is.
I swear if I saw someone play this in real life I’d lose my shit I mean one of my three main goals in life is to learn this piece.
Sad how people don’t realize the actual difficulty of it.
It's about showmanship y'all. Music is performed, for other people. This dude did a great job reacting to the crowd.
OMG and this is HIGH SCHOOL?! What a brilliant piece played by a brilliant pianist!
All the pianists when they start wooing, " nonono, i wanna hear it". 🤣
This is a talent
Beast
Two Set Need to see this
Yeah so they can roast him and the announcer
@@user-pf5nb9tu6n most likely they would roast the announcer for the egregious mispronunciation and the audience for a total lack of concert etiquette...
As a musician (not pianist) myself I can confirm this is one of the hardest if not the hardest piano pieces in history.
Not really the hardest but still very hard
Not even top 100 💀
I’m a sophmore in high school and one of my lifelong music goals is to be able to play this piece. Definitely won’t be able to do it by my graduation but I can’t wait until the day that I make it happen. Playing moonlight sonata. 2nd movement rn but one day I’ll do this. Congrats man your at the pinnacle!
Moonlight sonata has a second movement?
@@Clyde0000it has 3 mvt xd
@@raphaelguerin2691 I was joking
@@Clyde0000 fr he didnt get the joke
why the seocnd movment
The audience really had no idea what they just witnessed
Every musician in a 100km radio at 3:28: really?
@@wuzz I think he means radius
that's actually amazing in the wind and with those sleeves in front of the whole school
3:23 CRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGEEEEEEEE CAMPAAAANAAAAAAAAYAAAAAAA BOOOY
Nooooo
I like how most people in the comments seem to be aghast about the crowd cheering in the middle - it's a school performance, it's his tribute to everybody's graduation, he smiled when they cheered for him, it means both the crowd and the player have an understanding of each other regardless if most people in the crowd "don't understand the difficulty" (which I'm sure they do, I'm sure not everybody in the crowd there is so dumb as is being assumed). The trills were just a section he can kind of relax compared to the rest of the song, and the crowd showed him their support !!
Jajaja that claps in the middle makes this performace see as a rock concert.
Amazing, this is the most beautiful performance i ´ve heard of this piece!😢
only musicians can really grasp the amount of pain that this song causes on the fingers
It’s crazy how literally no one realizes how difficult it is and at least 90% of people don’t know the song in the first place and start cheering at the easiest part. He did an awesome job.
What a badass. Great performance
This doesn’t go out of my head again, I keep saying la campaneya ever since...
1. He is to be commended for playing one of the most difficult pieces in the piano repertoire outdoors, on a windy day, with a barely stable piano, in a graduation gown.
2. LOL @ the audience clapping. Like most modern audiences, they aren’t familiar with classical protocol. Admittedly, that chromatic run section they are applauding is pretty cool. Although, again to be fair, this might be more period-appropriate, since Liszt’s audiences were known to be wild, scream, cheer, faint, and fight over his discarded gloves.
3. LOL @ her pronunciation. To be fair, she probably thought it was Spanish, in which case it WOULD be pronounced “campaneya” as the double-l has a “y” sound. Someone should’ve told her it was Italian.
4. The sound people did a really good job also of capturing the best sound profile and great volume in an outdoor space. Even with a full concert grand, piano/pianissimo sections can be washed out. Especially with wind.
Overall, applause protocol breaches and pronunciation issues aside, this was great. This kid kept his cool in a situation that wouldn’t even be easy for a professional concert pianist and did an amazing job. Very few wrong notes given the environment and challenges, and great structure to the piece as well. Some great moments of real virtuosity. Kudos to him.
I can only imagine the absurd amount of pressure I would feel if I were to do this. That performance was something else.
I would love doing this. Your music set my soul on fire like the first time I heard this piece, when it hasn’t been quite so magical of late. I applaud you, my friend.
Amazing, Wonderful performance!!!! Playing this outside greatly compounds sound issues. The piano was beautifully tuned and miked!!!! Accoustics were ecellent as if it were in a top concert hall!!!! This 7 ft piano sounded as good as a Hamburg 9' Steinway!!!
I’m impressed by the zoom of that camera
Imagine witnessing years of practice and dedication all in 5 minutes 😅
As liszt would say, congratulations on graduating my class.
Liszt, whose heavy concert schedule included some venues with conditions almost as dodgy as a windy football field with the pianist wearing graduation robes, is on his feet applauding in the Great Beyond.
Ah yes la Campanella i learned it before I was born
bruh
Meh, I played it before the piano was even invented
@@Alexytb11 what I only the first part but I am practicing the song
I literally got goosebumps at the coda. Crazy performance in front of that many people
I bet if he played fur Elise way more people would recognize it and be more excited
Which is what is so sad
La Campenella is already overrated.
This is really motivating… right now going to start my junior year of highschool where I’m focusing alot on Debussy (arabesque, Clair de lune) and also working on czerny Velocity books. Was planning on trying this my senior year and thought it would be near impossible but after seeing this I ask sufficiently motivated motivated
2:18 is my favorite part of the song, it’s so good
I don’t know what to be impressed by because I find everything but the first 6 seconds to this piece hard 😭😭
This Video needs more attention
my bro playing one of the hardest piece and the audience applause at the trill
