Hardest piano piece! Liszt - Étude S140 no 4b by Yi-Chung Huang
This is Yi-Chung Huang's interpretation of the Études d'exécution transcendante d'après Paganini, S140 no. 4b "Arpeggio", by Liszt. It is a crazy, absolutely phenomenal high-tempo performance for this piece, considered one of the most challenging etudes to perform on the piano.

This piece is an alternate, harder version (compared to 4a etude) of the fourth etude in Liszt’s set of six studies based on the compositions of Niccolò Paganini, the legendary violinist. It is an arpeggio study that requires the pianist to play rapid and wide-spanning arpeggios in both hands, often crossing over each other, while maintaining a clear melody and a smooth legato. The piece is in E major and has a graceful and elegant character, but also a dazzling and virtuosic display of technique.
The piece is based on Paganini’s Caprice No. 1 in E major for solo violin, which is itself a very challenging work that tests the violinist’s agility, accuracy, and intonation. Liszt transcribed the caprice for the piano, adding his own embellishments and variations, and making it even more difficult by expanding the range of the arpeggios to cover the entire keyboard. The piece is divided into three sections: an introduction, a main theme with four variations, and a coda.
The introduction begins with a series of ascending and descending arpeggios in both hands, creating a shimmering effect. The main theme is then presented in the right hand, accompanied by arpeggios in the left hand. The theme is repeated with slight changes and more elaborate arpeggios. The first variation is a chromatic variation, where the theme is played in semitones, creating a more dissonant and expressive sound. The second variation is a rhythmic variation, where the theme is played in syncopated and dotted rhythms, creating a more playful and lively mood. The third variation is a harmonic variation, where the theme is played in different keys, modulating through various tonalities. The fourth variation is a melodic variation, where the theme is played in octaves, creating a more powerful and brilliant sound.
The coda is a recapitulation of the introduction, followed by a final flourish of arpeggios that end with a triumphant chord. The piece is a true test of the pianist’s stamina, speed, accuracy, and musicality. It is a stunning example of Liszt’s genius and virtuosity, and a homage to Paganini’s legacy.

bravo
Huang's channel used to have a legendary recording of Liszt's Spanish Fantasy but I guess he's quite the quirky fellow and removed everything :(
It’s still on TH-cam
@@henrykwieniawski7233 Yeah but he cleared the channel.
This is barely humanly possible and bros doing it like its nothing
aint no way liszt played 1:47 with only his left hand
He actually did, and rumors say he would add extra arpeggios on top of that with his RH. Liszt probably was the best piano player who ever lived
@@Velnox we need a transcription of that
what is blud warmup 💀💀🥶🥶
1:48, WTF
Who is this???
A Paganini-Liszt etude (an earlier versión). The number four, Indeed.
It’s Yi Chung Huang, known colloquially as LaDivinaFanatic
A tad bit fast, but it's still amazing!
How is this not viral? I'm not even playing piano, where is the piano community?
btw liszt is said to play 1:48 all left hand 😊
ТЫ ТОТ САМЫЙ ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЬ, КОТОРЫЙ СЫГРАЛ ИСПАНСКУЮ ФАНТАЗИЮ ЛИСТА, ОТ КОТОРОЙ ВСЕ В ШОКЕ???
👍
Incredibly underrated performance
Especially the WTF part 1:47 2:25 2:35
If this is too fast and therefore too unmusical, then all the great violinists who've recorded/performed the original piece (Caprice no 1) are also unmusical by this logic. It's very easy to pick out the musicality and correct voicing and articulations and the pseudo-legato he manages to pull off where real legato is impossible, if you have any ear whatsoever. People who criticize this on these grounds don't have the ability to process the music at this tempo - that's your failing, not the performer's. However to be fair to the other side, Petrov and Filipec could play this at this tempo as well if they wanted to participate in a speed/technique contest and Petrov could do it cleaner (Petrov was almost a double Cliburn-Queen Elisabeth winner). I think there is an ignorance on both sides here, and his fans assume other pianists can't play at this tempo if they had the schedule to do it. You legitimately don't think Yuncham Lim or Yuja Wang or Denis Matsuev could play this at this tempo?
I love that piece
0:02 summoning Liszt
Bravo!
you wont understand how incredibly fucking difficult 2:25 is until you try it yourself. its an actual nightmare trying to keep my hands from overreaching or under reaching while doing this at less than half speed. this dude is lucky he has such large hands
Yes it's one of the most difficult parts for me as well, but 2:36 as well as the deadly jumps x3 is just too much for me
I thought he said he could only reach a tenth
@@Jartious maybe a big 10th. Besides they're broken 10ths so it matters less
@@SuperDieu_6666 yeah
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! How is this not viral?!!
Because there are wrong notes
@@Chipsomedipthat’s not a reason
I will make it viral!
How did you acquire this recording?? This is incredible : D
OMG… CRAZY
He deserve way more fame,why taylor swift is more popular than him ? Why dont humanity praise talent and hard work
That’s what I was thinking!
💯
Because most people either don’t want to work or aren’t capable themselves. Sad I agree
Because this doesn’t sound pleasing to most people. You wouldn’t listen to this in the bus or in a car ride. You would just appreciate this once
@@oengd1696I listen to Scriabin's prometheus and Scelsi's Konx Om Pax quite often when on the bus ride to my grandparents. Maybe I'm just weird though...
What fingerings did you use for the first variation?
Don’t try
Don’t even try.
21345
All these years I thought it was impossible
The best one
incredible. a real insight into liszt.
"real insight" i'm dying 🤣🤣🤣 he just played the notes (don't get me wrong, it's fabulous but still)
@@SuperDieu_6666bro forgot musicality exists
@@StinewayNSuns_old where did you find musicality into what he played ? Sorry if I'm understanding your answer wrong
@@SuperDieu_6666 tho it is like 99% technique theres still a bit of musicality there. idk how to point it its everywhere, u just have to listen for it
@@StinewayNSuns_old yes, he still put some nuances here and there, but as you said, it was 99% technique, so it's not really an insight into Liszt, but more of an achievement (which is great, but not as much as an insight)
Can I use this video?
It's as if Franz Liszt possessed him
この曲Andante quasi Allegrettoにも関わらず、なるべく原曲のCaprice第1番のテンポに寄せて、さらに、分厚い和音も軽く弾けてる。彼は間違いなく人外であろう。
1:47 nah is bro hacking?
I think
がちでえぐいｗｗｗｗ
Good work. Too bad this piece is absolute trash.
w
Is this Liszt's fault or Paganini's fault who composed it?
@@pianista-mediocre This piece is not bad
@@pappi0202 I don't like Caprice n1 👍
@@pianista-mediocre its ok
Sloppy and disorientating... technique there for sure, but abused and misused. Why play at such an excessive tempo, where there's a slipped note in almost every single measure? As demanding as this étude is, it is incomprehensible to assume a position where wrong notes and sloppiness are considered acceptable.... yes, musicality does surpasses all mechanical errors, but this interpretation seems like playing for the sake of playing. It is difficult to fathom, as the same person's Spanish Fantasy is technically out of this world, and musically quite convincing also... absolutely unbelievable.
I love the ego classical music gives people. I laugh every time
bruh😂
Apparently she doesn't like this piece and actually played it just to say "I played it in violin tempo" The piece itself doesn't help either. Paganini's whim n1 is pretty bad
it ain't beethoven. it's 19th century pop music. who cares about odd wrong notes. this is a great performance un exactly the right spirit of going for it with bells on.
It is because this piece is marked at a tempo that is nearly impossible to play at. This is harder than the Spanish Fantasy. I would bet you money that this is pretty similar to how Liszt's version of this sounded.
NOiCE
What a inhumman performance how is this even possible at that tempo this is god like technique at this point
Dude is insane
Legendary!
Agree
So hard to find video recordings of good performances for S140 4b, this video deserves way more views! Incredible performance.
Also it's the best interpretation recorded
@@ensiehsafary7633 no way
@@cziffrathegreat666 given hes the only one who has played it at a tempo that fits the music id say it is, plus if you dont like this one there are other videos of him playing it at different competitions, a total of 3 if im not mistaken. so id say given what we have in recordings he is the best at playing this piece.
@@devchampeaux1864 nope musicality at that speed is very hard and although I credit him for being able to play it convincingly at tempo, there are slower interpretations that sound much better as of today...
@@cziffrathegreat666 like u just said “slower interpretation” so my point still stands
Great! Awesome! Wonderful! The composer must have been a genius!
The person who transcribed it for piano as a study really was brilliant. The piece itself is pretty bad
@@pianista-mediocre Um...
Lol
This piece is only for left hand 😂
一部音外しているけど、この速さで弾ける事自体離れ業で凄い！！😮👍✨
Really? Did you really want to post a video of this performance? Not sure if you really know music
Musically it is distressing
Your comment is distressing
@@lunagardvonbingen Take advantage of the positive side. That's not music. Where are the breaths? It's all messed up.
@@AlbertoCobo This piece is a "hyper" etude meaning, since for the past 200 years, people have been trying to play it at tempo. It has become somewhat of a challenge- a record to beat. A few wrong notes here and there is completely offset by the speed and relative clarity. You completely miss the point of this performance, just as much as you don't realize how difficult it actually is. For a long time it was believed to be physically impossible. But this is just mere seconds slower than tempo.
@@lunagardvonbingen It would be better if you listened to the disciples of Liszt himself, who instilled in them that music had to flourish from the soul, that speed is not an end in itself. Even more so, if this supposed speed results in a musical coven, instead of a game, an exhibition of brilliant, virtuous but transcendental ideas...
@@AlbertoCobo Oh I'm well aware of the romantic philosophy when it comes to performance. Especially from the teachings of Clara Schumann, Brahms, and Rosenthal. Nonetheless, Liszt was in his early 20's when this was composed. Therefore you must account for the intention of a young Liszt who wanted to impress. Is the difficult itself not enough evidence?
i’m literally freaking out
Dang, this is even faster than those synthesia videos...
bro has long hair just like liszt himself, unbelievable playing
ldf my humble king let me wash your feet
Hi ldf baby girl I am your biggest fan ❤❤❤❤
He’s a boy.
Gay
That’s gay
Ladies and gentlement...Liszt hinself!
And the keys on historical pianos were much lighter.
사실은 연주가 가능한지 아닌지 부터 의심이 많았던 곡이죠😂 그런 곡을 이 속도로 완주했다는게 진짜 대단하네요..ㄷㄷ
