yeah xD Liszt must be so drunk when he wrote this lol :D also i will try to listen to Mereaux's Bolero soon :) wanna try to check Mereaux's way of composing lol :))
i read your comment saying that this is probably one of liszt's hardest, but I don't really get it. could you please explain as maybe i don't understand because it's a synthesia video and i'm not even at the level to be able to play pieces such as beethoven's appassionata lol
Hey Liszthesis, just want to say, thank you so much for creating this and putting it out here. I literally adore this piece a lot, and fell in love with it as soon as I discovered Leslie Howard's performance of this piece years ago. Before this, I looked everywhere for the sheet music, for years, and it was something I could never find; your creation of this was literally the panacea for all my troubles regarding this piece. Right now, I'm proud to say, that - using yours and mendes' video as a guide - I've almost finished working on this piece, just 30 seconds away from the finish line, at the pure octaves section... (though getting it to performance standard is another thing altogether!). Looking back, this was the hardest (and painful!) piece I've ever tackled in my life!! And I have played pieces like Chopin's Ballade 4, Alkan's 30 ans and Festin d'esope, Liszt's Robert le Diable etc, prior to this...My hands literally got calluses from learning this piece, and were even bleeding along the way, but all this was worth it. It's a wonderful piece and it will always remain special to me. Thanks a lot for working on a project like that, and putting it right here!
Good luck on attempting to perform this such crazy and extraordinary and insanely difficult work!!! I'm very glad to be your inspiration :D May I and everyone have a chance to see your performance if you finish learning this piece? It would be very nice! And yeah this piece is a freaking hell complication of craziest techniques every written for the piano repertoire lol: crazy jumps, restless octaves, hand crossing etc., this piece litterally was written to kill pianists lol :P please don't injure yourself hehe
@@Liszthesis Thanks! And sure, once I feel my playing is good enough and I'm ready, I'll be sure to make a video recording of it and upload it here. :)
@@mazeppa1231 have u finished learning it? I would love to hear more recordings of someone irl performing this, since there are only like 1 or 2 on TH-cam, including Leslie Howard’s.
@@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji I think the grace notes here are more crazy because you have to change finger position right after you play the grace notes in some of them (13:29)
@@TheModicaLiszt practice makes perfect, maybe :).An example is that Zimmerman took 76 attempts to make a recording of Sonata in B minor that he is satisfied. Guess how many attempts did Howard take to make such a nice recording of this piece lol :D
Liszthesis Of course: Howard must have stopped and restarted so often to get a perfect take. In terms of the Sonata in B Minor, I like Grynyuk’s recording slightly more than Zimerman’s, but both are extraordinary interpretations of one of Liszt’s greatest works :)
@@TheModicaLiszt That might be the reason why Howard's recordings are excellent! Also I haven't check the performance of Sonata by that guy, I will try to listen it :)
@@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji Most of the songs by amedee meraux show great finesse in three to four minutes, but that song by franz liszt is the most difficult of his songs. Even if it's a song by amedee meraux, I think that song and Spanish fantasy can be a part of the scale of the song and it's hard to catch up. I'm Korean, so I don't know if you understand me.
This piece has the best thumbnail of the channel 😂 Other great thumbnails examples are: S608 is great but for being a piece for 4 hands is less impressive; S694 is pretty interesting
@@Liszthesis sorry to bother you again but has anyone ever performed this? I can’t seem to find any performances of it on youtube. Only Spanish Rhapsody.

maybe that's because he didn't complete the piece tho. Leslie Howard said that Liszt nearly completed the piece, but the ending is not fully written-out :D
@@prammar1951 Yes, the stunning thematic combination at 15:20 is particularly treacherous, and the technical horrors of 16:40 have never (as of today) been played live accurately. I'd say this is one of the hardest Liszt works ever, on par with Lucrezia Borgia in terms of difficulty.
Well, first we would have to define "musical value", but if we are talking about historical and cultural value, then that's definitely not true. A lot of Spanish folk-music is involved here.

it gets even more insane at 12:03 XD
Why did this pop in my recommendations? why am I not complaining and listening to this over and over? Because it's f****** awesome.
😎
The Fugato part is out of this world, so beautiful.
I adore Liszt. I’ve worked on the Contrabandista fantasy a few years back but never programmed it
me too :D wish you could try to complete the project of that crazy bravura piece 😁
4:09 reminds me alot of Mereaux's Bolero!
Also freaking Liszt was on fire when he wrote this!

@@youtubecommenter2 You are right
Alkan level.
plot twist: Liszt played this with only one hand
Plot plot twist, it was an chopin piece 💀
13:22 Spanish Rhapsody.
yup that's the theme

Nice work Liszthesis!!!
thank you for the help tooooooo :D

nice
