…Every time I return to the Valse-fantasie, either to perform it or for no reason at all, new ideas come into my mind and I can't help myself from making new corrections. Of all my transcriptions, this one I have probably the most since I first completed it in 2005.
I remember the premiere. I had to perform it in Moscow just one week after I wrote it; the piece was very hard, and it was quite tough to be on time. We were celebrating the anniversary of Glinka, the Father of Russian Music, and a great-great-granddaughter of Glinka attended the concert. I clearly remember her eyes full of questions when she approached me after playing. What did you do with the music of my great-great-grand-dad? - she asked, hardly keeping herself from slapping me.
Definitely, this was the kind of transcription that went very far from the original and this noble lady had every right to declare that it was "not Glinka.” It really wasn't, I apologize. But this orchestral masterpiece (I had the orchestral version as the reference) inspired me so much. I didn't expect that it would go so far. I was working on my arrangement for the first half of the Valse with the original score, but after some time I noticed that I was not looking at the score anymore and just let my intuition fly.
The transcription received a lot of feedback, both very positive and very negative. I myself at times didn't feel right about the result, which is probably why I have been making corrections continuously for years. I couldn't identify the reason why I had ventured so far from the original and it disturbed me. Usually, I know what and why I am going to say with my arrangement. I even refrained from performing this piece myself, thinking it was not my best work or one of which I could be proud.
My (I think I can say "my") Valse-fantasie mixed quite a few styles and traditions, beginning with pure classical, up through the romanticism of Liszt and a taste of Strauss, and with a little spice from Ravel and perhaps even Prokofiev. Yes, there are fragments in my arrangement that directly refer to the styles of all these composers.
Finally, one day I understood myself: the whole piece appeared in my mind as a history of the Waltz, the history of its development. And some sort of harmonic or textual citation here and there was added to let the listener or performer see the major works in this genre through the small hints given. Beginning with Glinka himself as the first creator of the symphonic Waltz, we journey through a bit of Strauss, taste some Liszt's Mephisto Waltz in the middle section, then La Valse by Ravel, and end with very dramatic, nervous, and gigantic streams of the 20th-century Russian composers.
At long last, I found myself at peace and my heart satisfied with the answer. I began to play it again myself and I very much hope that my own comprehension of the concepts helps me to create a convincing interpretation of this very tricky piece.
But I didn't stop doing corrections though ;)

THIS IS POWERFUL!!! LIKE A STORM! Gryaznov, you're a real wizard! Incredible!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Liszt and Rachmaninoff would have been proud to have written this!
I'm fairly sure the DNA of Lizst and Rachmaninov was spliced together to make this
But M.Glinka might not. Taking out essence of this piece. Call it Paraphrase on Valse-Fantasy. Good pianist distorted original
+esfir ross isn't that the point of it being called a "paraphrase"? Expressing the original idea while in the composer's own way as well as adding their own colors, I see no problem with this fantastic piece of music whatsoever. Calling it being "distorted" sounds quite ridiculous to me.
esfir ross I feel Gryaznov gave it essence that it was formerly lacking.
Michael C. Hahah yes I agree
Блестящая интерпретация и исполнение, БРАВО!!!!❤️👏❤️
Уверена, Глинка бы Вами гордился!
Благодарю Вас!🥰👏👏👏
I am completely enchanted by these 8 minutes and 45 seconds. I have no words to describe this feeling. This piece is the embodiment of human expression. I can die happily now that I've found this piece.
Mehra Ahsan so u didn’t fancy it much then?
@@alexsly9198 He meant "the embodiment of human expression, excluding that of Alex Sly" of course.
One of my fav arrangements by Gryaznov. What a beast. :)
You could be playing this in a livestream ;)
Italian polka is cool
Wow I was not expecting to see a comment from you here! You’re one of my favorite composers on TH-cam :)
Здравствуйте Слава, ваше имя назвал в интервью Николай Арнольдович Петров. Рада и за вас и слышащих вас людей. Эта музыка наслаждение 🙏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow how can people feel the need to dislike this performance? Pure vandalism.......probably one of the most complete piano pieces to date......and written over 100 yrs ago........amazing.......
Never mind them. They are probably sick...
He's still a genius. To transcribe something which would result in this masterpiece is hard work. Granted, composing may be harder, but transcribing also takes skill. This is a piece of art, and it is very very very enjoyable.
2024 January. Brilliant, truly brilliant. 🌷🌷🌷 Bravo ! (The Netherlands)
Браво!!! Великолепная транскрипция, замечательное исполнение!!!
Мы с моей одноклассницей играли этот вальс как ансамбль, очень красиво!
Fantastic transcription and perfect interpretation by the God send pianist Gryaznov. Limitless technique in service of the music.
This is absolutely incredible. As a piano and composition student right now, I think it's really amazing how you developed such a fantastic piece reflecting back to styles of the past. It is a breath of fresh air compared to the avant-garde stuff I am regularly exposed to. Rachmaninoff, Liszt, and Ravel are my favorite composers (Glinka is also up there on my list), and it was really neat to see their styles blended in such a creative manner. The virtuosity was great but did not detract from the beauty of the piece. I hope to learn this soon!
The ending makes me crying every time I listen to this.
Dude, I've listened this for years. It's awesome. One of my most beloved musics, congrats to you and M. Glinka!
it still is
Yutube is an interesting place through which you can see how talanted a person can be. I am absolutely shocked by the young genius.
Lai Edward it's "youtube"😊
And some less talented at spelling.
There is a whole world and many other languages outside USA/English you know. It could be his 2nd or even 3rd or 4th language. No need to be a dick.
🙂 👍
BRAVO! I was absolutely blown away by that. 4 a.m. unable to sleep and I see a piece by Glinka pop up. "Glinka," I think, "I vaguely remember a piece by him in some random compilation of Romantic sheet music I have somewhere... worth a try." WOW! Not only was that, I think, the most functional Romantic waltz I've ever heard (in a very, very good way) but it was also an ridiculously excellent performance! Many thanks for recording this and putting it on here for a me to find :)
That penultimate chord is unbelievable.
This is magnificent playing of a wonderful arrangement!
Genius, yes...I keep coming back to this, but can you imagine the earth shattering satisfaction of having it under your fingers?
Like the first light of dawn, this music opens your eyes to new promises and to all the wonders of
nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, this piece pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken the loves, the skinned lives and torpor of the sleeping watchmen
Go through so many years, this is still my favorite arrangement, just like a real symphony on piano...awsome.
This is becoming a daily listen for me! Such a fun masterpiece to listen to. Some of my favorite parts: 2:37, 6:22, and the thunderous chromatism at 7:18. Such incredible talent to arrange this (and of course to play it).
Thunderous chromaticism is exactly how I would describe that moment. One of the most emotionally charged moments in the piece and I love it!
@@ErikCPianoman well hello there Erik! I love your Channel!
Какое счастье слушать твою обработку! А помню тебя на физкультуре и в коридорах нашей Alma Mater.
To best honest , I cannot believe how beautiful this piece..
Это совершенно потрясающее, новое произведение искусства. Чувствуеться русская душа, промелькают листовские и рахманиновские приемы. Вячеслав я под большим впечатлением от Вашего творчества!!! Браво Маэстро!!!
I was going to plug away at learning it, but reading that YOU think it's hard. . . what chance do any of us have?? BRILLIANT!!! Love this so much!!!
Truly one of the best pieces I’ve heard
This is so beautiful, you made the piece so much more interesting than the original. It is now my most favourite Valse. I've been listening to this piece over and over. Amazing job!
Spent the last 15 years of my life listening to Piano pieces from different music eras, this piece is at the pinnacle, what a masterpiece!
this man is INCREDIBLE
Грандиозно! Огромное спасибо за изумительную транскрипцию и превосходное исполнение!
Удивительная транскрпиция! Теперь только так. Браво!
Читаю ноты, не могу представить, как этот шедевр можно воплотить на рояле. Удивительная музыка. Пианист просто гений!
So musical. Thank you for posting this
Love 💕 this! I can listen all day long!
Absolutely amazing arrangement and the playing is marvelous!
Hello!
@@juanmaschoclan :(
Wow. A surprising, arresting piece of music! I can hear Tchaikovsky in this, and Liszt, and Chopin, and Shostakovich and Ravel, and even Satie-but I suspect it's really all unadulterated Glinka. Not just a showpiece, this is actually a serious piece of music; I didn't think the waltz form could be taken to place so non-trivial. There are melodic surprises, harmonic jaw-droppers, well-timed shifts of mood, and tunes in the inner and lower voices. And the performance sparkles. Till now I've known zero about Glinka but now I want to learn.

I could not agree more with your comments ,Mark. And yes, a scintillating performance. I think we are both astounded at what musical gems there are out there, often hidden away . One of the rich wonders of the musical world...
Thank you, Matthew. You caused me to listen to it all over again after two years, and I'm delighted and thrilled all over again. What an amazing, unusual, vibrant composition. I need to go in search of more Glinka, a composer largely ignored in my musical education. M.V.
This is another version.This is V.Gryaznov's work. Glinka's original valse fantasie is another one.Of course the theme part is the same,but Gryaznov has made his version,harder and as we see,something really amazing! I thought this was Glinka too,but than i tried to print the score online and than i understood it.
I don't hear any of the composers aforementioned; all I hear is Gryaznov.
Marc Vincenti, this is strange that you have not heard about Glinka. his is quite a famous composer. then check vid "top 30 Russian composers". maybe you will find something new for you
Потрясающе👏👏👏
Браво блестяще сыграл транскрипция чудесная просто оболденная я в восторге
I listened to this throughout me entire piano performance degree.. and would show this to my friends as if I have found an absolute goldmine with thousands of priceless gems. I almost even tackled this piece my junior year (I got really intimidated and moved to another piece LOL)
I think this recording is a standard of performance that every performer should aim for. The technique really leaves me breathless! Even the beginning with these huge RH chords and how you seamlessly make the melody smooth and beautiful... WOW! I hope one day (after much reading) I can actually tackle this piece.
If you could ever give a young pianist any advice, what would it be? I don't care to be famous or rich as a pianist/performer/composer. Being able to perform at such capacity like this would be endless riches for me. I just don't know how you did it!
cockadoodle doo
Man your arrangements are absolutely beyond
This arrangement is actually amazing. Bravo!
Fantastic! In variation after variation Glinka shows us exactly how NOT to write a functional walz. One can only truly learn with this piece!
Переслушал десять раз. Это шедевр русского романтизма, это жемчужина аранжировки. Чувствуется Рахманинов, Скрябин и, конечно, Глинка. Просто дух захватывает!!!
Мне напомнило даже пассакалью Годовского
@@gigogrom216 Си-минорная, позднеромантическая, нарастающая и обрастающая сочными аккордами с микрохроматическими мелодическими линиями... точно!
Amazing piece, amazingly played. This is what I call the highest level of playing the piano.
Thank you for have introduced me to this jewel.
2.43 is just stunning I can't stop listening. So thoughtful and magical.
너무 좋다... 수많은 감정이 날 쏘고 가는 것 같다 여러 감정과 여러 빛이 폭포수처럼 내리는 것같다
1:26
Indeed, very beautiful
Wonderful !!!!👍👍👍👍
Вячеслав, я не преувеличу, если скажу, что Вы - Рахманинов 21-го века. Брависсимо!
Absolutely gorgeous, I could listen this piece forever. Happy Birthday Maestro Glinka!
Who knew one piece could have so many styles in one, I absolutely love your arrangement and performance!
I just keep listening to this piece over and over again, it is absolutely astonishing and beautiful. It makes me feel so many emotions and this is by far my favorite video of it being played, perfection is all I hear in this piece and its magnificent!!! I can't even put my feeling of this piece into full words ;-; I can't wait to go and play this myself
God I love this so much. Gryaznov, thank you!
Thank you for your great arrangement. After listening to this , I immediately ordered the score. I’m looking forward to practicing this beautiful piece. I guess It will take years for me to master this valse but I will try. Thank you again.
Astoundingly brilliant arrangement and performance here! Thank you very much Mr. Gryaznov!
After 2 measures instantly hit the subscribe button. Not usually a waltz fan but good God that was AWESOME!!!
0:32-0:38 My God that transition is SUPERB
OH MY GOD..... BRAVO
absolutely, the most fantastic piano transcription I have ever heard.
This is truly an astonishing and gorgeous transcription/arrangement by Gryaznov.
Gryaznov is god❤
😂 No no, I'm very much just a human. Glad you like this work.
This is just HUGE
Phenomenal playing. Am truly flabbergasted. Thank you so much for posting. Following the sheet music while listening makes one understand the marvellous musical and technical qualities of this extraordinary musician.
A marvelous piece. A moment in a blissful fantasy.
very impressive. it is best arrangement i've ever heard
Ikr
The absolute degree of talent displayed and the potrayal of intense emotions in such a beautiful artwork...absolutely genius my brother, a blessed man indeed
Ой, какая удачная транскрипция! Какой молодец!
Absolutely phenomenal composition! Such power, passion and depth of feeling!
I don't even think I have a favourite section in this piece, it's all so beautiful.
You are total genius ❤!
My heavens!! What a lot of work!! Gorgeous transcription- ,more beautiful by far than the original!!
Jim Mayhew I wouldn't call it more beautiful. I happen to love the original and this takes it too far afield for my taste, but that's just my opinion, having just listened to it.
Jim Mayhew Yup. Far better than the original!
Absolute Masterpiece. Bravo!
A stunning transcription, up there with the very best, giving Pletnev a run for his money. And playing to match, in the grand Russian tradition. If I were to be allowed one tiny criticism it is that it seems to be a bit too relentlessly overpowering. But one could say that about many virtuoso transcriptions. The closing chord is very daring indeed.
Потрясающе!
Наткнулся случайно и не пожалел!
На мой взгляд, отлично передали всю палитру оркестрового звучания через фортепиано!
Боюсь представить, сколько времени и труда вложено в эту работу)
Спасибо, Вам!)
Успехов и новых открытий!)
Неделя :)
@@VyacheslavGryaznovPianoПлюс все годы до...😂
Beautiful playing and clean touch. Fantastic pianist!
I am currently doing a composition project for this and chose this to arrange for a concert band and I am obsessed. I found the orchestral version and wow, you took this to new heights. Seems like I notice something intriguing each time I play it. Such a vehement style that has you on the edge of your seat. Bravo
Un pianiste exceptionnel!! Très grande virtuosité...
Yes, sir. A genius!
mixed with Liszt style and Rachmaninoff style.... I die for this.....
Brings tears in my eyes, every damn time... Amazing!
Вячеслав, это просто восхитительно! Давненько я не слышал такого насыщенного звука... Уж не Steinway ли это? Игра... превыше всяких похвал... Мне до такого ещё много лет идти... 5/5
Stunning
nice. Will you be using this for work?
brilliant transcription !!!
Thanks for bringing this into this world :)
6:23 Liszt is taking control
Да, Лист отдыхает!)))
@@user-pc8fy6je4p, не корректное выражение. Лист создал свой стиль, Шопен, Рахманинов также . Грязнов,во первых, использовал тему Глинки, во вторых, применял стили выше перечилсенных композиторов. Поэтому, утверждать, что они отдыхают не корректно, Грязнов использовал их труды.
I absolutely love this!
This is truly beautiful!
Úžasný virtuoz!!! A MUZIKANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful transcription, and so smoothly and elegantly performed!
what a perfect master piece!
OMG!!!! I am in love with this
That coda is so metal 😍
still listening to this years after finding. you did such a wonderful job :)❤️
2:40 I heard the jazzy Kapustin influence and I thought my ears were tripping, because there was no way Glinka wrote that. Of course, it was your wonderful addition, Mr. Gryaznov :)
ГЕНИАЛЬНО 👌
I really like this arrangement!!
Thanks for posting
I have just discovered the power of Glinka.
This man was amazing!
