      @@samothchipmah2407 I hear what you mean, and I think it is a little fast around the edges, but I don't think this is speedmania tho... It's played quickly enough that the music dances with the energy that it's supposed to, like the style of music that it's trying to emulate. If you do a sweep of the few other live excerpts of people playing this piece, most of them are _too_ slow by comparison. And then there are plenty of musical elements to this interpretation that make it more dimensional than someone who's just trying to play it "fast." And while I also usually don't equate speed with quality, this is the only take I've heard that's "quick" enough to sound like a serious, polished performance. In this context, the speed turns it from a Liszt nerd dream piece that a few people have sight read, to an actual piece with a mature interpreter.
      Whether Liszt would agree with the interpretation is up for debate, but being deeply acquainted with Spanish music myself, I think this interpretation is on the right track. And I think he'd be impressed that somebody played this entire piece, and came up with a smart, cohesive interpretation for doing so.
      I do think there's room for someone to come behind this with a more thoughtful performance that still has the firey energy of the Spanish music, but is more colorful and expressive. But as this is the only interpretation of this piece I'm aware of right now, I think it's a good start.

    I think another element that people are not pointing out is that the pianos from the mid 19th century generally had a lighter key action. Meaning, it is significantly harder to play this piece on modern heavy action pianos than it was when this piece was written. This is one of the reasons why Liszt pieces from the 1840s are notoriously difficult compared to the “definitive” editions that he prepared later on.

      That is very true! I think the pianos at the time underwent a change from 1850 onwards; they were lighter before that time and I think the width between the keys were also smaller, allowing more people to hit 10ths and greater lengths.
      This might explain why Liszt removed many of the wider-spaced intervals when he re-did all his etudes by 1851. The originals were unfriendly to the newer pianos, which would've made it unfair for pianists wanting to learn these pieces.
      And today's much heavier pianos are definitely much more incompatible to the early 1830s / 1840s pieces of Liszt; it would be very difficult to play them on today's modern heavier pianos.

    The most mind-blowing thing is not the accuracy nor the speed but the unreal musicality: it's a monstrously difficult piece still the pianist (and I would dare to call him the artist) manages to retain a lot of musical sense, giving the work a fluid and aethereal quality.

    Ok fellow pianists, music lovers, haters, everybody, please stop. First of all, this is an absolute masterpiece, a legendary performance for the ages, with such exquisite musicality and mastery that it is out of this world. On one hand, this is the reason why so many YT trolls keep repeating "ThIS is NoT REal", because it is indeed unbelievable. But IT IS REAL. Any real pianist, who has dedicated years to the instrument, can tell immediately by ear that this is someone (a genius) playing without any artificial speedup.
    Furthermore, there is a video of the pianist playing this piece, which is clearly not sped up (look at the arms, the sleeves etc). Finally, I know who the pianist is, and in which competition he played; I want to respect his decision to stay anonymous so I won't further play the trolls' game and reveal his identity. I just want to say that it takes max 10 minutes to find out, if one really wants to, but maybe kids nowadays, spoon-fed with information since ever, have never even learned the skill of searching for something themselves

I was amused that his first knuckles were often collapsed, double-jointed, which seemed to help in getting a fuller contact with the key, yet without impeding movement.

    I believe the reason why there are not many performances of this masterpiece is because, as we all know, it is one of the most difficult pieces composed by Franz Liszt. It appears that many pianists are hesitant to perform it, especially in a live setting, due to the immense technical skill and understanding of musical elements required. I am certain that it would be a challenge for any pianist. I am extremely grateful to Ladivinafanatic for recording it with such high quality. I hope that more people will become familiar with this beautiful piece.

      Yes, it is completely unbelievable because it is a fake. It has been sped up. The original uploader won't reveal himself because it's a fake...the speed was artificially increased which is why he disabled comments on his original upload. Ask yourself a question: If this were real, why is he hiding in the shadows and not making a career for himself? One word-FRAUD.

      @@supasayajinsongoku4464 Maybe Franz Liszt's transcriptions of the beethoven symphonies. I knew about them before but I never got very seriously into listening to them until this year.
