@@moritzeggert95 the right can play the "unplayable" notes at some places. but still, for a non-professional pianist I think leaving out the repeating motive of the 8ths going up and down is unavoidable. Covering everything that is going on with it sill sounding "nice" is my main priority in these videos, some end up unplayable as a result :)
@@martinspiano7081 hmmm...the stretches are too wide, and that makes it not only difficult but literally unplayable for even the best pianists of the world. Look at for example bar 65 (visible as the video still). You demand a non-arpeggiated decime in the right hand which most people can't play (especially women, who often have smaller hands). But that is not the problem: On the 4th eight note you demand a duodecime c-G in the left hand that even Horowitz in the best of his times couldn't reach with his huge hands (only with a pause before and some time). But here it happens in an ostinato! And intervals like ths constantly pop up in the left hand, in a very fast tempo. As the music has non legato (no pedal) character the right hand has to stay on the keys and is not much help. How could I play the g in the right hand if I have to hold the decime at the same time? There would be ways to make the left hand playable, but it needs a lot of intricate pianistic work and many changes (mostly leaving away stuff, but keeping the momentum). I suggest you sit down at the piano and try for yourself, even in much slower tempo I would be very astonished if you could play the left hand alone. Bar 70 and 71 are another example - the second interval in the right hand is unplayable, but the left hand could theoretically play the A. But then it would have to hold the A which is again absolutely impossible because of the wide stretches.
A challenge set and met! I love MfM and it’s great to hear them played naturally.
Worth subscribing for! 🙂
what a beautiful thing.
WOW, thanks!!! really great
If anybody wants the sheet music or midi just contact me via youtubechannelll@web.de
As written it is unplayable for one pianist (left hand), but would work well for 2 pianos or piano 4 hands.

@@martinspiano7081 And again: piano 4-hands this piece would be really cool and would work very well!
Nevertheless I think what you do is interesting for people who want to study this kind of music in a different way, so kudos to you!
