Franz Liszt - Csárdás macabre S. 224 (audio + sheet music)

- Liszt penned three works with csárdás in the title, which demonstrate his capacity for writing virtuosic works during his old age - particularly the Csárdás macabre. A csárdás - a Hungarian dance that usually contains a slow, free introduction (lassan or lassu) followed by a rapid, wilder type of dance (friss or friska) - is similar to a Hungarian rhapsody.
Liszt composed the first of these, the Csárdás macabre (S 224), during 1881 and 1882. Its innovative nature includes use of repeated open fifths and the percussive effects associated with Bartokian and Stravinskyesque primitivism. Liszt himself wrote on his copy of the score: "May one write or listen to such a thing?" The introduction based in the lower register of the keyboard sets out the major rhythmic and melodic motive of the work. This particular rhythm repeats ten times through the first forty measures of the work. A clever single-note transition theme appears between mm. 41 and 48 and returns at comparable moments within the work. The first part of the main section begins with bare open perfect fifths in both hands that lasts for thirty measures.
Measure 88 begins a dance fragment based to some degree on the single-line theme from the introduction. A new theme appears at m. 133 that Liszt varies later in the work. At m. 162 Liszt quotes a well-known folk-song "Ég a kunyhó, ropog a nád" and plays with this idea until the single-note introduction theme leads into a treble staccato theme in m. 229.
A new and more virtuosic variation on the folk-song theme closes out the first half of the work. These themes repeat in exact order, presenting the folk song down a minor third from the original statement. The dance concludes with a rather extensive coda based principally on the a and b motives and confirms that Liszt had not lost his flair for extroverted and virtuosic works.

There are two versions, one also starts in fifths. Love this piece very much, should be more well known.
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way to Heaven. We've all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins like lying, lusting, etc. Repent and trust only in Jesus, and you will be saved! You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free.

Yes, John Ogdon made a brilliant recording of it I have it on cassette tape from the early 1970's. And it's the one that the Liszt Society originaly published.

My gosh, it felt like a Cziffra performance.
Kocsis is no slouch!!
Not to me. This was much more elegant.
@@gojewla That's of course your opinion. I am not sure whether this piece was intended to be "elegant" as it has a much more primitive and natural sound, so if that is true it might actually seem to suggest that he didn't bring out the true spirit of the piece which I think everyone would agree is not the case. I think a good point was made that they sound similar. I guess they came from the same school of thought when it came to the piano 😁 I highly respect their contribution to the piano performance catalogue of performances.
@@jackcurley1591He also said Cziffra is the best Liszt performer overall! 🙏🏼
written because death metal wasn't a thing in 1882

@@christianweatherbroadcasting what kind of a weirdo prolesytizes off one TH-cam comment from five years ago? GTFO with that garbage, please.
Wild piece - definitely anticipating the cubism of Bartok. Thanks for uploading it!
Harmony teacher: "you can't do parallel fifths"
Liszt: "ok bro"
Браво блестяще исполнил
"Aki dudás akar lenni
pokolra kell annak menni
ott kell annak megtanulni hogyan kell a dudát fújni.
Három a tánc mindhalálig
Kivilágos kivirradtik
Kicsiny nékem ez a ház,
Berúgom az oldalát." (Magyar népdal)
Kocsis has the best recording it is amazing
Ogden's 1970's recording of the other version is brighter and clearer.
Hungarian rhapsody no 20
I thought he wrote "only" 19 ?
BOI. I wrote 19, not TWENTY.
Sounds like an other hungarian rhapsody...
@@classicalmusic5646 he said it because it sounds like another hungarian rhapsody, read the description
He really wrote 41 hungarian rhapsodies
Who's playing? It's not a secondary news.
I make an educated guess: steel hands, steel rhythme, steel sound, (by the way not my best choice but fabulous the whole)... Zoltan Kocsis?
And that's what the title card at the beginning of the video is for. >:/
I swear: I did not see the performer's name, Thanks anyway.
when I clicked the original audio link, "Video not found.", what the heck.
+Infinity ßounds (Matthew) Oh, thank God, it's just a URL error, nothing more. But I fixed the link now, thank you for telling me. :)
No prob. :)
It sounds like if Danny Elfman composed a Paper Mario boss theme, and I love it.
Poor Liszt only finished the 704 bars of introduction, but then never got around to writing down the actual piece.
The question is: Is it worth Beethoven writing it instead, with 704 bars of various endings?

Liszt killed a lot of kittens composing this
I'm sorry if I'm slow but who is the performer on this? I haven't heard a good romp on this piece since the Ogdon recording I owned as a teenager. I used to have the Kalmus edition of this in a collection called Liszt the Late Works and it started on this version bar 49. So very interesting.
The beginning of the video tells you who the performer is.
Zoltan Kocsis. He was a very good player but he was also horrible in person. A very cocky individual.
That's the exact version I played of it starting from there to the end when I played this back in 1996 at the end of a late Liszt group that started with Unstern, then the Vier Kleine Klavierstuck, La Lugubre Gondola 1 & 2 and then closed with this
Listen to brendel.
Can someone make a power metal cover of this pleeeeeeeease?
I detected some traces of Hungarian Rhapsody #18 throughout. Also sounds a bit like 'This is Halloween' from Nightmare before Christmas. I wonder if they got the idea from this piece for that song?
3:18 I heard glass breaking.
Liszt Ferenc:Csárdás macabre
Kocsis Zoltán-zongora
Listz plays this in his house and he breaks his ceiling and his walls.
And he breaks his piano.
yes
what happens when the part goes into 4 staves? surely those parts are not possible to play by one person . but then i hear applause at the end. someone really performed those sections live with only two hands? 0_0
nezkeys79 yes, you play both as you see them. its opened up to 4 staffs to save space. your just reading whatever comes next. either somethimes it might only be 3 staffs. you see stuff like this usually when playing organ and their are foot pedels involved. but Liszt says. "Whatever"! i can play piano 4 hands all by myself.
If you are talking about 2:25 onwards the additional two staves are called the 'ossia' (alternative) staff. You may choose to play either 2 of the 4 staves. Kocsis plays top two.
@@itsjustnopinionok I'm not sure you're right. Maybe you're wrong. Read the comment below yours....
(Keyword: Ossia)
Similar to Bartok!
Maybe... :)
agreed. it really sounds more like Bartok than Liszt.
+Tim Ward no
Well, they are both Hungarian! :)
If anything, it is the other way around! Bartók got his sound world from Liszt!
good

who is the pianist?
Kocsis zoltan check him out he is amazing
this piece is in 4/2 and should have 4x less measures.
Wrong
@@themobiusfunctionyou can't just say I'm wrong on everything. You don't even recognize this as 2/4.
@@Whatismusic123 yes i do
@@Whatismusic123 I say that you're wrong on everything because you *are* wrong on most things including this
This would make a great Metallica song
Horrible playing... great technique but sounds like broken car at the grinder, grinding metal....
You ridiculously failed at conjuring up a comprehensible analogy. When you make such hard judgments on world-class pianists, you should have the intellectual capacity to criticise him in a way that makes partial sense to a certain extent. At least you tried...
I think it's supposed to sound that way. this piece is ferocious and utterly remorseless in it's intensity.
Kris9kris you are right! He is one of the great hungarian pianists, we will never forget him!
There's something unbearable in it.

damn this is awful
What a terrible piece. Even worse than Orage and that's saying something. At least I had fun playing Orage, can't see myself enjoying this at all.
Don't worry, I -- I mean we -- understand. :)
thank you for uploading it though...certainly was interesting.
You're most definitely welcome. :)
Really?
It's definitely an acquired taste but it's better that 90% of the pieces he wrote before the 1850s.
I think the greatness of this piece comes from from the overall form, harmony and motivic development. For the form, everything has a purpose and is carefully laid out, the tonality is way ahead of its time and it sounds fantastic (outside of this recording that sounds like a chainsaw) for how complex it is. The motivic development is awesome i think, how he takes a theme of just some fifths and makes an entire ass 7 minute piece out of it. This piece is one of his most underappreciated works i think, but that's just my opinion.
