When I started learning the piano 10 years ago, I believed I'd never be able to play this piece. Now, after much practising, I can confirm that is correct.
Erik C 'Piano Man' of course it‘s Hamelin. I always stumble upon these amazing recordings and can‘t comprehend how he can have such a huge and difficult repertoire :O
MrBromaba he’s only a genius having super high sight reading skills and a perfect control of the hands. he could play everything you want with mirrored motion of hands. he is like a left-handed: the skills of the left are slightly better than the skills of the right hand.
Oh finally someone made this video, I have looked for it like 1000 times. And it´s even with Hamelin´s recording, which is by far the best... Thank you very much!
My gosh, he adds notes that aren’t in the score. Aren’t there enough already? This is my favorite recording by far of this wonderful transcription. Thank you!
I didn't even look at who the pianist was when I began listening to it and after about a minute, I whispered to myself "of course this HAS to be Hamelin" LOL
The Tom and Jerry one was a different arrangement--by Jacob Gimpel,I think. This transcription was made famous by Josef Lhevinne;Hamelin does a great job here,this sort of piece really suits him.😊😊🎹🎶
Not really though. Many romantic composers used key signatures such as g flat major or f sharp major (or their relative minors) Take a look at things like liszts Hungarian rhapsody #2. The friska section is all written in f sharp major. Or Chopins butterfly and black key etudes are both in g flat major. Among many others like parts of liszts b minor sonata or Chopin nocturne in f sharp major.
@@Andrew.Helmick he said MORE than 6 sharps/flats though, and he is right- pieces with 7 sharps (C-Sharp major/A-Sharp minor) or 7 flats (C-flat major/A-Flat minor) are very rare.
Для меня это лучшая запись! Я фанат Амлена! Но после Иосифа Левина, его записи 1927 и 1928 года Даже Амлен сидит и слушает... А последний октавный пассаж просто физически невозможно так исполнить... Мне кажется любые поиски любителей феноменальной техники, заведомо бессмысленны, зная, что, если бы это записал Левин, она была бы всегда лучше, безупречней и недосягаемой. А уж те записи, какие есть, ну это бриллианты исполнительства. Хорошо, что есть такие титаны как Амлен, Володось, и многие другие фантастические пианисты, азиатские пианисты конечно, а также малоизвестные фанатики исполнения невероятно сложных сочинений в наше время, чтобы хоть как-то наслаждаться совершенством пианистического мастерства, в отсутствие записей Иосифа Левина, которых не так много..:( 1927 год Сначала эту послушайте, особенно последний пассаж обратите внимание. Абсолютная безупречность исполнения th-cam.com/video/v7mTOnvg0p0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FL0KH3q2ev9GB9l6 1928 год а потом эту с нотами th-cam.com/video/8fnzGtmSmRM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZNs10VW4Iqiyy9M-
I wonder how Marc André can learn always new repertoire, have concerts and compose... And after all this, doing all of them very very good. How, where and when????
OMG! That ... was ... ... ... incredible. I think ti surpasses J. Lhevinne as my favorite. Astounding! A pianist's pianist! Thank you for posting this, though the performer's name deserves inclusion in the title of your post!
My first hearing of this was the Ampico piano roll version recorded by Josef Lhevinne - that was fabulous, but Hamelin here is just superb, and it's a more musical interpretation.
@@AnatoArchives It could be an unpublished recording (not the first time someone post unpublished recordings). Or could even not be MAH, but someone else recording (also not the first time, as this is not MAH official channel). This recording completely lacks the liveliness of a live recording beyond any doubt. It's easy to recognize this if you have been to a decent amount of concerts. Also no clapping at the end. This is really suspicious as usually the audience explode at the end of pieces like this. And on top you NEVER hear not even once the audience during 11 minutes of recording and have 0 background noise. This cant be a live recording, definetly a studio rec.
@@thePsykomanteum There is no complete recording of the piece arranged by Jakop Gimpel but if you compare the sections that are the same, the arpegios are a bit longer and faster if thats what you mean.

You got me on this one
Your comment had me in stitches. Thanks for brightening up my day!
I laughed hella hard hahahha
There is nothing impossible. Just give it a try and see how things go. After all, music is all about enjoying what you’re playing.
You made me laugh so hard.
I can’t imagine a cleaner/transparent recording of this piece. Wonderful playing as always.

Check out Dora Deliyska's recording of it. It's now the standard against which all others can be judged.
@@dalezalewski7759 Doesn't really float my boat, but worth a listen - also worth a look for the, er, distinctive piano she plays :-)
@@dalezalewski7759 Well, I don’t know about that, really, but I love her dress.
I adore this piece. I absolutely love the first 6 or so pages. Marc Andre Hamelin plays them so lightly, with such clarity.
Hamelin touch is truly something else.
I remember trying to learn this piece. Took me 12 days... to find all my fingers again.
Oh finally someone made this video, I have looked for it like 1000 times. And it´s even with Hamelin´s recording, which is by far the best... Thank you very much!
Glad you liked it! I'm hoping to put up more rare sheet music gems like this in the near future. :)

Beautiful, a hidden gem
Finally! I heard this on Tom and Jerry.
1:43 - I came for this piece because of ... *Tiffany Poon* .
Me too
Same
Yes! In the wonderful cartoon Johann Maus.
The Tom and Jerry one was a different arrangement--by Jacob Gimpel,I think.
This transcription was made famous by Josef Lhevinne;Hamelin does a great job here,this sort of piece really suits him.😊😊🎹🎶
This is one of those extremely rare pieces that actually has a section that has more than 6 sharps or flats in the key signature. Almost unheard of!

@@lukeehrkepiano5061 oh! Thank you! I didn't see that originally
@@Andrew.Helmick Haha no problem!
You remind me of Liszt’s S. 140 No. 3
I like it! Thanks for sharing.
10:37 personally one of my fav parts
beautiful arrangement so lifeful charming dynamic energetic

True
Josef Lhevinne is the best of this
I heard it in Johann Mouse - Tom and Jerry when maestro Strauss II playing it.
Same.
Not exactly.
Not the same
Best pianist ever walking this planet. Basta!
I wonder how Marc André can learn always new repertoire, have concerts and compose... And after all this, doing all of them very very good.
How, where and when????
He's just one of those ultra-rare geniuses that are born every 300-400 years... He's like the Einstein of the piano.
ppl like him literally sight read through these pieces
This is actually comparable to Lhevinne's recording (which is on TH-cam now) - and you can't often say that !

Buena variacin de Strauss 🌹🇮🇷🖐️
Fn insane
Based
I’d like to know who in the hell disliked this wonderful beautiful music piece
1:18 when you get to the final lap on Mario kart
Crazy difficult piece.
Silly me thought this was just called "The Blue Danube". Tried so hard to find it, but my efforts were paid off.
Cool introduction
OMG！
7:35 guaranteed ad for you!
3:34
your here too huh
@@yeetthebeet yeah
idk if ive already asked you, kinda unrelated but whats the most exciting or beautiful piano piece you've heard this year?
This part is actually really easy for some reason
hu good
Honestly, this recording is not live by any mean. No audience, not a single wrong note. Clearly a studio recording
Where is it?

@@erwinschulhoff4464I see u asking this everywhere lol
wdym easy
hard to believe it's only two hands. And live! Wtf.
This sounds like a piece for 4 hands
My right hand is getting tired just watching this.
can anyone help me find a musical site that contains transcriptions like this one? cheers
You could try Maurice Hinson's book on piano transcriptions, not sure about a website though
8:08
i wonder the composer who arranged this strauss
Schulz-Evler
1:45
10:06
MGM Cartoon Pokemon 1939 Blue danube Vaporeon cats
Q : could you make this MORE FANCY?
A : NO.
Jakop Gimpels sounds better imho
@@couponcam yes, Ms. expert, but is it fancier?
@@thePsykomanteum There is no complete recording of the piece arranged by Jakop Gimpel but if you compare the sections that are the same, the arpegios are a bit longer and faster if thats what you mean.
@@couponcam it is. that and virtuosic flourishes that decorate whats written.
What's going on at 3:00? Sounds like the MIDI didn't get edited properly :(
He added a countermelody to the pick up notes, on the repeat. The kind of thing 19th century pianists did all the time.
Great recording, but I have no idea what he was doing at 10:50
Bro the triplets are so fast that they're basically just chords 💀
Que fea se escucha esta versión
6:33 is unbelievable gently number 🤌🏻
7:18
