@@gentlemancroc3767 my favorite band wrote a song so hard they almost couldn’t play it in studio let alone live, then Polyphia has a song so hard that they can barely play it
@Tranhoang Long The S.140 version is the unrevised version of La Campanella, although it's much more harder than this, it's entirely possible just not on tempo.
I keep thinking, is it something he wrote to prove people wrong? Like, "you can't continuously make those jumps for minutes" or "a perfect trill over more than x seconds is impossible". Then he dumped it onto a poor soul to make it true.
It's frustrating to learn for that exact reason because it's actually playable at first. The muscle memory kicks in pretty quick. Then there's that point depending on your skill level where it's just a wall. It'll take years realistically to gain the skills to even learn it let alone play it well. For me at least. I'll stick to playing the first 1/3 in slightly different ways until the fun wears off.
when you are able to play comfortably a piece while also recording, you can usually play it again while recording as well as forever as long as you practice it from time to time so you don't forget it and/or lose the muscle memory
It’s like guitar is harder to begin to learn but rlly easy to master but piano is easy to learn but hard to master, or at least it’s like that for me lol
i feel like there’s nothing more mind blowing than being half decent at something (like piano) and then watching a true master perform an unbelievable piece like this. Bravo

I actually saw my 12 year old friend just casually playing this at home when I went to meet him and I never talked about my piano experience ever again
@@readerofareader It became a contest of who of parents in the world gets their kid the most strict lessons and regimes to make a playing robot out of a 12 year old... And afterwards it's called talent, after such an overtrained kid is playing all the different classical pieces and études, at oversped up tempos, forwards and backwards, and in all 12 keys in a row, while clearly being tired of such pressure, squeezed like a lemon, but also "putting to shame and tears of disappointment in themselves" is what many people, whilst actually passionate about music, experience from that. That makes them depressed, and they are so let down by their own skills, that they quit trying... That is kind of sad to me, and it doesn't seem to me as if great techniques and memory full of all the known pieces is worth much in musical sense, if it all doesn't result in expression and something new, some actual greatness, and not just a potential demonstration of speed. I rarely see "toddler prodigies" doing all that more than play fast and precise. Perhaps only some...
@@apracity7672 Seems that you don't quite understand what music is about. In my opinion, it's not about overstressing children to play at 320 tempo. Many are jealous, of course, but living under loads of stress doesn't seem really great either.
4:05 - 4:09 imo is the most beautiful and entrancing part of the entire composition, it is played to perfection to the point where you can hear the first three chords resonate at the perfect volume. Idk if anyone will see this comment but from the first time I heard it I will continue to be amazed. This is the truest form of musical beauty
Not flawless, he's putting too much arm tension and strain on the fingers, notice his Bell Pinkie finger, it should be idle, not active. he's not rotating his arm to hit the bell, he's moving his hand and pinkie to hit the bell, there is a large difference in that technique.
There was a lot of strain, but that’s probably because there’s so many jumps. I played this piece and found the end really difficult because of all the built up tension in my 4th and 5th (particularly from those trills)
@Jannis Glueck okay?? But still it’s still a hard piece I’m not sayin it’s the hardest pieces, plus You don’t need to give me a lecture just say like sum like “it’s not “that” hard” or whatever-
I've always loved this piece, but being able to see it played in full view like this absolutely blew me away and gave me a whole new appreciation for the piece.
I wouldn't call myself a pianist but I enjoy playing the piano, and as someone who enjoys playing the piano I agree. Although the piece I am currently focusing on is "Nuvole Bianche". First time I heard it was in a random playlist that came on while I was gaming and I stopped what I was doing and really took it in. I wanted to play it right that moment but as someone who still can't really read sheet music I listened and played what I heard. It's not that I can't read sheet music I just am very slow at reading that it doesn't even matter.
You'll get there. Piano teachers usually will tell you not to overcompensate when playing, and you'll be surprised over time your fingers don't need to move a lot to play fluidly. Oh and, scales and arpeggios are good practice. Placing a coin on the middle of your hand while playing can help too if you're having trouble keeping your hands from swaying too much (and if you're a masochist).
Literally the first part is played without even using a single finger, i just rotate my arm and my pinkie lands on that D# note, then rotate so my thumb hits the next note, rince and repeat across the 3 octaves.
Mozart, Beethoven, liszt and you are my idols I want to be a singer and pianist, but I haven't started with the piano yet. You are my inspiration Sorry if it's not written well, but I don't speak fluent English yet.
there is a video where a guy plays it on a school talent show. and you can feel the audiences breath is taken away and has never heard anything like this
Interesting as I did this very piece very well at an audition on bgt and they said that I need to play something more intense and hard and I raged my ass off
4:25 the most favourite piano techniques that really highlight the virtuoso playing of a pianist I love seeing, the legendary powerful and fast contrary chromatic scales in octaves (⬅️↖️↗️➡️🎵🎹👍😄👏)
everyone talks about how La Campanella is so difficult, and it is, I just wanted to say that this is truly one of the most beautiful pieces every written, Lizst did a wonderful job making it a piano piece
@@ultracat7788 that's why I said "making it a piano piece" if you listen to La Campanella played on the violin you'll notice subtle differences, Liszt adapted it to the piano and made it work for the instrument. I adore both versions though
@@1fneeqf so many people have said what you just commented that it's becoming boring to read those types of comments, come up with a more creative way to ask someone to be more creative
@@1fneeqf it doesnt matter if it was meant to be funny or not, it's still a copied comment and that makes it boring. You should understand since you said being unoriginal is being boring.
Do you not find it difficult and get apprehensive that you'll make a mistake in a piece like this and have to start from the beginning again, over and over if you keep making mistakes, especially at the end of this piece, those left hand octave jumps are bloody difficult, I've heard a few recordings by concert pianists who don't get this part note perfect. You seem to have not made one single mistake in the whole of the recording! And it took you a week to learn and perfect this piece from scratch?
Ahh thank you so much for your comment, Mark! I may have spent four hours straight recording trying to get this take... even still there are many errors, including a few I only noticed after the video was uploaded! I did spend more than a week learning it though, quite a few actually haha, although I would've liked to have spent a few more months just getting all of the small details perfected.
Rousseau it's really refreshing to see someone actually reply to people I want to add, so thank you for your time. I can understand it could take that long to get it right yeah lol, it's a pain in the ass recording, especially a tricky piece like this, most of the time you can play perfectly but once you know you're being recorded the atmosphere changes lol, at least that's my experience with recording - Aiming for perfection, I really don't believe there are many recordings where the pianist does not make some mistake along the way. We are human not robots! I hope to see you do feux follets at some point anyway! In my opinion it's a real challenge that one! Thank you.
it would be wonderful to see an uncut video of the process of recording the 'perfect take' on any one of your songs, the persistence that's required to perfect something like this must be extraordinary and it would be purely fascinating to see the frustration and persistence in it's fullest. I will happily keep coming back to listen to your wonderful executions of some of the most mind boggling pieces and a massive congratulations on 100k :) Keep it up!
I just listened to 4 different people play this and I like yours the most. You play with your soul and bring out the length in each note and I absolutely LOVE it!
Thank you Daniel, looking forward to your 4 hours of La Campanella intro... wait... if you edit out all of the E's from your Fur Elise video it's already done!! Congratulations for surpassing the 100k milestone as well :)
What I love best about Liszt is that his music is difficult and yet so magical to listen to. There are some composers who have insanely difficult songs, but they sound like a cat running over the keyboard. It is true brilliance to not only create something so complex and yet enjoyable to hear.
@@galaxywonders7819 Try listening to Alkan. He's like Liszt. Now you might say his pieces are difficult and sound like garbage, but not all of them. I recommend listening to Le Preux or Le Chemin De Fer, which are really good and as epic as La Campanella.
What's most interesting is once you break the song from its tempo, it's actually a rather simple composition. The tempo is what gives it the perceived complexity. And I think that's what makes this such a stunning masterpiece - Liszt really said: I'm going to take the simplest composition and flourish it up to impossibility level.
In their time, both Liszt and Paganini were accused of having sold their souls to the devil to acquire their virtuosity. It's no wonder with a piece like this.

4:13 i didn't think it could get anymore beautiful and this person just plays it so flawlessly
Not flawless, he's putting too much arm tension and strain on the fingers, notice his Bell Pinkie finger, it should be idle, not active. he's not rotating his arm to hit the bell, he's moving his hand and pinkie to hit the bell, there is a large difference in that technique.
@@perfectstormx3107 bro
@@perfectstormx3107 as a PhD in music theory he played that perfectly
There was a lot of strain, but that’s probably because there’s so many jumps. I played this piece and found the end really difficult because of all the built up tension in my 4th and 5th (particularly from those trills)

Right hand is easier for me but ok
I've always loved this piece, but being able to see it played in full view like this absolutely blew me away and gave me a whole new appreciation for the piece.
as a pianist, thinking about trying to learn this piece makes me feel both intense physical and emotional pain
I wouldn't call myself a pianist but I enjoy playing the piano, and as someone who enjoys playing the piano I agree. Although the piece I am currently focusing on is "Nuvole Bianche". First time I heard it was in a random playlist that came on while I was gaming and I stopped what I was doing and really took it in. I wanted to play it right that moment but as someone who still can't really read sheet music I listened and played what I heard. It's not that I can't read sheet music I just am very slow at reading that it doesn't even matter.
well narancia, what about physical pain?

As a beginner pianist I'll never understand how you masters have both stiff ass fingers, and yet they're still fluid.
You'll get there. Piano teachers usually will tell you not to overcompensate when playing, and you'll be surprised over time your fingers don't need to move a lot to play fluidly.
Oh and, scales and arpeggios are good practice. Placing a coin on the middle of your hand while playing can help too if you're having trouble keeping your hands from swaying too much (and if you're a masochist).
Try to play el contrabandista, the easiest piece ever made by me.
let me introduce you to the world of big ass hands
Literally the first part is played without even using a single finger, i just rotate my arm and my pinkie lands on that D# note, then rotate so my thumb hits the next note, rince and repeat across the 3 octaves.
It's finger strength not stiffness. These people have played for years and the more you practice the stronger your fingers will become.

Do you not find it difficult and get apprehensive that you'll make a mistake in a piece like this and have to start from the beginning again, over and over if you keep making mistakes, especially at the end of this piece, those left hand octave jumps are bloody difficult, I've heard a few recordings by concert pianists who don't get this part note perfect. You seem to have not made one single mistake in the whole of the recording! And it took you a week to learn and perfect this piece from scratch?
Ahh thank you so much for your comment, Mark! I may have spent four hours straight recording trying to get this take... even still there are many errors, including a few I only noticed after the video was uploaded! I did spend more than a week learning it though, quite a few actually haha, although I would've liked to have spent a few more months just getting all of the small details perfected.
Rousseau it's really refreshing to see someone actually reply to people I want to add, so thank you for your time. I can understand it could take that long to get it right yeah lol, it's a pain in the ass recording, especially a tricky piece like this, most of the time you can play perfectly but once you know you're being recorded the atmosphere changes lol, at least that's my experience with recording - Aiming for perfection, I really don't believe there are many recordings where the pianist does not make some mistake along the way. We are human not robots! I hope to see you do feux follets at some point anyway! In my opinion it's a real challenge that one! Thank you.
why content id is referenced to Yoshihiro KONDO?
Mark Fowler What about asians?! 😂😅 just kidding. When I try to record myself, I mess everything up. Not only when I play the piano.😂😂
it would be wonderful to see an uncut video of the process of recording the 'perfect take' on any one of your songs, the persistence that's required to perfect something like this must be extraordinary and it would be purely fascinating to see the frustration and persistence in it's fullest. I will happily keep coming back to listen to your wonderful executions of some of the most mind boggling pieces and a massive congratulations on 100k :) Keep it up!

What I love best about Liszt is that his music is difficult and yet so magical to listen to. There are some composers who have insanely difficult songs, but they sound like a cat running over the keyboard. It is true brilliance to not only create something so complex and yet enjoyable to hear.
True. I've heard a lot of difficult pieces but they are boring to listen to. Lizst is both amazing and enjoyable for listeners, the complete package.
@@galaxywonders7819 Try listening to Alkan. He's like Liszt. Now you might say his pieces are difficult and sound like garbage, but not all of them. I recommend listening to Le Preux or Le Chemin De Fer, which are really good and as epic as La Campanella.
@@therealransu ty
What's most interesting is once you break the song from its tempo, it's actually a rather simple composition. The tempo is what gives it the perceived complexity. And I think that's what makes this such a stunning masterpiece - Liszt really said: I'm going to take the simplest composition and flourish it up to impossibility level.
Wow, thats an amazing take!
