    I like the randomly incoming commercial breaks asking me about how to earn a shitload of money or how to treat my intestinal problems, all at full volume. That's exactly what I want to hear while listening to beethoven.
    Thanks TH-cam. Appreciate it!

    When Liszt began work transcribing the ninth symphony, he expressed that "after a great deal of experimentation in various directions, I was unable to deny the utter impossibility of even a partially satisfactory and effective arrangement of the 4th movement. I hope you will not take it amiss if I dispense with this and regard my arrangements of the Beethoven symphonies as complete at the end of the 3rd movement of the Ninth." (He had in fact completed a transcription of the Ninth Symphony for two pianos in 1850.) Nevertheless, he made another attempt after an expressive letter from Breitkopf & Härtel, and expressed "the range achieved by the pianoforte in recent years as a result of progress both in playing technique and in terms of mechanical improvements enables more and better things to be achieved than was previously possible. Through the immense development of its harmonic power the piano is trying increasingly to adopt all orchestral compositions. In the compass of its seven octaves it is able, with only a few exceptions, to reproduce all the characteristics, all the combination, all the forms of the deepest and most profound works of music. It was with this intention that I embark on the work which I now present to the world.

    One can immediately sense the incredible reverence Liszt held for Beethoven by observing that, for the greatest part of this reduction, it's a very faithful transcription of Beethoven's original. Liszt stepped back and let Beethoven take center stage with this transcription, and in doing so made the very greatest of greatest transcriptions.
    I'm a composer who is also a pianist. When we prepare transcriptions like this -- or, when we're attempting to complete compositions which were left unfinished by the original composer at the time of their death, we have to step back away from ourselves, take our egos completely out of the picture, and make ourselves servants of the composer. "Not my will, but Thine."

    I do not claim to have the most musical ear or talent, but for me, I think reducing the Beethoven Symphonies to a single instrument makes it easier for me to follow the motion and intent of the musical ideas without the distracting complexity of a multitude of instruments and timbres. Of course, one must trust one's transcribing reductionist to properly select what to leave in, and what to leave out. After listening many times to both the orchestral and piano arrangements of all of the Greatest Nine, I implicitly trust Franz Liszt's judgement. Everything musically important to the 'absolute music' root of the compositions has been preserved.

The first version was unplayable even for Liszt who told Klindworth to simplify it. This is the version that's in the Schirmer scores but you can still find the first version in old scores.

Even worse are the Strauss operas like Elektra/Rosenkavalier. Each opera is 2 1/2-6 hours long. Take the Beethoven and stretch it out, with way more tricky filler stuff and harmonies. Opera pianists do this for a living, 3-6 hours a day, six days a week when in rehearsal. Playing reductions is an art and specific skill set few people know about.
