      @47Mortuus 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      That is completely trivial and comes naturally with any difficult piece.
      But even then, if you know it by heart, there's still a _loooong_ phase of still having to focus on the technique, difficult parts etc. Most hobbyists get stuck in this phase.

    1. This is absolutely my favorite classical performance by any artist on any instrument
    2. Her hands were moving so fast in the middle that it almost seemed like a big joke, not intentional. A nearly psychotic level of playing.
    3. What’s more daunting is that Liszt actually intentionally wrote this. He dreamed to extract from the piano as much as humanly possible. Will anyone ever extract more?

    As a pianist I agree with you. Amazing technique. What people don't always realize is that to accomplish these pieces at such high technical and mature emotionally, first both sides of the brain is being used simultaneously. Second, to achieve the dexterity in the fingers takes years and thousands if not tens of thousands of hours practicing over and over, increasing the mm a notch each day so that your fingers glide effortlessly across the keys. Thirdly, also takes the ability to change emotions as to convey the story you are weaving on the piano. There was s so much more than most people realize. Amazing performance.

      Thanks - that sometimes we feel too alone when there are no affinity buddies in sight. I am not a musician, but anyway was impressed by what I was calling 'the harmony of execution'. Your «both sides of the brain» helped me in having a more precise idea. But, again, I'll stick to 'harmony' since for me it is more a question of feeling the harmony of sound than feeling emotions, though I know that it is all connected. Could be because I got polarized by the difference in interpretations, where the world-known ones, with great technical skills, miss completely the 'harmonic feeling'. Among them the very known LL, that to me seems just an extremely fast piano typist.

    The long pause at 5:03 really nails it. I had watched so many other players doing this rhapsody and none of them made any sense; all sounded like schizophrenic incoherent performances. Now Valentian's pause finally made sense of the whole thing. There is a transition of mood that all other players didn't capture.

      She is very good with not tensing up. Thats what allows her to play at such speeds. You can even see it in her biceps, they rapidly flex and relax instead of just staying flexed most of the time. She is optimizing her energy very well to be able to play at this speed.
      Shoulders relaxed, hands relaxed. You can get much faster explosive speed that way compared to being tense all the time.

She has the basic skills. The execution is insulting to Liszt in more than a few places. If you look at the G. Schirmer copy of the sheet music, there are only a few ad-lib notions and they are spaced out quite apart to make it clear. The way she plays it, little of the original would be left. This is the worst revisionism I've heard since I was a child watching the ignorant public licking up the musical schmaltzy/glitzy destruction of classical music by Liberace.

      truered lucky yup. Both Franz Liszt (piano) and Niccoló Paganini (violin) were considered the world’s first “superstars” in the modern sense of the word, mainly because of the effect they’ve had on their audiences.
      There was a phenomenon called “Lisztomania” where women would attend Liszt’s live concerts and faint and squeal with delight and excitement, and apparently no one at the time really knew why.

    I personally think 9:10 is extremely impressive. I've heard a lot of pianists try to play this (including myself) and either make it too slow, or too mushy. Valentina plays it incredibly clear and hastily while still retaining quality and the composers intention for it to be played. She is a remarkable pianist no matter what any critic says.

My sister and I dancing like ballerinas in the backround. It blows my mind that as soon as i heard the first 2 notes of this song, i stopped breathing. I couldn’t believe my ears. Instantly began to cry as soon as i realized it was the SONG! I instantly sent it to my sister saying “ I FOUND IT”!
