Sergei Lyapunov - 12 Transcendental Etudes Op. 11 (LYAPUNOV'S 156TH BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE)

- SIDE COMMENT: "417 pictures, around 3 days to make, more than 30 minutes to publish, took up more than 1 gig of disk space, 4 hours to upload, made it on time for the party, and I still got the performer's surname wrong; it should be Scherbakov. WHYYYYY? XD"
Lyapunov is largely remembered for his Douze études d'exécution transcendente. This set completed the cycle of the 24 major and minor keys that Franz Liszt had started with his own Transcendental Études but had left unfinished. Not only was Lyapunov's set of études as a whole dedicated to the memory of Franz Liszt, but the final étude was specifically titled Élégie en memoire de Franz Liszt.

merci, andré, for the list.
For a second I forgot François was a translation of Franz
thx
i think no 3 is inspired by liszt transcendental etude no 11
Bravissimo.Grazie.
Lyapunov est devenu en quelques minutes l'un de mes compositeurs favoris. Grâce à ces études. C'est une merveille, non seulement transcendante dans sa complexité technique, mais c'est un chef-d'œuvre de musicalité. Merci beaucoup de nous transmettre la musique de ce merveilleux compositeur oublié 🪽
Awesome. Lyapunov is such an underrated composer
Steef
, as many other Russian composers. check video "top 30 Russian composers".
That's the bitter truth! 🤔
リャプノフはラフマニノフやスクリャービンのような天才として私の心に刻まれた。
He is.
The berceuse is a jewel. What a gorgeous way to start the set.
Yes, jewel is the right word. Given enough time, I can do this-- I have put it on my list.
no 4 reminds me of liszt transcendental etude no 10 too. i think its inspired from that
Love the homages to Liszt's etudes. For example:
No. 3: Harmonies du Soir 7:13
No 6: Wilde Jagd (Just the beginning) and Transcendental Etude No. 10 (Also brings to mind Orage from Annees de Pelerinage) 24:55
No. 9: Chasse-Neige 42:47
No.11: Feux Follets 56:20
Certainly not a coincidence.
+Echoherb Thanks, I hadn't spotted a couple of those! Personally I see No 6 as a reference to Liszt Transcendental Etude No. 10. 25:50 onwards is particularly similar.
And of course Lyapunov No. 10 is very similar to Islamey.
No. 12 is reminiscent of the first Hungarian rhapsody
@Matthew Reid Oh yeah it is, thanks for pointing that out.
Am I right in thinking no.7 seems to be a reference to Chopin's scherzo no. 2 ? Chopin's theme is clear at the very end but hinted to throughout.
Wow. Very insightful observation-- I had to check the score to see the connection you made. You might very well be right, but it doesn't sound to me like an actual direct reference... more like a very happy coincidence. But you have a very sensitive ear-- well done.
A magical performance by Scherbakov. This is enchanting music. Thanks so much.
Great upload, thanks!! That's one I can cross from my list of to-do videos ;)
Thank you. Sorry if I beat you to it first, though.
thenameisgsarci
No problem, I'm happy you put all this effort in making this video!
Never heard of this man - these are gorgeous! Coming in straight from John Field Nocturnes, TH-cam is amazing. Thanks for posting!
I first heard a pianist perform #10, "Lesghinka", when I was about 12. He introduced the piece with a story of finding the sheet music in the back stacks of the conservatory, and deciding to learn this unknown piece to put one over on his teacher who was mostly blind but somehow knew the entire repertoire off by heart and would critique his poor student without mercy. He described the corners of the pages crumbling in his hand as he photocopied the music. Surely his teacher wouldn't know THIS piece. Surely.
(He did. The teacher couldn't have been more delighted, and tore the student's performance to shreds.)
I fell in love with this music that evening, as not only did the humorous futility of the pianist's experience as a student capture my imagination, but the middle section at 51:20 captured my heart forever. I went on to learn it myself at University, and I consider it one of my musical high points.
Liszt composed his etudes in all the FLAT keys. Lyapunov, dedicated his own Etudes to the memory of Liszt, had composed his etudes in all the SHARP keys. :-)
Yes, they are not just a tribute.
@@TempodiPianoin fact they are a completion of Liszt’s goal to write Transcendental Etudes in all 24 keys, though obviously not with a complete mimicry of Liszt’s style.
A Treasure !!! Everybody who loves great piano music should listen to this ! THX !
Another of the forgotten great composers. The pianists should review their repertoires and include them.
Too difficult, though I agree!
I guess money is the overruling factor here. If more money were to be made on the concert circuit with these wonderful but obscure composers, they would soon rise to the top of the bill. But audiences are not too discerning and concerned to do more than settle for the familiar.
@@davestrickland8378 Only partly true. There probably is a big audience for unknown composers and hard or drastic music but there is the pervasive influence of competitions, agents etc. that keeps things a bit more tame. Just consider the interest there would be for things like the busoni piano concerto or a complete rendering of the Godowsky Chopin etc etc. There is a huge audience not dissimilar to the technical guitar audience in metal music. I think it might indeed change actually.
@@crly4770 Good food for thought.
The best set of Lyapunov's Etudes, which are the second set of Liszt, in the remaining key signatures. A real Himalaya of the piano. Scherbakov has iron fists, velvet gloves, surgical precision, narrative, the whole picture. Excellent, sonorous and highly detailed recording to match. A classic!
Underrated melody at 38:59. I really feel the incessant energy of the Chopin Ab polonaise octaves and the drive of the Stretta (quasi presto) section of the Liszt Sonata before the Prestissimo octave finale. Really gives you that 'kick' any time of the day!
Thanks for loading this here. If it took you three and a half days just to get this put together, imagine how long it took Lyapunov to write the pieces, and Scherbakov to learn and record all of them -- I'm sure they'd both appreciate your effort!
toujours un echo du Folklore Religieux Russe exceptionnel (Etude No3 Carillon + thème du Dies Irae...) pour le Piano , juste un Cadeau du Ciel ...🙏
Wow! This is beautiful and gorgeously played!. Thank you so much 🎉
Wow, this is an incredible set of pieces.
Beautiful! Reminds me of Chopin & Godowski. Thank you for uploading these treasures!
You're welcome, yeah. :)
What a hidden gem. Played in such light beauty! Thank you so much. 🎉

Почему Ляпунова мало кто знает?
Beautiful pieces. He too has the gift of harmonic genius
I love this so much. Thank you so much for posting this impressive master-work.
Wow! First time I’ve heard them all together. In fact, this is the first time I’ve heard them all. I’d only heard a few - mostly the first and third ones. Beautiful writing! It takes a facile technique to render these as intended.
I can see why these etudes are not often played, they are ferociously difficult! Godowsky Difficult! Some of them are extremely beautiful and creative. I'm sure Rachmaninoff took note of them and may have even tried to play some of them.
The last variation from his op 22 really sounds like lyapunov. I am 99% sure he was inspired
Il y a tout, clartés limpidité,
Sérénité, sincère
Godowsky isnt that difficult. Bach is more difficult than him.
@@TorAndreKongelf- I strongly disagree.
Brilliant and gorgeous! Amazing to behold in Nos 4-7, too, the debt Lyapunov owed to Rakhmaninov and Scryabin. BRAVO!

This feels so much a Scriabin set, And it sounds amazingly beautiful!
In some ways, but I think it is more "Russian"
I just came across these gems now. Thank you for your labor of love!
4:45 I hear parts of the Dante Sonata here, the dream-like sections
7:14 Carillons is inspired by Harmonies du Soir. Deep, resonating sounds of the bass register
10:20 is reminiscent of Liszt's B minor sonata (grandiose theme)
13:24 Térek is clearly a reference to Liszt's Appasionata etude no. 10, listen to the similar breathless appoggiaturas.
And in 15:27, 16:30, 25:50 you can hear the similar broken chord pattern in the left hand to Appasionata.
34:22 the harplike arpeggios are similar to the Spanish Rhapsody opening
35:45 onwards is very similar to Totentanz.
42:50 similar tremolo & trill technique of Chasse-Neige etude no. 12
49:09 Lesghinka is eerily similar to Balakirev's Islamey. A highly virtuosic piece that Liszt performed in his recitals!
56:20 Rondo des Sylphes sounds directly inspired by Feux Follets etude no. 5
1:00:25 surely an homage to his Hungarian Rhapsodies
Meu Deus! Quantos compositores fantásticos que em geral são pouco divulgados! Muito lindas as composições!
Conheci esse compositor há pouco tempo e gostei muito.
I can't get over how cool the part at 5:16 sounds.
Fantastisch,supergenial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Musik von Sergei Ljapunov und Interpretation von Konstantin Scherbakov!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo,BRAVO,BRAVISSIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I adore Berceuse. What a beautiful music...
Little known masterpieces that need to be heard more often.
holy shit thankyou, now i love it when i can see the score as well
Thank you so much. ^_^
Lovely. I've never heard of Lyapunov.
Ce Carillon, c'est quelque chose... Mieux que beaucoup des douze de Liszt.
Thanks for this excellent upload! Like other commenters, I had never heard of Lyapunov before this, but from the sounds of this, he certainly warrants further investigation. Lovely music and fantastic piano writing!
Glad I got your interests. You're welcome. :)
Same here.
Check out Six Simple Pieces, Op. 59.
Berceuse is as beautiful as utopia. I'm practicing it everyday.
the first pieces is best one in 12th
Man, that last etude! Seriously, I can't remember a single note after doing that in one listening. Favourites are Nos. 2, 7 - 10, 12. Been meaning to listen to this in its entirety for a while, finally had the chance!! Thanks for uploading, a real gem.
Glad you enjoyed watching it. It has become a personal favorite for me as well. :)
very cool, the key of each movement travels down in thrids; F#, D, B, G, E, C, A, and back to F# again. neat
So often these sorts of works by middle-rank (though good) composers end up being a disappointment. This set really is fantastic though. Thanks for the upload.

Thank you for this! I used to have a recording of these etudes but it was lost when I recently moved. It's great to hear them again!
Замечательное исполнение ❤
Композитор чудесный ❤
Second time listening and following. In #4 I think he quotes Balakirev's "Islamay" theme. Lovely. From #5, this has to be on a Bosendorfer for those low notes! #8 could be a descant to the "Dies Irae" theme.
*Islamey
@@nghiavan8952 Спасибо.
52:43 - a reference to the chromatic theme from Liszt’s Dante Sonata?
Yea
Thank you mate, for upload such beautiful unknown composers
No problemo. 😁
@@thenameisgsarci "Niet probliém", Liapunov should say in Russian...
I'm particularly fond of #3. Something about the sound of Russian music based on their church bells makes me happy, be it Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, or Lyapunov
Bravo! Thank you for posting this.
*tips fedora and bows*
1:00:23 -- Im astonished at how "Lisztian" this actually is. What an underrated set.
That introduction sounds like his first hungarian rhapsody
@@dacoconutnut9503 and a bit like the theme of his A major concerto :)
These are curious pieces that are imbued with tonal colour and resounding timbres, but above all possessed of Liszt's aesthetics. They are just delightful salon pieces which I really enjoy. Thank you for all of your work uploading these pieces.

リャプノフは、ロシア五人組の首領バラキレフの弟子です。ロシア民謡とリストの超絶技巧練習曲が融合してます。とても素敵です。
Absolutely outstanding performance! Particularly that brillant soundbalance as well as the precise use of the pedals despite the diabolic difficulties of multisystemic polyphony amazes me!
At least you got to the Party on time
tout simplement magnifique !!!!
mind-boggling!
I enjoyed this video. Good job.
Absolutely incredible usage of the dies irae in Carillon (7:13)
i didnt even notice it through the transposition and reharmonisation damn
Thanks a bunch!
The 6th Etude is pretty one of the best etudes in the whole musical piano repertoire
This is beyond wonderful, hard labor of love, not for the views and the likes but to spread the good music to the world. Bless you my friend, Bless you!
Thank you very much for the kind words; I truly appreciate it. Please enjoy your stay here, and stay tuned for more. ;D
que de modulations spectaculaires dans la Sixième !
Another great video for study or just listening. Thanks! By the way, I think the swipe/fades help, because you can still be looking at the last measure of a page while the next one is coming up, helping you to find it more quickly and keep the flow/continuity consistent. I'm planning on using the technique in my own score videos now that I've seen how it works.
All of a sudden I wanted to share Lyapounov’s “Storm”, a single recording that has always been the top search result upon the query “Lyapunov”, and... and... now it is your video (with time markers) that I am going to share in order to acquaint people with Lyapounov’s heritage. Thank you for your... foresight, although, it is the happiness with tears on eyes, like the happiness of the people who cried “We won!” in 1945.
Thank you very much for your kind words, but, to quote John Connor, "the battle has just begun."
Wonderful! Thank you
No problem, sir. :)
No 2: 4:07
No 5: 17:30
No 6: 24:55
Supreme.
Russian Liszt is definitely a fitting name for Lyapunov, maybe Liszt should be called Hungarian Lyapunov, though the former is definitely a better name since Liszt was almost 2 generations older
Carillon (IMO) has to be one of the most beautiful piano pieces I've ever heard 😍
All of these etudes can be related with a liszt piece for example 56:20 is a recreation of feux follets and the opening bars in 1:00:23 is very similar with Hungarian Rhapsody no 1 and G minor Vision etude
Awesome composer, never really knew about him; thank you for bringing this to my/our attention. (Btw, how come almost all the well-known composers are male as in not female...kind of like the well-known architects...why all male...just wondering, but an interesting fact nonetheless).
1) No problem. :)
2) I guess, it's the stigma regarding female composers...
Welcome back, my beloved set! :)
These Etudes are modeled after the Liszt Transcendental Etudes and if one listens carefully they can be matched to each one of the Liszt. These pieces should be standard repertoire because I think they are Equal to the Liszt ones.
Thanks for uploading!
The set are a magnificent hommage to Liszt. You can say they are Lisztian in their style and manner but without the genius, that cannot be reproduced.
In my opinion, I prefer this work to Liszt's. Thanks for your hard working.
Andrei Anghel What part of "opinion" don't you understand?
Umm, he just gave his own opinion, so i'd say he understands the concept just fine.
I don't understand how you can possibly prefer this OVER LISZT'S. But I respect your opinion...?
Good on you........? Well, it was my opinion that a mix of marmite and margerine wasn't a crime against humanity ( or rather his stomach.) so sorry world.
why must everything be compared. Why is it not possible to accept the fact that they are both great composers
I remember playing Carillon in a master class at the Royal College of Music in 1979 with Peter Element and The Berceuse at a recital in the Northampton Guild Hall a year later.
12 etude is the most great lyapunov piece ive ever heard
the lyrical parts of each etudes uses slavic folk and modes !
Thank you so much, i need this
No problem. :)
tender and deep
No. 3 almost has a Debussy vibe at times. Brilliant.
yes
Beatiful the first to the last
Thanks for this great upload and all your hard work ! I consider this set one of the supreme pinnacles of Russian piano literature (maybe even of all piano literature). With all respect to Scherbakov I don't think he does them quite right, his playing being rather brittle and matter-of-fact, lacking depth and opulence. But there aren't all that many good complete recordings of this obscenely difficult set, so we should complain too much.
I'm intrigued about these yellow markers on the timeline which seem to mark the individual pieces, rather than ads as suggested by all postings I could find on Google. How did you create these please ?
1) First of all, I'm glad to hear you liked it.
2) I dunno how those yellow markers came up, but I definitely think it's Google's doing.
Ideal set to be selected from Kentner, Scherbakov and Noack. It's great that in the last few decades a couple of really amazing records were released to compliment Kentner's pioneering versions. Maltempo recorded too but there is very little to select over the 3 above.
Am going to record and post a few, the evocative quality of the music (central Asia, Russia, the Middle East collide) is something else. These are masterworks.
ショパンとリストが見え隠れして懐かしいような曲集ですね。リャプノフは前奏曲の方が好きですが、この曲集も弾いてみたいと思います。
できればロシヤ語かフランス語か日本語で紹介して頂けると有難いのですが。英語は一寸困ります。
Very interesting and masterfully played. No.10 - Lesghinka 49:09 reminds me strongly of Balakirev's Islamey! Who was first?
Lyapunov was a pupil of Balakirev.
wow I can't believe an etude is where the left hand smashes a bunch of romantic chords while the right hand tries to play a thousand notes all over the place like a butterfly flying all over the place
12 IS SO AWESOME!
Really lovely the second and the first
No. 3 Russian Revolutionary is a G sharp minor version of the Chopin Op.10 Nr.12
Lezghinka is the famous Caucasian folkloric dance. Charming, beautiful, authentic!
who's the pianist? fine recording!
Studio n. 3 - starting at 13.24 - is somehow similar to Chopin op. 10 n. 12 (14-ish; 15.14-15.30 exc.) There are few Chopin-inspired semiquaver patterns
As good as Liszt's (though Liszt wrote much that was far better, unlike Lyapunov). Lyapunov's brother was a great mathematician, famous for his analysis of the stability of equilibria.
