The most popular of the series and, along with the third Waltz, most praised musically, the Der Tanz in der Dorfschenke: Erster Mephisto-Walzer ("The Dance in the Village Inn: First Mephisto-Waltz"), or the First Mephisto Waltz, is the second of two short works he wrote for orchestra under the title Zwei Episoden aus Lenaus Faust. While the work preceding it, Midnight Procession (Der nächtliche Zug), is rarely given (though both works have been recorded together), the waltz has been a concert favorite, with its passion, sensuality and dramatics generating an emotional impact. James Huneker described the work's "langourous syncopated melody" as "one of the most voluptuous episodes outside of the Tristan score".
The first Mephisto Waltz is a typical example of program music, taking for its program an episode from Nikolaus Lenau's 1836 verse drama Faust [de] (not from Goethe's Faust). The following program note, which Liszt took from Lenau, appears in the printed score:
There is a wedding feast in progress in the village inn, with music, dancing, carousing. Mephistopheles and Faust pass by, and Mephistopheles induces Faust to enter and take part in the festivities. Mephistopheles snatches the fiddle from the hands of a lethargic fiddler and draws from it indescribably seductive and intoxicating strains. The amorous Faust whirls about with a full-blooded village beauty in a wild dance; they waltz in mad abandon out of the room, into the open, away into the woods. The sounds of the fiddle grow softer and softer, and the nightingale warbles his love-laden song.
Liszt intended to publish the Waltz simultaneously with the Night Procession: "...The publication of the two Lenau's Faust episodes... I entrust to Schuberth's own judgement; as to whether the piano version or the score appears first, makes no difference to me; the only important thing is that both pieces should appear simultaneously, the Night Procession as No.1 and the Mephisto Waltz as No.2. There is naturally no thematic relationship between the two pieces; but they are related nonetheless by all the contrasts of emotions. A Mephisto of this kind may only arise from such a poodle!..." Liszt's request was not fulfilled and the two episodes were published separately.
The waltz was conceived as both an orchestra and a piano work. Three versions, orchestral (S.110/2), piano duet (S.599/2) and piano solo, (S.514), all date more or less from the same period (1859-62). The piano duet version is a straightforward transcription of the orchestral version, while the solo piano version is an independent composition. Liszt dedicated the piece to Karl Tausig, his favourite pupil. A further two piano version, published by Schuberth in 1885, was arranged by Dr. Fritz Stade and later revised by Isidor Philipp.
The orchestral version also has an alternate, softer ending which, while not as rousing as the usual coda, some critics argue is closer to the intent of Lenau's tale. While this ending is not often heard in the concert hall, both Fritz Reiner and James Conlon have recorded it. Liszt also provided two extra passages for the piano solo version. It is not known when Liszt wrote these extra passages, but it was a habit of his later years to make alterations while teaching his works to his pupils.

After rewatching the video on my pc I think the "fire" parts don't look as I planned. The fire seems too dynamic and too bright.
Sorry for failing the visualizations again.
Don't ever say sorry, your content is great! By the way, I see nothing wrong with the fire
No, it is not how you intendent it to be but you didn't fail it, the fire looks good, don't say sorry. You're content may be good and you may not even know it. Good job keep it up!
absolute BANGER upload!!!
I like how the 8:25 section gets quite tense as hell, epic as always lol
Didn't know this recording but it's very cool! nice effects :)
What a treat! Also going to use this opportunity to make a wish for Scriabin's Op. 12 #2 in Bb Minor 👀
YES! EXCELLENT PIECE!
Request: Rach Sonata 2! Kocsis, Lugansky and Ashkenazy are my fav interpreters of it would be really sick to see it on here :)
Lovely! A personal favourite of mine.
Could you please do the Bach-Busoni Chaconne in D minor by Kissin? Would make me very happy, and I'm sure those who dont know the piece yet would love it as well :D
I love that piece!
Love this piece!
Epic!!!
I, have been thinking recently: SHOULD I GRIND AN INTIRE MONTH TO LEARN THIS, YES OR NOT?!?!?!?!?!
YES! If so, good luck!
this'll probably take me a minimum of three years 😭
Do it!
The question should be "YES OR CERTAINLY YES!?!?!?!?!?"
SIMMMMMMMMM
hello again BeMusical! I was talking to ClassikalBoi yesterday, and I resquested him if he could make Chopin's Sonata No. 1 in C minor; he told me he couldn't due to the syncronization of the notes, but he did tell me perhaps you could do it. So, here I am lol, I would really be thankful if you could do that piece; personally, I love that sonata, and there are no videos of synthesia with real sound of it on the internet, so you'll probably get many views for it. Just to help you at least a bit, I especially recommend the recording of Leif Ove Andsnes of it, I, at least, couldn't find a better one. Thank you!
Im slowly making Chopin sonatas and I wanna make his all 3 sonatas. So be hyped👀
@@BeMusical. OH YES! Thank you, man, and good work!

The notes are still quite visible in this, but I think I'd suggest maybe having some sort of background where the notes would seem distinct. That or or some kind of more distinct outlines on the notes. A video in which I especially liked the distinctness of the notes is your video of Scriabin's 9th sonata. Great video otherwise!
yeeey 1k subs
congratulations
Could you do Scriabin Piano Sonata 2 by Yunchan Lim
