“I knew he was spending a lot of time at the piano but i was doubtful he would get that far with an app”
I agree
LAMAOAOAO
Haha
I know everybody makes fun of apps but honestly they do work. I use synesthesia and while maybe it's not the 'proper' way of learning to play the piano, it speeds up learning a song so much faster. Sure I won't ever be Franz Liszt but how many among us are?
@@shengliang2105 yeah good point
This is very accurate to how my life has went. Thank You for informing everyone about my life.
Sincerely, Franz Liszt
hi sir ferenc
@ Franz List Did you use a time machine??
US
@@xiaolanliu1786 How does this imposter continue to find my comments?
Sincerely, Franz Liszt
People pretending to be famous classical musicians in the comments kills me every time lol
Today Liszt is regarded as one of the greatest piano Virtuous of all time. He was also listed in the Guinness Book of Records as one of the most prodigious sight-readers of all time. At some point in his life he took two years to perfect his technique after he heard the leading violin virtuoso of the day, Niccolo Paganini. Afterwards his technical ability was regarded as phenomenal and unsurpassed in his day. Works like the Liszt Sonata in B minor, the Transcendental Etudes and the Liszt Paganini are an incredible attestation to his powers as a virtuoso and composer. In Liszt day only a handful of pianist could play them because he advanced the technique to another level hitherto unknown. Although some of his works are regarded as bombastic, he wrote many first class compositions that are regarded a hallmarks of the repertoire. Liszt reputation as one of the greatest pianists and composers still stands to this day.
Oooh he was in the Guinness book of records??
Thx for the facts
@@hannahquintua for more facts look at "Franz Liszt: Enigmatic Genius" on youtube
@@hannahquintua Oh great Franz Liszt
@@valsammajoseph421
uhhh ??
Considering that Beethoven was totally deaf by 1823 I'd call that anecdote about him being at Liszt's concert and being impressed to be a fabrication.
Actually, there's evidence that he could hear somewhat through his left ear up until his death.
His presence at that concert had been documented. Look it up.
he wasn't even deaf, he could hear on his left year
Hungarian here! Thanks for emphasizing how Liszt considered himself as Hungarian, aka Magyar. Austria tries to claim him as "theirs" though even his name is Hungarian (Liszt means flour).
Also, just a little insight because I saw some comments in the comment section: Hungarians pronounce "sz" as "s" and "s" as "sh" --> that's why it's Liszt. Do not confuse "sz" with "zs" because we pronounce "zs" as "j" ;)
*flies away*
He was not hungarian, sorry for disappointed you :)
His father was from south Slovakia as well as his mother. His father has changed name from List to Liszt because of strong magyarization in Slovakia.
@@samuelsoltesz Maybe not ethically but nationality wise he was considering he was born in Hungary.
The Hungarian language is hell
I think we should take Liszt's own words... He considered himself a Magyar. Not that it matters really, he was a great man.
The picture at 1:38 is actually of Liszt's apartment in Budapest right next to the Franz Liszt Academy of Music. I've been there, and it is certainly quite something
Me too, I found it amazing
In French "I'm excited" ("je suis excitée") means something entirely different.
GrumpyOldMan what
Bruh
Which is??
To ejaculate
In Russian language too. Exited is sexual meaning only
A brief history of Rachmaninoff?
vermutxd at the time I’m reading this comment, there’s a recommended of Rachmaninoff lol
The best of all time. He could play anything at first sight perfectly! Even Chopin recognise how genius Liszt was, he said he wished to play his own compositions as Liszt played it.
Wow. I did not know that!
Is no one going to acknowledge the fact that with the emerald eyes and strong facial features she looks like she could be Liszt's daughter?
No.
becker lmao
Then she is associated with Wagner? Ewww
Yes! She is my daughter
@@Isa-tn7ex haha
Do hardest and least hardest by Liszt
liszt is always gonna be my fav artist !, i have his face tattoed on my shoulder, and i have liebestraum on my right arm. hes music inspired to play piano at age of 5, btw i love your videos :p
miguel angel zulueta does anyone ever see your liebestraum tattoo and mistake it for a neo-nazi thing based on Hitlers idea of a “greater Germany”?
Wut
@@josephgoebbelssmile2700 Liebstraum should look very different from Lebensraum
Thank you 😊
I've always had a superficial vision of Liszt as the rockstar of Romanticism, but this video made me change my mind! Waiting for part 2...
By the way, I'm a beginner composer/songwriter, if any of you would check some of my little songs and give me some feedback, I would really appreciate.
(I hate spamming, I'm just searching a way to start, hope you'll forgive me)
Cheers!
Please make the easiest and hardest pieces of Franz Liszt
Santiago Gonzalez
Eso estuviera brutal que pudiera poner las más fáciles y difíciles de Liszt. Pero no hay las más fáciles solo las menos difíciles.
Eso pensaba, pero su Romance S.169 es bastante "sencillo" comparado con sus otras obras.
one of the hardest must be the original 4th Paganini etude. nobody plays that fast as it is written and the original 6th paganini etude
Yeah
Sry but I never saw an easy piece by Liszt...
Wow I was just going to request this! Now I can't wait for part two. Thanks for the information :)
The greatest pianist of all time, none compare.
Thanks 😊
@@Franz_Liszt_Koreanyou're welcome
Great clip!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Enjoyed your presentation. Thank you.
It is a very good way of summarizing his story! Thank you so much!!
Just incredible. Thanks for this. Liszt is my all time favourite composer.
So nice to hear your history and passion for such a great musician.
I actually play the violin, but your channel is so amazing that I want to watch every video you upload
i luv how u fluently speak please do videos on Sir Mozart
That was great, thank you!!!
Everytime you said “Little Liszt” I laughed. My family(now LIST, to avoid the Hungarian pronunciation, Lischt)is descended from Franz. That being said, I have two older sisters, whenever I entered a new school, all of the teachers and older students always called me “Little List” which annoyed me at the time. Thank you for this video, I needed to brush up on his story to use for lyrics for a song I’m writing called “the Liszt goes on”. The piece was inspired by Queen, Led Zeppelin, And Liszt too(including a piano solo inspired by Piano Concerto No. 1 in E♭major). I play 9 instruments(and sing)now and was recently contracted as a composer for a musical being sponsored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The song is meant to be a tribute to Liszt and a recollection of his life and times followed by a brief lyrical epithet on the challenge of being a respectable musician with such a surname! Sorry for the random comment, I just wanted to let you know why I appreciated this so much! I subscribed as well!
Jet Von Liszt Just a sidenote, the original Hungarian pronunciation of Liszt is the exact same as that of the English word "list", because we pronounce the "SZ" letter combination as an [s] sound as in "see" or "select". You might be confusing it with the Polish pronunciation of the same letter combination. HUN: "SZ" = s, POL: "SZ = sh. :)
yeahsplungeformetoo hmm, in the book, LISZT, they talk about Adam Liszt changing it to avoid the Hungarian pronunciation. Maybe it’s changed since then?
I understand you perfecto. because I play instruments and sing. coincidence. therefore, we dont know each other in personna but we have been friends and colleagues at a distance and circumstances. :) blessings.
Good luck with the song btw
The Hungarian pronunciation is not Lischt, it is List. The sz is just s in English. If his name had cs it would be like English ch. My last name is Szücs. Pronounced almost like Sooch. I changed the spelling in grade school to Sutch (because Szucs looks like it would be sucks in English) but always kept Szucs on my birth certificate as to stay true to my Hungarian roots even though I’m first generation born in the U.S. on my dad’s side.
thank you for making this video!
I love this and have been following your vids for 3 years. Your green eyes are not distracting at all. Thank you.
Thank you for this video! I guess my (our) request has been listened! Great video!
Give us more video like this. I’m in amazement.
Thank you for the story
Brilliant.
Franz liszt . Rockstar of his time..
These history videos are always so much fun to watch, thank you for making them so interesting!
I also enjoyed it!
Has anyone said this to you before? You're so beautiful! Keep up your good work! Cheers from Malaysia =)
7:56 there you go guys, event Liszt had to PRACTICE to become virtuoso despite he was a prodigy.
So, GO PRACTICE !
Great video. Thank you
Thanks! I shared this with my middle school music history students!
Love it! Liszt is awesome. Can't wait for part 2
Thank you!
Thank you!
Wow...there are so many things about Liszt I didn't know. I knew that he was a great pianist, his rockstar image and the overlap of time period with Chopin but I was completely unaware of his initial struggle. Thanks for making this video!
As enamored as she is for Liszt, she is way too caviler. There are many very good presentations about Liszt. David Dubal would be a good start.
I don't really play piano, but i enjoy solo piano music greatly and I find your videos very entertaining.
An excellent video. It's astonishing how many people we consider geniuses today, who were ignored, dismissed, or even scorned during their time. I am relatively new to Liszt, having listened more to Chopin. The power and virtuosity of his music is breathtaking, and I have barely scratched the surface. Will watch Part 2!
Love your "Brief History of" it is easy for me to enjoy.
Brilliant
Yeees, thanks for making this video!!!
Great video!
I recently came across this channel and your passion is really contagious and it's amiable to watch someone who clearly enjoys what one's doing :)
Yes she is as passionate as I am
YESSS!!!! I HAVE BEEN WATING FOR THIS I AM EXCITED!
I'm currently learning liszt's scherzo in g minor, and i think he is one of the best composers ever.
my all time favorite
Great video. I think we implicitly assume that the greats always stood head and shoulders above everyone else. It's hard to imagine Liszt struggling as a composer - playing his now famous works to an unappreciative audience. And it's even more surprising that there were composers considered great in their time, who history forgot. I certainly had no idea who Thalberg was.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING
Thank you :)
My brother introduced me to list after I introduced him to classical music through Mozart and Strauss. Thank you for this nice history. If I may add you're also very beautiful.
Liszt.
Aww man I want the next part...
He was extremely handsome. No wonder women fainted when he played. ❤❤
huh??
@@omi6655 There was stories that said women use to faint when he played his piano back in those times.
@@jlei1995 woah thanks !!!!
appreciate it!
That is such a cool painting at 7:41! Using reverse image search, I could only seem to find it as the cover of "Paganini The 6 Violin Concertos." If anyone knows the source of the full painting, please clue me in!
sounds awesome! do you record the piano yourself, or is it a midi file?
Yayyyy! 2 parts!
Man, all of this information kind of goes wayward from what I was taught about Franz Liszt and "Lisztomania" that happened at the time he performed. From what I was taught and learned, he was widely acclaimed even more-so than Chopin.
I mean they were frenemies and performed together..
Chopin was jealous of Franz.
@@hannahquintua I am so proud of myself
Really great video.
Other great video is "Franz Liszt: Enigmatic Genius" on youtube
Thank you so much for this video-- love your channel! Is there any particular book(s) that you would recommend to a Liszt novice?
you're awesome
I love Liszt, what a beautiful relationship he shared with God 🕊️🎼🕊️ He was for sure a Rockstar of his time, the man was gorgeous 🖤🖤🖤 Great video and information Thankyou 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
5:53 Hilarious
really enjoyed this episode
I really wish you would make a video about requiem Masses and talk about confutatis and lacrimosa
I listen to Liszt on the treadmill lol
Eddie Younis Me too in the gym
Eddie Younis same lol I thought I was the only one.
He was a composer and a virtuoso pianist with massive hands ✋🤚, perhaps the first person to have played Bach on a “modern piano” in a recital. Yaay ! 😀
handsome devil, too, small wonder women were fainting at his concerts! :)
Finally, someone who agrees! Lmao
"devil."
Some people , whether it's great musicians like Liszt , Beethoven and Mozart or scientists like Tesla , Curie and Pasteur , are just completely built different. They really make you feel the awe and the barrier that is called talent.
Dang! Thank you so much! I've been wanting and waiting for this video to happen ever since you mentioned it in a couple of other of your videos! But, to be honest, I bet Franz Liszt was at the top of his game in his generation in terms of sheer piano virtuosity. I just wish I had a decent amount of technical skill and sight reading abilities to play and learn Chopin's preludes (a future goal of mine.) Keep up all the good work. (My piano teacher told me to work and finish on the first mvt by the end of this month (along with bach's prelude in c major). Do you have any tips for me on how to learn it quickly and play it efficiently?) I'll work it up to tempo this time. I barely ever use my metronome, but this time might as well be a good time to start using it. Bye Bye! (P.S How dost thy do, fair maiden/madame?)
Classical music lover yeah quit playing piano if thats the dribble you aspire to play lmao
"The preludes" lol
i didn't expect that cliffhanger xDDD
expecting part 2
Very intresting, all prodigy lifes is a dramatic story
Hi from Russia! Thank you very much for your impressive TH-cam channel!
Transcendental RUSSIA!?
F U C K U
P O L A N D I S N E T T E R
Liszt is great. I love his harmonies, they’re so rich and complex, and he heavily influenced Wagner in this respect. And damn, she’s super cute!
heard he was like a rockstar in his time :)
on 12:34 you point at Berlioz and call him "Mendelssohn" ! You might want to check this. Thanks for the film, all the best for you !
I just wish I could see the reactions from the people he played for hearing Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 for the very first time. I wish they had a movie or something lol
A fairly easy piece by Listz would be his nocturne; "En Reve."
Easier than consolation number 3??
I love this video! Only correction is that Franz List did born in Hungary not in Austria. Like the rest of Burgenland, Raiding (Hungarian: Doborján), belonged to Hungary or the Kingdom of Hungary from c. 900 to 1920/21. After the end of the First World War, Western Hungary was given to Austria with the Treaties of St. Germain and Trianon; there it formed the new province of Burgenland.
If he had facebook
Hed have alot of friends on his franz liszt since hes famous.
Hi, thanks for your videos, my grandfather is a huge fan of Franz Liszt but he doesn't speak english so I wanted to ask you if you could enable "community contribuitions" so I could add the translations to your video, it wouldn't be a problem and I think it could benefit your channel, what do you think? :D
Your name is same as me!
What sources did you use?
My god Allysia! You have the most beautiful green eyes. 😍. And oh yeah, Liszt was great, and all that. (I’m actually more of a jazz fan, just here by chance.)
Interesting
Liszt is flour. Wow....
5:53 hits home
could u do a brief history of tchaikovsky pls ?
8:19 if thats true wow makes me respect liszt even more
There are tons of anecdotes like this! Read about Liszt and Wagner.
Please do the hardest and easiest by Liszt
I never knew Liszt was such the consumate lothario lol
Great bio!
If you want information about Franz Liszt, it begins and ends with Prof. Alan Walker, whose twenty five years in research is...very enlightening. You can also Google Prof. Walker lectures. Most Biography including this one is pure fantasy...
no. I am THE authority on Franz Liszt. you know NOTHING
To clear up any confusion, Liszt was born in Doborjan, Hungary, which is present-day Raiding, Austria.
Will you do like a examination of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition?
Randome Channel that's a beast piece
Best suite for piano in the history of piano. And every new interpretation is worth hearing.
Yes, please, the piano version. Not the over orchestrated version.
Thanks for dealing with my story 😄
I refer to this as equally those who try to paraphase. Example...Bible for dummies, from the King James Bible. Similarly the Life of Franz Liszt begins and ends with the work of Alan Walker, whose life work of twenty five years, needless to say is astounding. It does a disservice to the artist and composer, to do less. There is an introduction to Alan Walker, that you can Google that I think you would fine very interesting, its called 'F. Liszt Piano Transcription of the Beethoen Symphonies by Prof. Alan Walker
Jo Reggelt. 😊
💕
That the best like to dislike ratio i have ever seen well done.
I was thinking, 2:28- was Liszt fluent in English??? He gave his quotes in English (I guess so).
Yeah
