Liszt - Transcendental Étude, S.139 - No.4 "Mazeppa" (Gryaznov)

Liszt Transcendental Étude No. 4 in D minor "Mazeppa"
Performed by Vyacheslav Gryaznov
"Mazeppa" is among the most difficult of Liszt's etudes and is a more developed version of Liszt's 4th Douze Grandes Étude. The main theme impersonates the style of a galloping horse by presenting octaves with thirds focused in the center of the keys, while the sections themselves are separated by double-octave progressions. The piece requires daunting levels of speed and stamina, and mastery of the piano for the jumps spanning more than one octave. And lastly, the etude was drafted in 1840 under S.138 but was later revised by Liszt in 1852 under S.139.

Man the bite he gets out of those opening chords is demonic! I love it

He plays with such a bravado. Like not only can he play this, but he's emphasizing the ease and control he has over the instrument.

Your description mentions the 4th etude in D minor as 'Feux Follets'
Otherwise cool interpretation!

Bravo ,attento a non usare troppo pedale,a volte il suono specie nelle ottave può risultare confuso comunque bella la parte centrale espressiva🎉, sicuramente questa versione degli studi trascendentali è superiore a quella redatta sotto il nome di grandi studi del 38, viceversa preferisco di gran lunga la versione del 38 degli studi di Paganini rispetto alla medesima del 53 che risulta troppo scarna e facilitata che comunque rimane difficile ma non con quegli effetti e fantastici accordi di quella del 38..
