    • @nickjgunning
      @nickjgunning 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Of course the pianos of 1826 might not have had the dynamics or range of this in the later period. Double escapement and overstringing were in early stages. A strong influence of Schubert here.

    These are just plain beautiful. Some almost pure Czerny passages (especially in Feux Follets) but lots of pure young Liszt. Yes, they were what he used later in life as the basis of the transcendental studies. If you think these are technically impressive for 15 then have a look at Brahms's F minor sonata, written when he was just 14.

    WOW! I'm stunned. I've never heard this version. This is exceptional and from a 15 year old Liszt. Astonishing! I'm amazed at no.5 feux follets which is nothing like what was to become yet wonderfully musical. Hearing this is a treasure to me. Thanks you. I'm hooked. Now I have to get the score and learn it. I've got a shot with this compared to the final version. Thanks!

  • @cedricrlongreen

    So I was already impressed by the fact that he wrote the first versions at such a young age but I think I'm even more impressed with how amazingly he reworked them into the "Douze Grandes" version (before the Transcendental version). Also there are elements of his first version I like more than the later versions but the "Douze Grandes Etudes" will ALWAYS be my fave❤🎵

    By far the most impressive etude out of this set is no.9, not only does it sound close to the latest version, but it also reflects certain characters Liszt usually reserved for in his later years. Its a delight to listen to it !

    • @marcorval
      @marcorval 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hmm...the early version is actually much faster (Allegro grazioso), Wolfram just chose to play it at a slower tempo. But they use the exact same theme - it is as if Liszt recalls his childhood nostalgically in the later version because here he is obviously bouncy and carefree.

    It is FASCINATING to see these “prototypes” of the Transcontinental Etudes and their evolutions: they haven’t even been given their titles yet! If I remember correctly, there is the “intermediate” version between the two, as well. Ooh, No. 7 eventually became “Harmonies du soir” (No.11)! No. 8 is quite similar to Chopin Op.10-12 in so many ways! No. 9 might have inspired Saint-Saens into Delilah’s air “Mon coeur”! No. 11 didn’t “survive” into the final version, I see.

      I started at 4, classical, but lacked proper mentors along the way and lost a lot of progress to it. Like I always wanted to play Liszt and Beethoven, but should've had someone to push me towards Prokofiev and Bartok. So I stagnated, though I can play almost everything. I promise you, as long as you get the appropriate guidance, you'll be a star.

      ​​​​@@ruby_R53 wrong. Preludes have nothing to do with time. Some are longer than most. Its a piece that is expressive and represents the composers artistry. In a larger work, a prelude serves as the introduction. Not just a prelude alone. That's a character piece. Point is that preludes don't have any rules in terms of structure. Sort of like a Fantasie, except fantasies are longer works for that matter.
      Perfect example: Chopin. His preludes aren't all short. Some take up a few pages at slow tempo & moderate tempo. Food for thought.

      ​​​​@@FranzLiszt0904it's the shortest not because it's titled prelude, rather it's the original that was transcribed in manner which Liszt kept a similar but more complex rendition of technique and tempi in the succeeding works. His second set was actually God awfully difficult to the point he transcribed another set which we all know of. Some find that much harder, but that wasn't Liszt's goal, because, well... Liszt had to be Liszt and no matter what he did in his prime, his works required formidable technique that were beyond many pianists of those times.

    I was playing piano whenever and wherever I could find a piano because we didn't own a piano at the time. The apartment we lived in was too small and we couldn't afford to buy a piano. When I was sixteen, we moved into a house which had a piano already. The previous owner of the house didn't play piano but he hadn't tried to sell the piano. Since the piano was badly out of tune, I had to pay for a professional piano tuning.
