no such thing. its impossible for a pianist to go faster than synthesia tempo... only person that has ever attempted this speed is pletnev, but no one will surpass a synthesia
9:11 to 9:32 is by far the hardest for me. The trills are the only reason why I never played this piece without cheats (like no cuts and stuff) I always die from the trills., and if I do the trills perfectly, I die in 10:37 And then I will die again on 11:15 and stop on 11:40
the music kinda sounds like an aggresive choppin but the difficulty is liszt type , this is easily one of the hardest pieces out there ig it just is as hard as the transcendental etudes (1883 versions) nd also the remininces of liszt
@@thenotsogoodpianist4706 It's at least as hard, I don't understand why people even compare this etude to Liszt's 1838 etudes. Mereaux's etudes have never been easier than those.
@@DefinitelyNotFelis. well ,,, ok let's put some spotlight to liszt work S700ii ,, its huge nd hard Also if we talk abt mereaux's etude I think only this nd bravura nd the last one are harder than liszt etudes
@@thenotsogoodpianist4706 His Variations on Paganini Themes are hard, for God's sake. But I think not among his most difficult pieces. His top-tier Reminiscences, Spanish Fantasy, La Clochette Fantasy, El Contrabandista, Tarantella di Bravura, Beethoven Symphony transcriptions, Symphonie Fantastique transcription and some of his 1837-1839 Douze Grandes etudes are terrifyingly difficult and technique-wise beats Mereaux's top-tier etudes like 24, 60 and even 45 (although not Liszt's Douze Grandes etudes, I just mentioned them for reference). I don't know why you didn't even mention all these pieces. Other than all these pieces, I think only 6th etude out of the 1838 Paganini etudes is at the level of Mereaux's 3 hardest etudes. 6th etude from the set is the only piece that is at the level of Mereaux's etudes, if not harder. For a Liszt piece that is below 10 minutes, it's incredible.
Not perfectly but still at that tempo i don't think it would be possible for no mistakes at all and seon yong hwang is still miles ahead of everybody else's performances
@@yorkzie7593 yea not perfect perfect but like you said, miles ahead of everyone else. the midis are also too fast, mereaux himself probably played at somewhere between Hubert M's midi and seonyong's tempo
@@yorkzie7593 Yeah, we'll never really know... my statement is just a conjecture from my experience with the piece, since hand/keyboard size influences the difficulty of this piece to quite a large degree
@thenotsookayguy Except they also use the exact same parts in both pieces. Nearly at the same time. They don't sound similar because of the theme, but because they literally used the same notes at times
It’s funny, listening to Liszt without knowing what you’re actually listening to just feels like finding video game easter eggs. Sometimes you find the older versions of Liszt pieces you’ve already heard before and it’s like “heyyyy I’ve heard that before”
