Challenge accepted🥵 Who has already played this piece? These challenges are always little fun projects full of surprises and things to learn - if you would like me to do this on any other piece, please tell me in the comments! Have a great week everyone!!!😊
My neighbours grandchild brought me back down to earth last week by asking me to play the "Tom and Jerry music". I said I didn't know it,and she stamped her foot and told me I did. Then I realised it was this. Bless her
Could also be Grande Valse Brillante Op. 18 :) i think that one is a lot eaiser than this one (although also difficult) but certainly not as difficult as this.
I am always amazed by her rapid progress on these 1m/10m/1h challenges. Her initial sight readings are usually better than most medium players after working a piece for a month.
That was awesome! Very popular difficult piece, but I would love to see you doing this challenge to a piece that you can actually finish in 1h. I don't know, some popular suggestions: Schumann - Traumarei; Chopin - Nocturne in E flat major, or Raindrop Prelude, or Minute Waltz; Liszt - Consolation No.3; Rachmaninoff - Prelude in C sharp minor; Mendelssohn - lieder ohne worte Op.30 No.6.
If she heard Traumarei before I’m pretty sure she could just sight read it… ofc there will be improvements with one hour version but it won’t be anything major.
@@sakarasomapa Yeah, you are probably right. But I think that could be interesting as well, to see the fine tuning adjustments that she would work on to put the piece to a high level standard.
@@philip.stigaard I can't, but she can haha. I agree, there is a lot more than playing the right notes and one could argue that a piece is never truly finished as there are always some fine tunning details that you can improve. But I meant finish in the sense of playing throught the entire piece.
HAHAHAH 8:23 is too good. That's me. "OoooOOOooH shIiiiIIitTT" in tune to the melody 🤣 Also wooooo part 2. Love the commentary, love the new angle, love Lizst. Keep it up!
A brave move to show the world the imperfectness of learning. The cross handed pieces I remember weren't that difficult ( Beethoven Pathetique, Mozart Sonata 11 ). I learned them in my teens and love to play them till today. Now I'm a 53 year old german truckdriver and so thankfull for the ability to escape the everyday life by playing piano. Good to see that even highly skilled artists like you struggle a bit to learn something new ;-) Great video!!
@@onlygigachadsknowsmyname still trying to practice daily💪 Still need at least a couple more years to get to Hungarian rhapsody level of technique but im slowly getting there
As a drummer who loves piano, I went on to learn the first 3 pages of Grieg's piano concerto. It took me around 6 months to be able to read them and totally butcher it on the piano but it was exhilarating :p I remain amazed by people who are able to play such incredibly difficult pieces in a few minutes. And I remain bad at reading even my drum scores.
I think there won't be time for her to get to the part of the "octave jumps" of Wilde Jagd, it's there at the end. Do you think "Feux Follets" might be a better idea?
@@libEluLLah In my case, I just download the video audio to cut only the part of the result that she plays. (But I also watch the entire video when I have time). Although, from what I understand, the purpose of this type of video is as much entertainment, as how much a professional musician can get by training such music in 1 min, 10 min and 1 hour, or also to illustrate how a professional musician practices a song from scratch, using your tactics and explaining them... So I think the intention is not just to see someone suffer.
Bravo! You did in 1 hour that I have been trying to do all my life since I was 10 years old. I am 70 now and have totally given up ever being able to play that part of the piece. It is easy to play it at half speed but next to impossible at full speed like you did. WOW I am just amazed at your ability.
this is one of my top 4 favorite pieces, and I literally had goosebumps seeing you practice, amazing! The sound quality (of both the capture as well as the piano itself) is excellent, and it is well complimented by the ingenious piece as well as your brilliant technique. A great video!
Very impressive! Quickly, yes, I like the new camera angle; I always like watching a pianist's hands, and the way you did repetitive notes was very instructive, very fluid. Hand over hand: yes, various pieces. Even more fun is one had directly over the other; there's an exercise in Mikrokosmos (vol. 2, I think) that keeps one had above the other for the entire piece, both hands staying in the same octave. And both hands in different keys, of course; it's Bartok. An interesting challenge for you: Khachaturian's Toccata, beautiful showpiece, with hand over hand, and some fast repeated notes with the hands alternating. Thank you for this challenge piece, and looking forward to part two!
@@sooccc No they didn't, Liszt's Hungarian rhapsody has been a staple of any advanced classical pianist repertoire. This piece has also been extremely popular ever since it's inception in 1847. Became even more popular in the 1940s when it was frequently featured in popular cartoons.
I found your channel today and I love your videos, you show that mistakes are part of the process and the importance of how to practice and practice itself. awesome job!
@@user-gn1kb2zx6b nothing too amazing. For example I can play the easier part of Fur Elise fine and now find that when I start to learn a new piece it’s a lot easier than it used to be.
it's always been one of my dream pieces. I hadn't been playing much the last 10 years or so since college but got back into it recently with some chopin and campanella. I started this piece like 8-9 days ago and am pretty close. Just keep at it. One thing is learning all the different scales and whatnot. This song jumps from F sharp minor to C # minor and all around to F# major and C# major and A major. If you try to read every note every time you play it would be alot of pain. But with time you get comfortable playing in any key. I swear I still don't like playing in Bb minor. I mean i can just fine but every other key is like automatic and that one just doesn't come quite as naturally. But there's so much repetition of different.. motifs? passages? in this song, just dressed up differently. In different octaves or with thirds added or in multiple keys. The bass line is always changing but still super repetitive if you know what key you're playing in. for instance, the little squeaky kinda chromatic flourishes (for instance right before the 3-4 octave run up a major scale) is a sequence used in F# major C# major and A major. if you're comfortable in those keys you know it would be F-A, D-F, B-D, G-B with a 5 chord in the bass, then C-E, G-C, E-G, C (if you were playing in C major). I'd say just don't rush it, unless thats what you enjoy. It will take some time to be able to play at that speed repeated notes especially. I would assume at least. Since i know the song in my head also helps too, and ive been trying to listen to it every day or so to help learn it. This part she played in the video right here is probably the most fun part to play. The beginning of friska, but my favorite is the second half she played here, the second page basically. The build up to the main theme (duh dun dun DUM- duh dun dun DUM duh dun dun dUM--dh dun dun DUM, da doo doo DA, la la la LA dun duh duh DUMB!) I think I'm sleep deprived, sorry. Good video.
big challenge, and big blessing for us to see how far a gifted artist can get in such a sort time. If only some portion of the blessing could be transformed in taking away the pressure that Annique feels under. Challenges are wonderful if they don’t mean “be perfect or feel shame!”
2:26 one of those rare times you didn't get startled by the 1min timer. That's also an improvement in itself :) J/k it's always a treat to watch your 1 Min/10 Min/1 Hour Challenge vids.
PLEASE keep practicing this!!!! you can do it!!! it sounds wonderful......and only an hour in??? that's fantastic!!!! It's a GREAT song!!! keep it up and PLEASE post the final outcome!!!
Nice! Insanely well played for an hour XD The tempo was kept at a good speed without error on one hour, the speed is hard I do admit especially with the middle part done, but insanely well done.
Unfassbar GUT! Ich weiß nicht wie lange ich auf das schon gewartet habe. Meinen Respekt! Irgendwann wirst du mindestens 500.000 Abos kriegen. Cooler Kontent! Vereinigen diese Format ist echt eine gute Idee. Weiter so!
In this piece your left hand is shifting quite a few octaves while your right hand plays a melody which stays relatively closer in terms of pitch, if there weren’t crossed hands you would have to shift both hands so it would actually make more sense if you used to your left hand to keep switching octaves above and below your right hand.
Haven't played the piano for 10 years, but I have played with crossed hands, hehehe. One case I remember is Beethoven's Pathetique. Usually one of the hands is doing something repetitive, so I just focus on the other hand and don't have too many problems with the crossing - at least as far as I recall :)
I really liked the new angle! I also really liked the vocal narration in the hour section. As someone new to learning piano, this was really helpful to understanding your process.
I am currently learning this piece and I only play the piano for 4 years. I can say it’s going pretty good. I have learnt the first part of it and almost half of the Friska part. Imo the hardest part is the left hand but after a week I have gotten used to it
I am an intermediate piano player who loves Listz, and I’ve been working on this song Almost exclusively for over a year. I’ve not even gotten all the way through yet, much less worked out all the inaccuracies. It’s tough
Great piece and great job, but could you do Rachmaninow's Sonata no.2 in b-flat minor next? I would love to see the result of a practice session of that piece.
Thank you for sharing this. What I found very interesting is, that in the beginning, around 1:57, when you where slow and still unsure, there was a mystical magic in your play, if the Master Liszt himself would be present for a while, it was touching. But while getting better and faster, the technical level increased but the magic decreased. I think it was about the pedal and the switch between left and right, but I’m not sure. I would wish to feel the magic when you play it after the exercise. Do you feel what I mean?
@@lenni1215 dumbest comment I ve ever read. Its obvious that you have no idea of Minecraft pvp, piano playing and brain function and learning processes
Finally! That piece is my dream, but I'm only a beginner (and pretty lazy) and a lot of time will pass till I learn it. Btw: you are always asked to play quite famous pieces and it seems you don't know them. So my question is: what pieces do you learn during your studies?
The piano literature is so big that we have to choose what we want to play in our lives as it is not possible to play all of it. These famous pieces are great and beautiful - but not the only interesting pieces in piano literature;) if you want to know what I played in my life, here is a repertoire list: www.annique-piano.com/repertoire-liste 😊
