Beethoven "Moonlight" Sonata, III "Presto Agitato" Valentina Lisitsa 

I’m more impressed by her Waldstein though (both because it’s harder and because I don’t like her Moonlight compared to other pianists whereas her Waldstein is brilliant).

She has both

And the speed

Not just the speed*

AS PRONOUNCED AS A SLAVIC CURSE WORD ISN'T IT!??? 😂😂😂 She's just the Best 💯

This. I've practiced this a little and, while I have yet to reach her speed, I've actually managed to play it really fast. It just sounds dirty and bad^^;

Yup

Funny thing is that the famous 1st movement is depressing as hell.

@@waryo Depressing as hell? I don't agree at all. On the other hand, there's no accounting for tastes!

I find this depressing too, this, for me, sounds like a mix of desperation and a slow descent into insanity

I would go into more depression, its so tense and heavy

Not too hard, with what passes for "musicians" these days. 😀

true, but what on gods green earth is that username "simp_Zone" do you want people to bully you or are you just some random 12 year old who thinks its funny

It goes well in a hyper-caffeinated society that we currently live in. Urgent and rushed.

Check out Liszt we can all say for certain he was incredible, Mazeppa incoming

Right on! its mindboggling to me of how Beethoven even thought of this stuff, totally insane, absolutely brilliant

if you find this exciting, you should definitely check out rachmaninovs etude tableaux op 39 no 6, and some of liszts etudes (especially mazeppa) and his mephisto waltz.

What about Chopin's Ballade no.1? :( Beethoven can't beat that coda

Good one

But there is a lesson here - namely that Beethoven can be played this well, albeit by very very few.

They disliked it cause it's rushed and sounds robotic as well as 90% of her other recordings

skyler mccloud Have you ever listened to the actual song? This is the speed it’s supposed to be played at.

@@natemckay9903 I'm not talking about the tempo I'm talking about the slurs in-between the notes she gives no space in between notes listen to Wilhelm kempff recording and you'll see what I mean she also bangs everynote

@@lopezfamily2089 of course it has a lot to do with learning and practice but still, I think one needs to be born with a talent that makes them drawn to whatever instrument they choose for them to master it to this level, just like how singers are born with their unique voices

Thomas Headley thanks that is true. It can be difficult I guess every one is different. Never thought music could lead to destruction as the first two movements of this piece singlehandedly kept me alive in some of my most darkest days. This music speaks to my core and every week if it was ALL I could do, I just learnt one bar. One by one. And then I could play it. It was my only source of happiness and beauty for a long time so I can’t really understand that frame of mind.

I learned Moonlight sonata bar by bar as a result of Valentina’s performance.

Don’t give up, Cleary Ellis! I put this aside for now, but will continue again when I’m in the right frame of mind 😉

You got a heart from her

After 6 month of very hard practice I've stopped playing 3d Movement because I heard this perfect version and realize that my piano skills are ridiculous 🙈🤣🤣🤣

+Erik Watch Paul Barton, he is the most relaxed pianist I have ever seen, his playing looks pretty much effortless, and it's also very, very good. Personally, I like the energy of Lisistza's playing, but Barton just makes it look so casual/easy.

mydogskips2 yeah you’re right, I watched him play Chopin op. 10 no. 4. He makes it look like he doesn’t even need to practice before playing haha

@@Thvll Interesting piece you mention, the Chopin etude, it's actually the first video of Lisistza's that I ever watched some years ago which started my interest in her. It was stunning to me for many reasons, not the least of which is because I had never actually heard the piece before, but since having listened to many, many others play it, I can say it is one of the very best I have ever heard, probably just behind Pollini's performance.

That’s how you know she’s a pro

Don’t refer Valentina as ‘This Person.’ She deserves to be called her name into achieving such greatness. I’ll get my smartass back into minecraft lmAo

Zalera In my opinion, referring to her as “Valentina” would be considered more disrespectful than “this person” because you are saying her name from a stance where you are either friends with her or at such a musical talent that she matches your skill as a colleague or peer. Using her last name, “Lisitsa,” would be more appropriate because it gives her a professional stance when being mentioned in third person. There is a reason why most essays require people to speak about authors using their surnames instead of their first names, and this is that exact reason.
