Melodies in the bass (as at 2:40) are something else. They tend to have this “longing” feeling. They are used beautifully in Liszt’s Reminiscences of Norma (outstanding arrangement by the way), among many other pieces.
Tausig was a giant also as far as his original piano music. Unfortunately everyone and his grandfather knows him for pedantic exercises for pupils ignoring his stunning masterworks (same destiny as Hanon and, partially, Czerny who, nonetheless, is great even while writing pupils exercises hence is the greatest among didactic composers). But Tausig original and non-exercises music is outstanding
I love this piece of music and I'm eager to learn it. I have never heard of the composer so now I have found his works I will be listening for another of his masterpieces for piano to learn.
@@PianoScoreVids Not at all, it's just... he is such an underrated composer; I had never heard this beautiful piece before, thanks for making it available!
yes I think the marking is probably from the Composer in this case and andantes from that time were played rather fast, but slower would probably still work, but it's even with that tempo almost 5 minutes which feels long enough for what is being said
I think even an extremely talented nine -year -old would be unlikely to write something with so many octaves and large chords; his hands wouldn't have yet been big enough for that to be a natural way of arranging or playing. Incredibly polished writing for fifteen or thereabouts!
To think what we lost musically with his dad had me at 29 years of age! Just think if only he could’ve lived 50 more years what he might have a dude exclamation
Yeah, this whole channel is Gamma sight reading! He makes an occasional mistake, but he reads amazingly and plays with great expression for sight reading.
Or close to it. You can go back and review his channel for years. You can find some live streams of just sight reading for an hour. He is something like an engineering graduate student who sight reads obscure works as a hobby/for fun so that we can all be exposed to music that we otherwise wouldn’t hear. Really!
@@alanleoneldavid1787 You don't seem to understand at all. It's not about things like "virtuosity". It is the simple biologic fact of a small hand at 9 years old completely incapable of playing these chords here. It is simply too small.
