Wait is it like Flaming and Kassia are neighbours and they're like "hey sup" on every video?

On point. That or I'm really feeling the piece

I'm.. I'm a lisztener! 😮

My music is quite cute

Ahhh I see what you did there

Cute to the ears, but a monster to the pianist

#liszteners

Our back say *HELL NO*

fingers should’ve been eyes lol

Doing Fist Push Ups helps. Also yoga, so your back doesnt hurt

A Commentor I’m pretty sure you use your finger muscles when pressing a note.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

elképesztő😊🇭🇺

Thank you very very much for all your support and kind words! My teacher has been a really big help in my piano journey and I look forward to more insane stuff like this next time (I just don't know how soon)!

Oh "Horowitzian veneer" is what that hot and spicy *P O W E R* in forte chords is called? Thank you!

This is like berlioz machete hongoroise

Thanks! Really hope this goes viral, it helps if you share!

@@TheFlamingPiano You must be feeling pretty good now with 0.3M views ;) You absolutely nailed it! am fond your intonation most of all. Would love to see Hungarian Rhapsody no.2 for your take on that sweet drop halfway through. If I may ask, what is your practice regime like and when did you start playing? Considering to start taking piano lessons but not sure if it's worth it

@@Tomogeny Now I do 2-4 hrs a day. Started when I was 8 but inconsistent and even stopped for a while. Worth it if you're really into it, for me. Long way to go before HR2

Uhuhhuhu

@@TheFlamingPiano Actually, I find this quite comparable. I believe in you! You've conquered Fantasie Impromptu, HR 15, Appassionata (3rd Mvt) and Pathetique Sonatas, so I wouldn't call HR 2 beyond you. Obviously, you know yourself best though lol. ;)

Liszt is my favorite of all composers, I've been listening to and discovering more of his music ever since, mostly because of Leslie Howard. Thanks!

@@TheFlamingPiano Liszt is my favourite too! Thank you so much for playing this! The other Hungarian rhapsodies deserve some love too.

*liszt’s skeleton moves his hands* Pianists: DON’T.

@@Mr.X2 .It's not funny, stupid.

Lmbo I love that this is just eachother saying “not funny stupid”

@@Mazeppa385 do you play piano ya dipshit? There was no need to comment that, but ya did. And lemme tell ya something. Liszt really aint easy.

Lol I love these comments

HAHAHAHAHA

LOL!

Fckin genious😂😂😂😂😂

Well, he was described to be very tall, very intelligent, and very handsome, so I think he would be popular with the ladies any which way

Ummmm that’s weird

Pinhead that doesn’t change the fact that he’s good with his fingers

@@darkhafgor, @dvg1985, He was very very popular.

This joke does not get enough recognition (currently at 91 likes)

Wow thanks a lot!

Geometry Dash is a good game ;)

Sir Louco that was so random

@@agastyaraul6710 no, it's because his profile picture is about Geometry Dash. My favorite game lol

Sir Louco oh ok

It's perfect because I edited the MIDI, but thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! Yeah it takes a lot of practice but then you'll get used to it. Those aren't the hardest parts, but they're fun for sure. 6:06 is quite tiring especially if you can't relax or control your wrists well though

Fun fact: There is something called Reminiscences of Don Juan and is more difficult than that :)

Thanks a lot! Really hope so... someday

He is better than roussea and kassia

Kassia is better than flaming piano and rousseau is a bit better than flaming piano.

Means a lot coming from you. Thanks!!!

My sister in law also Andrea

Actually I find Chopin in general way harder than Liszt idk

@@danieldefoe2190 definitely not. A lot of pieces by liszt are avoided by the best concert pianists, such as El contrabandista, gallop in a minor, the transcendental etudes etc... chopin is very difficult aswell of course but not more than liszt

In my opinion Liszt is harder, but Chopin is more beautiful

@@santiagoibanez718 I feel like the only real competitor to Chopin in beauty is Schubert

I'm touched, but those two are way above my level. Surely they can pull this off too. Anyway thanks for watching and enjoying!

@@TheFlamingPiano you're so humble, love you man, amazing playing

Well good thing it’s his last name

Ez jó volt

Hát igen😂

@Franz Liszt you were the best hungarian komponist.

nope, its just the major of the original theme of the piece

Yeah, like wtf

Early life Franz Liszt's mother, Anna Liszt Franz Liszt was born to Anna Liszt (née Maria Anna Lager)[10] and Adam Liszt on 22 October 1811, in the village of Doborján (German: Raiding) in Sopron County, in the Kingdom of Hungary, Austrian Empire.[n 2] Liszt's father played the piano, violin, cello, and guitar. He had been in the service of Prince Nikolaus II Esterházy and knew Haydn, Hummel, and Beethoven personally. At age six, Franz began listening attentively to his father's piano playing. Franz also found exposure to music through attending Mass, as well as traveling Romani bands that toured the Hungarian countryside.[11] Adam began teaching him the piano at age seven, and Franz began composing in an elementary manner when he was eight. He appeared in concerts at Sopron and Pressburg (Hungarian: Pozsony, present-day Bratislava, Slovakia) in October and November 1820 at age nine. After the concerts, a group of wealthy sponsors (probably including composer Elise Schlick)[12] offered to finance Franz's musical education in Vienna.[13] There, Liszt received piano lessons from Carl Czerny,[14] who in his own youth had been a student of Beethoven and Hummel. He also received lessons in composition from Ferdinando Paer and Antonio Salieri, who was then the music director of the Viennese court. Liszt's public debut in Vienna on 1 December 1822, at a concert at the "Landständischer Saal", was a great success. He was greeted in Austrian and Hungarian aristocratic circles and met Beethoven and Schubert.[n 3] In the spring of 1823, when his one-year leave of absence came to an end, Adam Liszt asked Prince Esterházy in vain, for two more years. Adam Liszt, therefore, took his leave of the Prince's services. At the end of April 1823, the family returned to Hungary for the last time. At the end of May 1823, the family traveled to Vienna once more. Towards the end of 1823 or early 1824, Liszt's first composition was published, his Variation on a Waltz by Diabelli (now S. 147), which appeared as Variation 24 in Part II of Vaterländischer Künstlerverein. This anthology, commissioned by Anton Diabelli, includes 50 variations on his waltz by 50 different composers (Part II), Part I being taken up by Beethoven's 33 variations on the same theme, which are now separately better known simply as his Diabelli Variations, Op. 120. Liszt's inclusion in the Diabelli project (he was described in it as "an 11-year-old boy, born in Hungary") was almost certainly at the instigation of Czerny, his teacher, and also a participant. Liszt was the only child composer in the anthology.[citation needed]

Adolescence After his father's death in 1827, Liszt moved to Paris;[15] for the next five years, he lived with his mother in a small apartment. He gave up touring, and in order to earn money, Liszt gave lessons on piano and composition, often from early morning until late at night. His students were scattered across the city and he had to cover long distances. Because of this, he kept uncertain hours and also took up smoking and drinking- habits he would continue throughout his life.[16][17] The following year, Liszt fell in love with one of his pupils, Caroline de Saint-Cricq, the daughter of Charles X's minister of commerce, Pierre de Saint-Cricq. Her father, however, insisted that the affair be broken off.[18] Liszt fell very ill, to the extent that an obituary notice was printed in a Paris newspaper, and he underwent a long period of religious doubts and pessimism. He again stated a wish to join the Church but was dissuaded this time by his mother. He had many discussions with the Abbé de Lamennais, who acted as his spiritual father, and also with Chrétien Urhan, a German-born violinist who introduced him to the Saint-Simonists.[16] Urhan also wrote music that was anti-classical and highly subjective, with titles such as Elle et moi, La Salvation angélique and Les Regrets, and may have whetted the young Liszt's taste for musical romanticism. Equally important for Liszt was Urhan's earnest championship of Schubert, which may have stimulated his own lifelong devotion to that composer's music.[19] During this period, Liszt read widely to overcome his lack of general education, and he soon came into contact with many of the leading authors and artists of his day, including Victor Hugo, Alphonse de Lamartine and Heinrich Heine. He composed practically nothing in these years. Nevertheless, the July Revolution of 1830 inspired him to sketch a Revolutionary Symphony based on the events of the "three glorious days," and he took a greater interest in events surrounding him. He met Hector Berlioz on 4 December 1830, the day before the premiere of the Symphonie fantastique. Berlioz's music made a strong impression on Liszt, especially later when he was writing for orchestra. He also inherited from Berlioz the diabolic quality of many of his works.[16]

Influence from Paganini Portrait of Liszt by Henri Lehmann (1839) After attending a charity concert on 20 April 1832, for the victims of the Parisian cholera epidemic, organized by Niccolò Paganini,[20] Liszt became determined to become as great a virtuoso on the piano as Paganini was on the violin. Paris in the 1830s had become the nexus for pianistic activities, with dozens of pianists dedicated to perfection at the keyboard. Some, such as Sigismond Thalberg and Alexander Dreyschock, focused on specific aspects of technique, such as the "three-hand effect" and octaves, respectively. While it has since been referred to as the "flying trapeze" school of piano playing, this generation also solved some of the most intractable problems of piano technique, raising the general level of performance to previously unimagined heights. Liszt's strength and ability to stand out in this company was in mastering all the aspects of piano technique cultivated singly and assiduously by his rivals.[21] In 1833, he made transcriptions of several works by Berlioz including the Symphonie fantastique. His chief motive in doing so, especially with the Symphonie, was to help the poverty-stricken Berlioz, whose symphony remained unknown and unpublished. Liszt bore the expense of publishing the transcription himself and played it many times to help popularize the original score.[22] He was also forming a friendship with a third composer who influenced him, Frédéric Chopin; under his influence, Liszt's poetic and romantic side began to develop.[16]

Affair with Countess Marie d'Agoult Liszt's fundraising concert for the flood victims of Pest, where he was the conductor of the orchestra, Vigadó Concert Hall, Pest, Hungary, 1839 In 1833, Liszt began his relationship with the Countess Marie d'Agoult. In addition to this, at the end of April 1834, he made the acquaintance of Felicité de Lamennais.[23] Under the influence[clarification needed] of both, Liszt's creative output exploded.[citation needed] In 1835, the countess left her husband and family to join Liszt in Geneva; Liszt's daughter with the countess, Blandine, was born there on 18 December.[citation needed] Liszt taught at the newly founded Geneva Conservatory, wrote a manual of piano technique (later lost)[24] and contributed essays for the Paris Revue et gazette musicale. In these essays, he argued for the raising of the artist from the status of a servant to a respected member of the community.[16] For the next four years, Liszt and the countess lived together. From August 1837 until November 1839 they travelled to Italy and Switzerland, staying successively in Bellagio, Milan, Venice, Lugano, Modena, Florence, Bologna and Rome. It was these travels that inspired the composer to write his cycle of piano collections entitled Années de pèlerinage.[25][26] Their daughter, Cosima, was born on Lake Como. On 9 May 1839, Liszt's and the countess's only son, Daniel, was born, but that autumn relations between them became strained.[citation needed] Liszt heard that plans for a Beethoven Monument in Bonn were in danger of collapse for lack of funds and pledged his support. Doing so meant returning to the life of a touring virtuoso.[citation needed] The countess returned to Paris with the children, while Liszt gave six concerts in Vienna, then toured Hungary.[16]

Touring Europe Earliest known photograph of Liszt (1843) by Hermann Biow For the next eight years Liszt continued to tour Europe, spending holidays with the countess and their children on the island of Nonnenwerth on the Rhine in the summers of 1841 and 1843. In spring 1844, the couple finally separated.[citation needed] This was Liszt's most brilliant period as a concert pianist; honors were showered on him and he was met with adulation wherever he went.[16] Liszt wrote his Three Concert Études between 1845 and 1849.[27] Since he often appeared three or four times a week in concert, it could be safe to assume that he appeared in public well over a thousand times during this eight-year period. Moreover, his great fame as a pianist, which he would continue to enjoy long after he had officially retired from the concert stage, was based mainly on his accomplishments during this time.[28] During his virtuoso heyday, Liszt was described by the writer Hans Christian Andersen as a "slim young man...[with] dark hair hung around his pale face".[29] He was seen as handsome[4][30][31] by many, with the German poet Heinrich Heine writing concerning his showmanship during concerts: "How powerful, how shattering was his mere physical appearance".[32] In 1841, Franz Liszt was admitted to the Freemason's lodge "Unity" "Zur Einigkeit", in Frankfurt am Main. He was promoted to the second degree and elected master as a member of the lodge "Zur Eintracht", in Berlin. From 1845, he was also an honorary member of the lodge "Modestia cum Libertate" at Zürich and in 1870 of the lodge in Pest (Budapest-Hungary).[33][34] After 1842, "Lisztomania"-coined by 19th-century German poet and Liszt's contemporary, Heinrich Heine-swept across Europe.[6] The reception that Liszt enjoyed, as a result, can be described only as hysterical. Women fought over his silk handkerchiefs and velvet gloves, which they ripped to shreds as souvenirs. This atmosphere was fuelled in great part by the artist's mesmeric personality and stage presence. Many witnesses later testified that Liszt's playing raised the mood of audiences to a level of mystical ecstasy.[35] On 14 March 1842, Liszt received an honorary doctorate from the University of Königsberg-an honor unprecedented at the time and an especially important one from the perspective of the German tradition. Liszt never used 'Dr. Liszt' or 'Dr. Franz Liszt' publicly. Ferdinand Hiller, a rival of Liszt at the time, was allegedly highly jealous of the decision made by the university.[36][37] On the 7 July 1853, Liszt, the composer Richard Wagner and the poet Georg Herwegh made a boat ride on Lake Lucerne from Brunnen to Rütli where the three took a brotherly potion from the three mythical sources.[38] The two latter ones were in exile in Switzerland due to their revolutionary activities in Germany.[38] Adding to his reputation was that Liszt gave away much of his proceeds to charity and humanitarian causes in his whole life. Liszt had made so much money by his mid-forties that nearly all his performing fees after 1857 went to charity.[citation needed] While his work for the Beethoven monument and the Hungarian National School of Music is well known, he also gave generously to the building fund of Cologne Cathedral, the establishment of a Gymnasium at Dortmund, and the construction of the Leopold Church in Pest. There were also private donations to hospitals, schools, and charitable organizations such as the Leipzig Musicians Pension Fund.[citation needed] When he found out about the Great Fire of Hamburg, which raged for three days during May 1842 and destroyed much of the city, he gave concerts in aid of the thousands of homeless there.[3]

Underrated comment.

Charles Ives, Szymanowski and Sorabji. They all want to know your location. Wait there's more Roslavets, Mereaux, Feinberg, Busoni, Alkan, Medtner, Ligeti, Stravinsky etc.

tell that to the 10 year old asian kid playing La campanella and Hungarian Rhapsody no2

Thank you so much for the kind words! Maybe you can also hear my music while watching those!

Thanks! Honestly they're not so clean, it's just that I edited the MIDI

@@TheFlamingPiano Thanks for the honesty. I knew, Rousseau also making this always.

@@sitirable I don't think Rousseau edits his. I still see mistakes in some of his videos

@@TheFlamingPiano Wow. Ok then :) Thanks.

Indeed Mr. Prokofiev

HAHHAHAHA

Szégyeld magad

Thanks so much! Might do Black Keys Etude for 20k. Hope it grows fast!

Yes it's all based off the Rakoczi March, a Hungarian anthem

It is a hungarian folksong, there was a revolution against the Habsburgs in Hungary. II. Rákóczi Ferenc was the leader and it is after his name.

When I listened to it that stunned me because I recognized Berlioz's Damnation de Faust's Hungarian March XD

Apparently Liszt introduced the tune to Berlioz.

me too

Hey Are you like hungarian rhapsody15?????????

@@HELLO-wq5vn What do you mean?

What a way to describe it! Thanks so much!

@@TheFlamingPiano You're welcome! I watched it again, and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!

Pretty much. If you want to see one where it looks like she it using about 25, take a look at THIS, I think you will enjoy it (Jazz, not classical, but hopefully), and her technical prowess is unbelievable (really). I put you in at a semi ridiculous spot, out of context, but it gets the 10 fingers/hand point across: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ht5sFgl9NkE.html and here's one where you can see her playing a different piece (but the standard frame rate isn't even close to fast enough to see individual finger movements, at times), from the beginning, it gets crazy later on: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xl3OMD885J8.html There are currently some amazing keyboardists out there. On the classical side, for technical expertise, some of Yuja Wang's wilder stuff is something to see, as well, IMHO.

Thanks for all your support!

@@TheFlamingPiano my pleasure! Thank you for all your practice to play these magnificent pieces!!

Not really but thanks for watching it again! It was full of mistakes that I edited out.

@@TheFlamingPiano You are most welcome Jason! One can't tell if mistakes are made with the lit up keys and all. You are very honest to say that you had to fix your errors. For me, it was still a great performance! I am sure I couldn't play half of it! Have a great night :-)

@@TheFlamingPiano Funny, looking back, I think I made two comments on this... I really enjoy this piece 😀

Thanks! Trust me, Rousseau and Kassia played some way harder stuff!

Watch the performance of Alexander Malofeev (14 y.o), S.Rachmaninoff Piano sonata 2 in B-flat Minor, Op.36. That's really unbelievable!

@TheTage Show I'll put that aside for now. Working on Beethoven Symphony 5 1st mvt for a festival, and starting on Mephisto Waltz (will take so long to master). I don't know what else I'll be working on with my teacher, but I plan to cover Black Keys etude, maybe for 20k

Hehe thanks! Yeah it doubled my views and income
