Schubert - Erlkönig 

Hi:) How are you? We almost hit 700k! So, I prepared the special video with Schubert’s piece. I used Liszt’s arrangement for piano. Lots of people requested this piece before. Schubert composed this piece when he was inspired by Goethe’s poem “Erlkönig". Several composers composed various pieces inspired by this poem. I added the comment for the story of the poem. Anyway, thank you so much for your support! My channel has been growing with your support. I will put in lots of effort to prepare for good performances. Please keep watching my channel And, always leave comments if there are pieces which you want to listen to Have a great day!! (This piece requires playing fast octaves in repeated notes. As I said before, my grand piano has a different sensor compared to a digital piano. In repeated notes, LEDs sometimes don’t work. Please understand)

Liszt: Hey Schubert, cool piece! Lemme add some O C T A V E S

Kassia's performance was so lit, that firefighters came after the performance to extinguish the fire

Do you guys know the story of the poem “Erlkönig”? In brief (Wikipedia), a father is rushing him to medical aid. The son claims to see and hear the "Erlkönig" (Elf King). His father claims to not see or hear the creature, and he attempts to comfort his son, asserting natural explanations for what the child sees - a wisp of fog, rustling leaves, shimmering willows. The Elf King attempts to lure the child into joining him, promising amusement, rich clothes, and the attentions of his daughters. Finally, the Elf King declares that he will take the child by force. When his father reaches the destination, the child is already dead.

I didn’t know it was possible to play those octaves that fast. Even with my 9 years of piano experience, I still struggle with these. This is a mind blowing performance. Incredible job

How much tremolo does your piece need? Schubert: "Yes."

That’s not smoke effects. That’s Kassia’s actual camera footage.

If I were to play this on my piano, my piano keys would never bounce back up.

I don‘t really think people understand how difficult this is… you def have my full respect

Legends say the Erkling was going for the pianist's wrist

手が小刻みに反復横跳びしてる… 言葉で表せないぐらいすごい…

The piano is smoking.

中学生の時に絶対流行る曲……それが魔王

*To all pianists - well done watching Kassia*

There is no a happy ending for this piece. Only a beautiful middle, and Kassia made it even more beautiful...

I like how you make the bass lines crisp instead of submerging everthing in pedal and overall, it sounds really clean and crisp. I really love your rendition of this piece. ❤

Wow! The visual effects are amazing! Also those octaves are clean, I dont think any people appreciate how hard it is to play such octaves for 4 minutes. Well done!

으아 옥타브 연타 보기만 해도 손이 아프네요😂 오늘도 좋은 연주 고맙습니다 :)

Damn doesn't your wrist or arm hurt?? It looks painful lmao Btw the thunders appearing once in a while was a good choice to be alongside this piece

The hardest part with this piece is differentiating all the characters since not only do they use different ranges, they're "singing" differently with different emotions and this does a pretty good job in doing that.

This is one of the hardest piano pieces of all times and you’re playing it brilliantly

素晴らしい演奏をお金を払わず聴かせてくれる投稿主に感謝します

Holy crap, this is insane

I love Schubert's music. You've definitely done this piece justice Kassia! The visuals are just amazing too. Fantastic work! :)

コンクールで歌ったなぁ...懐かしいな、

To play octaves so fast with these small hands is an astonishing feat!!

I love how this piece managed to express the two sides of the coins. The roaring beautiness of the G minor scale and the doting F arpeggios...

역시 클래식 연주는 카시아 님이 제일 잘하는거같아요 클라이막스랑 마지막 아이 죽을때 부분이 너무 좋았어요!

I just know this is going to be an amazing performance!

Another breathtaking performance. You really are a key factor in my driving force to become better and better at piano. Thank you so much Kassia🥰🙏🏻

아아아 영상이 좀 더 자주! 많이! 올라왔으면 좋겠어요!!!

Nobody: Not even pianists: Violinist: Vietnam War Flashback

素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます

I love how fast it is, and it feels like ur being blown away with the intensity of the start

That's the top of the piano quickly! very well.- song is beautiful.💕

I just learned about this piece in my history book and now im seeing it everywhere

I'm late, but wow... you always amaze me! I with I could learn from your friend how to make those really good visuals!

Liszt is typically known for easy beginner transcriptions of harder pieces

Piano keys will soon have to be manufactured out of titanium to survive Kassia's speed.

Schubert and Liszt are the perfect match, Schubert's sensitivity and ability to find unique melodies/places combined with Liszt's madness, creativity, virtuosity and arrangement skills have given us the works that personally continue to amaze me so much.

Это нереально!!! Потрясающее исполнение, браво!!! This is unreal!!! Amazing performance, bravo!!!

Wow! From 1:35-2:04, your hands seemingly dance across the keyboard effortlessly and remind me of the soft yet precise way a harpist plays with sound. This deserves a hardcore bravo!

me and my 7th grade lunch hour just watched this and we are praying for your hands (it sounded amazing)

Found this because I was listening to a "19th century villain" playlist and someone commented to look up this song. They were 100% right. This is amazing.

I love how you play this song! I listened it thousands times!

Kassia played so fast that the father and son won the race 🤧

If only people knew how incredibly hard this piece is!! This was amazing!!

It's incredible how music works in our heads, i can hear Dietrich Fischer singing to this

I've never been this early, which is why I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy every single one of your performances :)

ショートで誰かさんが弾いてた記憶

That was so amazingly well played! Great performance, Kassia. This is also a new piece for me, I haven’t heard it before.

歌の部分もピアノなのですね！　迫力もすごくて本当に息を飲んで聞き込んでしましたました。　素晴らしいです。

this is proof classical music isnt just relaxing music for sleeping and hw this also kinda sounds like an action movie soundtrack

정말이즤.. ㅜㅜ 퍄니스트들은 너무멋쩌요

How can you play this so beautifully? How long did you even practise to achieve this magnificent state. I am in awe. You are a genius. ❤️....

Almost there! Let’s go make her 700k subs!!!!!!

Energy drink is included in the piece, it is a must

Kassia plays in the speed of light

In case anyone is wondering this is Liszt's arrangement of Schubert's lied (piece for piano and voice) Erlkoinig

懐かしいなー幼稚園でよく先生が弾いてくれたなー

魔王を演奏できるなんて…！大好きな作品です、有難うございます！😍💕

와 오른손 저 정도면 진동도 만들듯..

Perfect for practicing for a concert! I'm so glad this is on RU-vid!!!!

Imagine someone ask "oh do you play piano? show me" And you play this

I'm convinced Shubert was possessed when he composed.

옛날부터 봐왔지만 정말 잘치네요! 훌륭한 연주 감사합니다

와 내가 제일 좋아하는 곡 사랑합니다

meu deus velho quanta Perfeição, dá pra Sentir!, Eloquência é a palavra Perfeita pra definir essa obra

Spinning our own versions of the past That you could never know 'Cause I know~

Amazing performance Kassia!!!

*🎵 Classical musicians are virtuosos who bring these masterpieces to life with their talent.*

I don't listen to lots of Schubert, but this is really good and you play it so well.

I swear this erlkönig is awesome in all of youtube recording!

The ending is so emotionally powerful, i have no words Kassia. You amaze us everytime. Bravo bravo bravo.

We played this when I was in the school band…. This was one of the first songs I heard when I opened my perspective to the emotions of music…. And my goodness I remember feeling the anxiousness of the song, the feeling of fear as well as the joyfulness

I have never been so impressed by someone playing the piano and especially this piece. And I mean NEVER. I often think that many people overplay pieces by going crazy and therefore it loses the beauty of the piano but this one here and you Kassia? Just wow. I wish I could play like this one day

指取れないの？ってぐらい 強くて激しい弾き方するから本当にびっくりする

Liszt is like: yes one Schubert playable arrangement is enough for you let’s go back to making them impossible Edit: amazing performance Kassia you really nailed it

I'm still not over with my Der Erlkönig fever! I love your video! Just a few weeks ago I've been searching every der erlkönig video playing I can find, and I'm glad you have posted yours! I really love your virtuosity🤩✨

Amazing effects! Looks like a glass pane. Not only are the visual effects great, but your playing and expression is phenomenal! I can always hear the melody clearly! Outstanding! 💕

There is a recent South Korean TV series (or as people call them, k-drama) titled "Divorce Attorney Shin", where this piece is featured prominently. The main character who used to study music, finds a street piano one night, and plays it, as if to relieve internal stress. I am a lover of classical music, but this Shubert's piece was unknown to me. I was blown away how great it was. Therefore I searched for it, and this is how I found Kassia's channel. I feel so lucky. There is so much beautiful music here played by Kassia, I feel overwhelmed.

OH MY GOSH!!! This is SUCH a difficult piece!! VERY WELL PLAYED!!!

ㅎ... 연주 너무너무너무 잘하시네요. 덕분에 감상 잘했습니다. 이런 시를 지은 괴테도 대단하고 이 시의 분위기를 완벽하게 재현해낸 슈베르트도 대단합니다. 천재성들이 너무너무 부럽습니다.

yes!!!! i have been waiting for this. Thank you a lot Kassia ❤️!

When I see those hands move I know magic's real. It's totally impressive. And the playing is beautiful. Props to Kassia

I came from Twoset last video and Sophie mentioned that this piece is very difficult and now that I see it, it is indeed

❤❤❤凄い、おお〜素晴らしいですね♪♪♪💕美しい音色、ありがとうございます。最高〜🎉🎉🎉

진심 너무 잘하세요,,,,,,,, 피아노에 급 관심을 갖게 되어 저도 꼭 마왕이 치는 그날까지!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, this song was played! Thank you, Kassia!

これがないとやっぱ快適な眠りにつけない

My favorite classic song

Loved these new effects 😄

와 이 곡이 진짜 사람이 칠 수 있는 곡이었구나.. 손가락 되게 유연하시다 자유자재로 막 움직여ㄷㄷ

OMG I'm in shock how she can do that. Both she and the piano are beautiful

엄청난 연주 그리고 아름다움 😊 매일 잘 듣고있어요 올 한해도 즐거움과 피아노 음처럼 아름다운 나날이 함께 하기를 바랍니다

I have never clicked a video so fast

I can’t believe I’ve watched every single one of your videos, I have never been this devoted to a RU-vid account, you are amazing!!!!

🎉❤️🎹❤️🎉 Kassia finally did it!

As if "Liszt" isn't terrifying enough

I love your videos
