In this video I react to the most insane piano pieces chosen by Rousseau. Although these pieces are difficult and require a good level of ability to be played, I think there are a lot harder pieces out there to play. If you think there is a harder piece of music, let me know in the comments!
Looking for some help with the piano?

One of the main reasons that moonlight sonata(all movements) is and will forever be my favorite piece is because of the coda. Beethoven's music has always been some of my favorites (waldastein, pathetique, rage over a lost penny), but moonlight sonata just takes the cake imo.

Some of the most insane/hazardous solo pieces: Paganini-Brahms Variations (difficulty 11/10), Cziffra's transcription of Rimsky Korsakov's Flight of the Bumble Bee (difficulty 12/10, probably only a few top pianists can play it properly), Liszt et al.'s Hexameron (difficulty 10/10), Godowsky's transcription of Chopin's Etudes (difficulty 9-12/10, probably only few of the best can play them all properly), Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit (difficulty 10/10), Beethoven's Hammerklavier sonata (difficulty 10/10).

Liszt Hungarian rhapsody’s are very technically difficult because of the length of the piece or just the insane amount of notes . An example I’ve thought is the second Hungarian rhapsody when it gets to the frisks part. Along with the Hungarian rhapsody no 6. Near the end there is huge jumps on the left hand.

@DanielSilva-gc4xz
@DanielSilva-gc4xz Год назад
I'm a piano student and I'm starting to get comfortable to playing fast. Get a good teacher, practice at least 3 hours a day. Dont fail your scales and arpeggios. Never tense up your wrist, always play relaxedly (that's insanely important). Get good fingering (good teacher needed for that). Practice in sections, don't just keep making concertos for yourself. Practice hands separately, if you can only play with the two hand then you only know half of the music. Use metronome regularly. Analise your music, it's important to know the harmonys of your music so you know how to interpret it correctly (tensions and resolutions). Play deep in the piano keybed so you dont miss notes. Practice staccato, modified rythms and modified accents in the fast sections (will help you to play faster)...
@yorkzie7593
@yorkzie7593 Год назад
@@DanielSilva-gc4xz Definitely agree with the teacher and never tense up but the practicing 3 hours a day seems quite traditional in a way and I feel like if you follow that all the time even on days where you might feel tired then that might not be the best but I entirely agree with what you said

No problem with your reaction, but unfortunately, most lists with titles like this one just reflect a lack of exploration of the piano repertoire by the people who put them together. IN terms of my personal musical taste, I'm pretty largely rooted in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but enjoy exploring both before and after those periods. So how you could make such a list and not include something like "Par lui a tout ete fait" from Messiaen's "Vingt Regards sur l'enfant Jesus" or one of the Ligeti etudes, I'll never understand. Throw Chopin Op. 10 #4 at most technically capable pianists and if they don't already know it, they'll say "Sure, I'll give it a go." Throw the Messiaen or Ligeti at them and they're likely to say "Ummm, I'm not sure I'll have the time...."

La Campanella looks hard and it is, don't get me wrong. But Liszt's style consists of mostly technique. If you are dedicated and practice a ton, you could play this. From someone that has been playing piano for 10 years I can tell you that there are a lot more pieces such as Rachmaninoff's Concertos that are way more difficult.
