you should react to all transcendental etudes from liszt. There he displayed the hardest piano techniques and great lyrical pictures. Every etude has a story, for example the last and 12th piece has the name „chasse neige“ which means snowstorm and that is pure pure art because he creates a visual image of a very beautiful but later heavy heavy tragic snowstorm which buries people and landscape. This transcendental set represents liszts absolute virtuosity and is a must for a musical intellectual like you. I enjoyed your thoughts and feelings and your reaction on this rhapsody very much. You should really react to more romantic piano music :) And especially liszt, because its not subjective to say that he mastered the virtuosity of piano composition and play
I was enjoying my old favourite Zappa songs, but the cat came to life for Liszt, I have to defer to his ears. What a great channel, can't wait to get to your videos. Thanks for your commentary.
Good Morning from Poland... You're such an expert on pianism as I am the violinist you pretend to be ! If you want to comment on the playing of this brilliant pianist, at least learn to pronounce her famous name: Lisica !
The piece was written with a LOT of dynamics (all the way from ppp to fff from what I recall). Her execution of it is the BEST I've seen on YT. Also the Tom & Jerry cartoon version of this song is AMAZING! Especially the cover that Yannie Tan does of it!
