Vitaly Pisarenko plays Liszt - Après une lecture du Dante - Fantasia quasi sonata, S161/7 

Not that hard when it's your job

When your wife looks after the children it's ok

instaBlaster...

Looks indeed extremely difficult. For comparison just look at Daniel Barenboim playing this very section starting 15: 25 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YolpUQd6bD4.html

@@FirstGentleman1 This was better than I was expecting from Baremboim. Thanks for sharing :)

@Gary Allen GOOD ON YOU. NO GOOD GIVING UP. I TOO PLAY THE PIANO AND I LEARNT TO PLAY FROM THE AGE OF 11 TO 16 THEN QUIT AND ONLY PLAYED THE PIANO AFTER THAT FOR THE FUN OF IT WHEN I WAS IN THE MOOD. BY THE TIME I REACHED MY LATER ADULT LIFE I STOPPED PLAYING THE PIANO ALTOGETHER. I ONLY JUST GOT BACK INTO PLAYING IT IN MY MID TO LATE 50S AND I STARTED COMPOSING MY OWN SONGS, AGAIN, JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT. OF COURSE IF I HAD MY TIME OVER AGAIN I WOULDN'T HAVE STOPPED PLAYING THE PIANO. I LL NEVER BE A CONCERT PIANIST EITHER, IM TOO OLD NOW AND I DIDNT START LEARNING THE PIANO YOUNG ENOUGH. I HEARD YOU HAVE TO START LEARNING BEFORE THE AGE OF 7. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PLAYING. WHY NOT TRY COMPOSING SOME OF YOUR OWN SONGS AND UPLOADING THEM TO RU-vid EVEN IF THEY ARE ONLY EASY TO PLAY TUNES LIKE I COMPOSE?

You will, trust me, if you are about to dedicate your life on the piano, you will.

@@randmgenericname5077 would you be willing to share these tips? I'd be very grateful. I played piano for 4 years in high school and then haven't touched it for 8 years now and I'm getting back into it.

@@nutterules I deleted the comments because I haven't practiced in a long time so I'm the last person that should be giving tips

No you can do it This is not that hard Ive been playing piano for 3 years and I almost finished it

go try listening Seong jin cho's. He's version is excellent too

Try Alvaro Siviero's. Also magnificent!

Franz Liszt was a technical monster, the most incredible pianist of the 19th century in my opinion ! ^^ But a lot of people thinks that Liszt's music is producted by the technique, I think that's wrong, just listen to those slow ane contemplative moments in this piece, Liszt's music is absolutely wonderful, this is my favorite composer for the piano with Prokofiev and Beethoven ^^

Frankie Winters Learning this piece at the moment. Arguably that quiet F# major section just before the part you mentioned was, for me at least, the hardest part of this piece. I'm at the final presto, which may prove to top that hahaha but the large span, polyrhythm and ppp required in that section is just such a departure from the rest of the piece preceding it. Thank god you get a fermata on the low D to prepare for that madness xD

I am learning this piece. Atm I hate 3:15 and 8:55. In my opinion all the octaves and jumps are not as difficult as the tremolo and this pianissimo part.

Imagine writing it.

이부분 너무 완벽함

He is a natural player.

Second on it !

Thank you

Agreed, it’s like twice as amazing as my version, and my version isn’t even that much longer than this one!

Proprio così!

Liszt does not make anything easy.

Thank u

ty daddy liszt

thanks

thank you for giving me one of the best sonatas I've ever heard

Much appreciated that you took the elevator downwards to shake the hand of the fellow holding the pitckfork and be offered the position of providing the soundtrack.

disagree hamelin and the volodos version seem better to me vitaly keeps cutting pedal off too soon imo

This is very good, Hamelin is shit.

You mean me right?

Ludwig Galaxy ...probably two weeks if this is all he was working on practicing 40 hours per day. Most musicians are learning an entire program and probably learn more than one piece at a time, so it would take longer than two weeks to be ready for prime time.

Yea, Volodo also made arrangements to make it even more virtuoso, he is more focuses on playing it as virtuistic and difficult as possible to show off his skill, but Pisenko has different intentions.

Not as good as mine

Me too

It's not the rhythm that's difficult. If you play this piece a lot slower than he is playing it, it is (for the most part) quite easy to hit the right keys at the right time. I've only tried playing the first half, but for an amateur like me the difficult thing is to increase the speed whilst maintaining some sort of control and then being able to create any kind of phrasing. Before seeing this video I wouldn't have imagined this piece being this dynamic and melodic.

Also…?

Better if you cross your hands

LingLingski

B minor by far

you have no brain
