Yunchan Lim LAUGHS in the face of Liszt's hardest piece! 😆 |  

Exceptional performance!!!! The notes 🎶 are so clear and delicate!!!! Incredible Yunchan!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The hardest Liszt piece is arguably the transcription of Beethoven's 9th.

The Feux Follet obsession 😂

Assiya Korepanova is my big friend❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My idea: The reason we wear wedding bands on the fourth finger is that is, on its own, a weak finger, tied strongly to the third finger. The band represents the synergy of fingers working together. There is no such thing as "independent" fingers--try to "make them" independent, and you may suffer serious and permanent injury. Double notes require coordination--not a "free and independent fourth finger".

I didn't know that! Korea Pianist is the best 😊

I believe the edition edited by Jossefy has the exercises necessary to learn this piece.

I think he may be partly laughing about how easy it is to do what he's doing on THAT piano as opposed to what he had been practicing on

It’s unfortunate how everyone in the classical community is obsessed with difficulty instead of whether or not it actually sounds good lol

I wouldn't say the most difficult but the most fun one.

bjutiful

Which trascendental etude is this?

I can play.. Mary Had a Little Lamb

I'd swear he had a third hand if I couldn't see the video

"liszts hardest piece" lmao not even close

It doesn't come close to Don Juan's Reminiscence, Spanish fantasy and symphony transcriptions

Seriously, I really don't know why every classical music lover is stuck with the idea that a pianist should achieve the clearness and independence of every finger. I mean, the way Yunchan plays that passage is extremely difficult, but I think that all that practice is a useless waste of time, because it sounds so cold and mechanical. Do you know what Chopin wrote in his esquisses pour une methode de piano? "For a long time we have been acting against nature by training our fingers to be all equally powerful. As each finger is differently formed, it’s better not to attempt to destroy the particular charm of each one’s touch but on the contrary to develop it. Each finger’s power is determined by its shape: the thumb having the most power, being the broadest, shortest and freest; the fifth [finger] as the other extremity of the hand; the third as the middle and the pivot; then the second [illegible]. And then the fourth, the weakest one, the Siamese twin of the third, bound to it by a common ligament, and which people insist on trying to separate from the third-which is impossible, and, fortunately, unnecessary. As many different sounds as there are fingers". Well, in my opinion, Yunchan does the opposite.

deleting comments 😔

Amazingly boring as music but amazingly fun as showpiece lollipop.

Technique is just gymnastics for the hands. Making music cannot be taught because it comes from the heart. Anyone with enough "zitz fleish" can become technically proficient. 8 hours a day for 10 years will do it. 😂

They have to sell a product, like yuja wang
