ten blind people hit the dislike button on accident

[Jolteon206]

I love how the Chopin variation is so very much "Chopin" like it can't possibly be anyone else. :D

[OriginalBasaliskos]

@Jolteon206 Chopin's truly is the best of them all.

[GODLOVEEESYOU]

I can't believe I fell asleep to this LOL... It's so good !

[paopaomanalansan]

9:33-9:40 Chopin made a 'big' comeback this time in the tutti section,

[123mazeppa]

"F.L", That doesn't STAND for Franz Liszt.. No no..

That's the piano saying "FUCK!!! LISZT!! :O"

The piano's like... scared of him, LOL!! XD

[kzelmer]

I love Chopin's Variation. Looks so different than the main theme, but at the same time, you can hear it in another dimension.

Lovely.

[2hyeok]

@kzelmer it's more expressi v

[TomPField]

that is the most typically chopin-esque chopin ever. you could have written that haha its so him. i love how all the great variations are just so typical, great though

[diekaiser7]

My god! Rachmaninoff also helped !!!! 10:42

[cedricrlongreen]

simply brilliant

[gayerest]

Chopin just takes it to a whole new level.

[Fredianel]

Carl Filtsch- GREATIST PIANIST IN HISTORY!

[Fredianel]

FINALE GRANDIOSO!!!!!

[Laudan08]

2:38 Feux follets by Czerny? Maybe Liszt inherited this technique from him...

[askdhg]

@Laudan08 It is not really the same technique, but the Czerny Variation is not less difficult then Feux Follet :D

By the way, is Leslie Howard the pianist?

[thenightpriest]

I guess the persons that pressed the dislike button are blind

[PRUDENT92]

Très bon. Leslie Howard est un des meilleurs virtuoses de tous les temps mais Horowitz est le plus grand de tous. Ecoutez le même morceau par Horowitz et vous verrez que c'est joué encore un bon ton au dessus !

[OverFjell]

After hearing this, I want to listen to Festin d'Esope again. xD

[StarWarseu]

@OverFjell you know where to find it, right here on youtube XD

[openmindspace]

This is pretty much... Really fucking awsome.

[u2marten]

this is a monster.

[Zodiarkz]

I'd be content just playing Chopin's part. The others are way too difficult (but beautifully done) and I'm not going to pull my hair out by trying them. Also Chopin, did you have to be the spotlight stealer? You just had to be different didn't you? Haha, that's why he's my number one composer! A great piece of work by everyone involved.

[Lukecash12]

@Zodiarkz I guess so. But Czerny definitely stood out, and Herz was pretty implicit with his device.

[Haeronthegreat]

What happens in the left hand at 10:04ish? It's got nothing to do with what's on the video.

[123eldest]

@Haeronthegreat Yeh i know. I think it's better this way though.

[reddoghud]

@Haeronthegreat

There's an ossia all throughout the last part of the piece that has the octaves you hear in the performance (instead of the tremolos as you see). You can see the score on IMSLP.

[chutdigadut]

and Chopin's was just beyond words beautiful

[chutdigadut]

lol Liszt is just too beastly

[WaldemarKoszlowsky]

I think it's quite difficult, or not... :-))

[fuckslipknot21]

my favourite parts of this masterpiece are variation iv, vivo e brillante, coda and di bravura.

[fuckslipknot21]

who is w.l. at 6:36 ?

[123eldest]

@fuckslipknot21 it says F.L - Liszt

[fuckslipknot21]

@123eldest holy shit!

thanks, i did not notice!! i thought it was a W.

[OceansBoulevard]

Che piacere ascoltare questo mirabile lavoro

[AllMyNicksAreStolen]

Chopin should have played variations 4 and 5 in my opinion, Liszt could have handled the technical difficulty in the last variation easily, and Liszt should have played his own finale, I think

[MultiFailBot]

Herz's variation is so graceful; it's like a dance. Czerny's is very proud and not at all boring, like his etudes are, and Chopin's is so beautiful. The way every note comes in rolled and the way he presents the 'march' theme is very melodic. Liszt's transition between Chopin's variation and the Finale is brilliant (the chords and the ascents bring tears to my eyes.) The ending is a masterwork fit for such a titanic piece.

[100SunsandMoons]

beautiful and great!

[saxomophonegirl]

man, that is so mad! it was tricky just following the music at some stages!

[WatchBlueSkies]

yes great ! 5 Stars * * * * *

[sneakfast]

you can see all the different technical problems that Czerny literally stuffed one onto another. it's like 10 his etudes combined in a very clever and entertaining way:) and because this is a show-off piece, it fills in just great.

[JanaFaukner]

I've just listened to this piece for the first time in my entire life, and I must note it's awesome.

[23global]

@JanaFaukner

Yea me too and I agree !!!!!!!

[Rlaw2222]

@bodacjusz no never, that would be awful especially with Czerny....

[Quirkulous]

I must say I have to agree with you about Czerny. But I must say also that his School of Velocity has some really fun etudes to play, they are almost like little pieces in their own right rather than mere technical studies.

[Kalen1457]

Such a unique work.
