M. Glinka - V. Gryaznov. Valse-fantasie

[f1f1s]

Despite the crisis of Russian civilization and spirituality today, Russian pianism remains a hardly surpassable rival to all those western schools notwithstanding its multiple borrowings. Ballet, figure skating and pianism are our only three last ditches; my damn country has no more to lose besides that. I will die for Russian composers. I will become the Omnificent and Omnibenevolent One whose destination will be to bring down the whole macrocosm if Russian classical music passes away forever.

Kissin has NOTHING on you, mister Gryaznov, as pianist and musician.

[iamtitovairina]

только сейчас узнала что это называется вальс-фантазия... на уроках в музшколе эту пьесу называли "меланхолический вальс"

[y1g1tcn]

8:25 to 8:30 is heard like one of blumenfeld's etudes

[f1f1s]

@y1g1tcn

Yeah! With a droplet of young Scriabin and Rachmaninov. However, if this weren’t monsieur Gryaznov, I’d rather say this is a gem by early Godowsky. H moll is so godlike. The grief of the whole Universe is concentrated en si mineur.

.

By the way, very beautifully typeset score. Sibelius software version 5, I guess.

Вы заставили меня окунуться в позднеромантические вихри двухлетней давности, Мастер. Мне до Вас как наивному художнику до передвижников.

[Marciksongs]

Просто геніально!  Бравіссімо! :-)

[domdombohya]

I'll try this attractive piece!

Thank you!

[afertyus1000]

[IlidaCullen]

[kuribas]

Hi, I absolutely love you transcription and performance!

It's even better than the original!

I found the score on your website, and I hope to perform it

[UNTITLED4ballads]

I was so impressed!!

This is the greatest trascription piece!!

I'm your BIG FAN!!

I want to play this piece.

But, I can't get it. (Not sold?)

What should I do? ---- from Japan

[Dustnite]

@UNTITLED4ballads

It's on his website. Google for gryaznoff, locate his website, then search the scores section.

[scryabin]

Fantastic transcription by Gryaznov! This is one of the best waltzes ever - I'd love to get the sheet music and perform this piece.

[RebelGodessRed90]

I don't listen to Glinka very much but this very beautiful, just the intenstity and flow of the piece is beautiful and some parts really are unexpecting for a waltz.

Very beautiful.

[JPMardones]

I can't stop coming back every now and then to listen to this incredible transcription.

[aaround]

OMG!!!! I am in love with this

[NOSEhow2LIV]

Glinka retro-viewed thru Rach, Medtner & Ravel! Most enjoyable, if just a little excessive towards the end. Finally this version has a fuller,darker Russian coloring than the original. Fantastic playing. Bravo.

[JPMardones]

great score

[ueblondon]

fabulous!

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

that was transcendental!

[JPMardones]

absolutely beautiful and enjoyable

[xxh3llfir3xx]

kinda sounds like ravel's la valse at some parts haha

[AlexandreJdB]

1:16, it's sounds like Otchi tchyornye!!!!

[mushroomcloud]

daaaaamn gina 

[serox901]

Presuming that the author wrote all of this sheet music's articulation, it's interesting he blatantly disregards it at times like the opening and the accelerando at the end.

Fantastic arrangement though

[s147874]

perfect waltz, stunning fantasy!

[VictoriaKlub]

wow:))

[bugbibi]

amazing

[The55555SSSSS]

I have just discovered the power of Glinka.

This man was amazing!

[kylelandry]

I swear this could pass as Chopin's 5th Ballade. So many similar elements.

[kylelandry]

@kylelandry Well I am second guessing myself, but maybe

[52NANO]

@kylelandry wouldn't it be nice, if chopin had really written a 5th ballade.

[sexierikamalubuy15]

this piece is god

[kylelandry]

Wow......

[Cillitpeng]

Get the sheet music at gryaznoff . com / Scores

With best regards! =)

[PianoSonata]

A marvelous piece. A moment in a blissful fantasy.

[Rafmaninofff]

Gorgeous.....fabulous.... what could I say more? congratulations

[dementedpianist]

the second to last chord is sexy.

[Turanga1i1a]

Beautiful transcription, and so smoothly and elegantly performed!

[f1f1s]

Переслушал десять раз. Это шедевр русского романтизма, это жемчужина аранжировки. Чувствуется Рахманинов, Скрябин и, конечно, Глинка. Просто дух захватывает!!!

[hereinweymouth]

It would be interesting to compare this with the ORIGINAL PIANO VERSION.

[tzvetabg2001]

Ваша транскрипция понравилась мне даже лучше оригинала! Прекрасно!

[f1f1s]

Вячеслав, это просто восхитительно! Давненько я не слышал такого насыщенного звука... Уж не Steinway ли это? Игра... превыше всяких похвал... Мне до такого ещё много лет идти... 5/5

[wborgstro]

this man is beyond human

[19melina92]

although.. thats gonna be a challenge XD

[19melina92]

this is soooo beautifull, i cant wait to try it out on the harp!

[Lizaimer]

He is so talented! I remember his earlier transcriptions. Thank you Slava!

[vadux]

Прекрасно.

[yuhik]

This is absolutely gorgeous and i'm litening to this over and over again and i guess there are 4 bars missing between pages in the video and i really want to see those notes too.

[PianistXXI]

Yes, you're right.. my mistake :)

[hellomate639]

At first I thought "This guy is a genius!"

Then I saw "Transcription."

I thought we had another great composer on our hands at first.

[achilless]

He's still a genius. To transcribe something which would result in this masterpiece is hard work. Granted, composing may be harder, but transcribing also takes skill. This is a piece of art, and it is very very very enjoyable.

[Raffzeee]

This composition is outstanding.

[fantommass]

Could yo send me notes? I would be geatfull
