Franz Liszt Transcendental Etude No. 10

[mystical2826]

o.o 5 minutes!!!!!!!!!! my hands would have been aching alot by then!

[2creepie]

i really liked this <3 i'm sure if Liszt was still alive he would love your playing!!

[wiiwin6]

great playing!

I'm learning this piece right now; btw what fingering do you use for the descending arpeggios at around the 2:00 mark?

[titusbeertsen]

2:39 very nice, finally someone who can really bring out these details in the soft parts of Liszt's music, instead of just pounding away :)

[kecske35]

There is only one guy who does not like this video ....he might play it better than you ... and i am thinking there is only one man who did it Cziffra, but he is gone .... so this other guy must be an idiot.

Anyhow, you are a great talent. I enjoyed it. Very musical and concentrated. Good luck !

[Redprojectstudios]

Props  for the recording and for the performance keep up the good work.

[margyoseven]

I think this is magnificent!

[PhillipLWilcher]

I would say this is one of the finest performances I have heard. As breathless in moments as it is urgent and supremely secure. Dynamic. Wicked. Devilish. Mephistophelean. Articulate and true. Favourited with the greatest pleasure.

What a sound!

[ann03071874]

Omg amazing! Superb playing dude :D

[BlazeKenny]

same here, i usually dont click on amateur videos. but this guy deserves a like, I liked it more than Berezovsky´s interpretation.

[thedudems]

A+

[theBIGGESTmidgetz]

wow this is sweet! watching this vid for a music appreciation class but didn't expect to be this impressed - props !

[luaghingatyou]

eargasm!!

[jurriepurrie]

Great left hand man!

[JlDsanity]

You know... I don't normally look at amateur videos all the way through... they're usually not good, but this is far beyond better than what i was expecting to hear when i clicked on this vid. Excellent Playing...

[DevonMcAllister1]

I am glad to see someone not trying to rush through the piece for their own glory. You do the piece justice, congratulations. I have only been playing for about 6 months, but cannot read music, only play by ear. This piece baffles me so greatly that it's become my favorite piece. Continue performing!

[Pitsoulas]

you are sooooo gooood!!!!!!!!!!

[fystasjoppheng]

Amazing! What grand piano are you playing?(Steinway?)

[Kalen1457]

Excellent playing!!!

[UrantiaMansion]

Beautiful! Now if you can naturally improvise and compose in this manner THAT would be awesome! It can be done and it's time for the next generation of Franz Liszts to come from underground and expose this great art to more of the world...

[SamuraiThomas]

Best rendition on YouTube thus far! Props to you good sir!

[cboffen]

This is amazing!!! Thanks for sharing this recording. I am fiddling around with this piece, and being able to see your hands while you are playing is immensely helpful. You should record La Campanella, another beautiful Liszt piece (which I suspect that you may play already?).

[RedOmen02]

Eeeh? With no music in front..?

You're really amazing! Your hands are so fast and accurate.. Really wow! They even blur..

Well, I'm sure you know that already..

How does it feel to watch your hands doing that from a 3rd person point of view? Seems like it'd be weird. Wonderful job, and thanks for sharing with us!

It's a bit chaotic for me, but still a very interesting piece of music.

[tkuami]

very good!

[AmericanCars101]

That's awsome man, I practicing this peice and learning it at the same time. Do you mind me asking how long you practiced this piece?

[splico17]

@AmericanCars101 at the time i played it around one month.. it got much better later but i didnt feel like recording it again. good luck :)

[Xcelerate2]

..btw, how did you record this? The sound quality is very good.

[splico17]

@Xcelerate2 my father recored this so i have no idea, but its certainly better then an average recorder :)

[JackSausage000]

PERFECT

[xlilaznsoul]

i enjoyed this. i think you are one of the few people who are actually very good

[Rararak]

You definitely have piano fingers - super long and slim. I've always wanted fingers like that..

Lovely playing. :)

[Und1ne]

WOW nice

[Xcelerate2]

Wow, that's really good! I haven't seen many versions of this that I like, but you and Lugansky are my favorites!

[pianofolle]

this is an excellent performance, both technically and as to musical taste. i dont care who you are (fuck the star system !): it's actually my favourite after Logansky.

[4763021]

haha, nice cut

[jyodh]

excellent

[88Woland]

The architecture of the piece is right!

Bravo!

[vanilove8]

ok so FRANE!!!! you are AMAZINGGGGG AND YOU ARE ONLY IN HIGH SCHOOL !!!

just amazing....dont go to europe!!!!

[chopinandliszt]

are there any good exercises to practice passages of alternating hands like the one at the beginning of this etude?

[splico17]

yeah, we all feel a natural pulse in every passage we play, and usually the brain focuses more attention on 1 23, 1 23. so here accent different chords so the brain works out any problems. example in the first passage. 31 2, 31 2 or 12 3, 12 3.. the beat with the space being more long and little accented. sorry if it doesn't make sense, i m not good at explaining stuff.. this recording was the begining product. i can play it much better now. thanks for the comments.

[chopinandliszt]

thanks..and I wonder how you deal with those cross-rhythms. They say whenever two rhythms cross each other, they create a new rhythm. I try them by counting 6 and playing the RH at 1, 4 and LH at 1, 3, 5. What's your way of dealing with them?

[StylaFlex]

very nice! great control and coherent expression. the way it should be played!

[splico17]

its a Yamaha but its the biggest size they have so it almost as good as a Steinway grand .. thanks for the compliment!

[maxi937]

Sorry I can't stand videos of pianists who show just their hands. Which is a shame because your very good.

[trtnec]

I completely disagree, I can't stand videos with all this fancy direction and camera work, maybe for slow pieces, but all I wanna see for pieces like this, Feux Follets, Mazeppa are the hands, that's all that interests me, I think most pianists would agree. They would rather see the playing, not facial expressions.

[chopinandliszt]

I completely agree with trtnec, showing their body postures, expressions can possibly give them the attitude of "showing off". What's important is what the fingers, hands do. I actually don't like the videos of Berezovsky playing the Etudes, (but, I like his performances) because they change scenes too much and also show how much he sweats, which I don't care. All I care about is his brilliant execution of technique and musical expressions.

[Lukecash12]

Play it however you want though, who am i to critic you. You and you and i am me. You probably have your reasons, but i wonder what they are, if you are willing to confide them to me...

[Lukecash12]

You definitely were technically sound, but you rushed the theme, and that's a big no no...

[tinsplit]

Vidi se da je splićo samo u splitu rađaju takvi ljudi lave najbolji samo naprid reka mi je duje draganja za tebe ja san prika njegovog rođaka sestra ti prekrasno piva a ti sviraš kralju najjči samo naprid poharaj amerikance gore i dokaži im da smo mi hrvati najbolji i da nam nema ravnih

[Aul1kki]

Wonderful job! You bring out everything nicely.

But I think it needs a little bit more training. It's not as flowing as it can be. But sometimes this is enough, if you are not going to perform it. Do you have fully relaxed hands when you play this?

[chopinandliszt]

how hard is it? Compared to other difficult transcendental etudes like No.5, No.8 and No.12?

[splico17]

harder than 8, easier then 5 and 12

[trigalg693]

8 seems harder from looking at the score, although I haven't played any so :P 8 has those massive jumps which are hella impossible.

[splico17]

I played 8 and its definitely easier then 10, but you are right about the jumps. there is that one spot with the octave jumps in the right hand which are deadly :)

[george013]

hmmmm, after hearing 5 and seeing people play it, it doesn't seem harder. What's harder about it?

[splico17]

try playing it and you'll see :) right hand is really tricky.

[chopinandliszt]

how do you play that 5 vs 6 cross rhythm?

[pianofolle]

everything

[chopinandliszt]

better than the slightly mechanical performance of Pollini.

[carlhopkinson]

Beautiful efficient and graceful execution. Bravo!!

[Lidiazinha]

that's really " apassionata " :D

[ModernDrummer1234567]

Very well done.

[btajick]

Dayum, your fingers are so long, u must get all the girls. :P

[dwadwawawd]

Ruši kralju !!!!! Bravo - from Šime

[JessetheGreat23]

It's ok.... Salim Se. Odlicno je bio.

[smyleeea]

yeah!!!!!!! AWESOME DUDE!!!!!!!!!

[avetma]

Great playing! Well done, my friend. 5 stars.

[cornbowbow]

Awesome!
