Ligeti Etude pour piano Nr.13

[michaelnyman1]

Your performance is very very good, it sounds very cool, its a very difficult piece, you're big... The begining is impresive.

[TheStealth86]

thank you so much for posting this! it sounds really nicely recorded, for CD?

I can easily understand how you think it is representative of the 20th century

[Liquidspaceman]

I just got done listening to this piece. Great piece by the way! Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps is going to be using it this year (2011) as part of their show and it definitely is the sounds of SCV!

[michaelnyman1]

On what piano is this piece played?

[MrStrav81]

I love how it is zooming in on a picture of a cat in the middle of it.

[gonrolgonrol]

Wonderful interpretation!

I hear in this interpretation new sides to this composition.

:)

[MaLillyBoogan]

who is the pianist?

[ilkinond]

@MaLillyBoogan That is for you to discern from the postings.

[dukedome]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk....the cat is very funny......kkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[3cplantin]

For a real human, enter this search: Ligeti -- L'escalier du Diable and watch andoloro play it!

[hiscraft]

anybody know if this is a machine or what?

I find this kind of addicting.

[Denesmanzo]

mmmh sounds like fréderik Ullén interpretation

[TheEarlOfDublin]

also lmao @ the cat at 2:00

[TheEarlOfDublin]

What an intense interpretation.

[AlainLeboeuf]

Il faut écouter du Ligeti sur Steinway ,ne serait- que pour son arc en ciel ,notemment dans les aigus.

La pédale OUI mais ...!

[theguyi26]

Very scary cat. 1:56

[kiisaka]

Madness!!!!!

However, I feel it's too fast and all the accents are lost in the torrent of the notes.

[glebvic]

It's because this is the mechanical piano version. This is on the Ligeti compilation CD of piano works for the player piano. Everything is taken to a gross speed. I've never heard anyone ever play it THIS fast.

[dadalaidou]

What about posting, for us, Catenaire from Carter (see Youtube version of Pierre-Laurent Aimard). That would be such a gift !

[BlueCougar]

Shades of Nancarrow, whom Ligeti admired.

[bordaz1]

Oh GollyGeewillikers! My middle school band performed this! I want a soda!

[frycld]

Whose performance is this?

[IGA000TAKA]

It is a performance of the contributor himself.

[mickyj300x]

There is no way you can play that at that speed! You sir, should be a concert pianist. Transcendental performance!

[TheBlackPage1]

LOL at the cat!

[jeffbrak]

Sounds programmed, but great dynamic inflection anyways.

[IGA000TAKA]

The score that someone had copied was obtained, and played.

[kiisaka]

Indeed. Compared to the footage of his live performances, I do suspect that this recording was programmed. However, I have a feeling that Ligeti would approve of it.

I wish the lines were better projected.

[IGA000TAKA]

I was glad to watch.

Not playing this work in real time as shown in the point. However, it is not driving either.

MidiDATA by real- hand-play of the electric piano is edited with the "sequencer.

The pitch adjusts the tempo as it is.

LIGETI Etude produces the sound source of all works in a similar method.

It was thought whether there may be also such a method by me because there was a performance instruction by the player piano, too.

Thank you.

The text uses the translation software.

[kiseneintende]

This is the best interpretation.

I don't like greg anderson's interpretation: he is excessive and superficially.

[kiseneintende]

Perfect

[Alexias030692]

Walkin' Talkin' Jesus, who's the pianist here?? Anybody know?

[dadalaidou]

I love what he does at 1'20

[20Regards]

It's madness ! fantastically played...

Thank You

[guboub]

This is not a human pianist, isn't it?

[wing19831228]

no...don't agree...

lot of peoples can perform it...

this etude is difficult..

but isn't the most difficult etude form G.Ligeti.....

[guboub]

There is nuances and accents, but no phrase direction, especially around 1:20 and 2:00. Nuances and accents can be easily programmed on any musical player.

Maybe we should ask the person who posted the video, that would close the debate...

[RodericusNamak]

"L'escalier du diable" is one of my favourite études.
