  • Excellent, more pleasant Cuban music that will always be the representation of an era, a wonderful composer Ernesto Lecuona, and a people .................Excelente, la musica mas agradable Cubana que siempre sera la representacion de una epoca ,un magnifico compositor Ernesto Lecuona, y un Pueblo.................

  • And when he finishes, he stands up like a toreador, and looks at the public as if he was saying: "¡Ahí tienen, carajo!"

  • @bienporteno Muy buena su descripcin , me encanta su comentario, pero su interprete Es Cubano,me jor dicho la musica fue escrita, si que su musica algunas son muy Españolas, Pero tambien llas composiciones de La comparsita Syboney y muchas mas son el magifico legado de la musica Cubana conocida Internacionalmente , gracias un saludo,

  • @xacobeo4 Sí, sé que Ernesto Lecuona es cubano, es más, soy pianista y el año pasado interpreté "La Comparsa" en la escuela donde estudio música. Pero es increíble cómo Lecuona fue influenciado por la música española, se nota en las escalas, en los matices, en la armonía. Y el pianista en este video realmente sintió todo el fervor de esa música española, y por eso digo que se levantó como un toreador (aún cuando no estoy muy a favor de la matanza de toros, lo menciono nada más por la actitud).

  • @xacobeo4 Me alegro que le haya gustado mi comentario de todas formas ! Gracias a ud., saludos!

  • Does anyone have sheet music for this. I can only seem to find guitar tabs. I'd much rather play it on piano though.

  • Stands well played side-by-side with Montoya's guitar version. He renders reaquedo like a guitarist, which I suppose was his intent, while maintaining the authority of his instrument.

    Bravo, señor maestro!

  • how does he play this with such precision?? beautiful

  • 3:55 my comment......speechless how fast his hands were

  • El mejor interprete de Ernesto Lecuona!!...maravilloso!

  • Hi Emily.

  • uma apoteose ,maravilhoso

  • Impresionante versión.

    Me mató el flaco que entró para decir que el pianista parece Mario Bros...

  • Bro Fuck beethoven ,chopin.mozart .bach. lecuona is better than all those dick heads

  • The accordion also has its strengths. 

  • No me canso  de mirar este video .

  • At the end when he stands up he's like "ya, I know...I'm hot shit" LOL

  • Funkel Ustinov

  • Can you see my piano performance of this song? Positive comments pls (:

    /watch?v=D6jj0i5n2mY

  • Superb interpretation; stunning performance!

  • He's so crazy!!!! I love him!!!

  • @somedueonline You are right, the guitar has it's strengths...., and the piano also. This is one example, no?

  • @bucephalus48 right but you diminished the guitar to a kazoo I didn't say the piano was a week instrument.

  • Amazing! Great playing!

    Thank you.

    Luz

  • Ahh, the piano version, played on guitar??? The wise man said; you can't get there from here.... The guitar is like a kazoo compared to the piano. The difference in expressiveness has no ending. They aren't comparable. If you want to play the guitar, stick with the guitar malaguenas. They are numerous.

  • @bucephalus48 you can you just need a couple guitars/guitarists. And I wouldn't say the Guitar is a Kazoo compared to the Piano, there are things you can do on the piano that you can't do with just one guitar and there are things you can do with the guitar that you cannot do on the piano.

  • the piano is the best instrument anthing the guitar can do a piano can do it better

  • @ Vixiiano I have been working on this song for two years now, with occaisional input from an on again off again teacher, and I'm still not at this man's level, it's aggravating beyond belief since I'm a perfectionist. I WISH I COULD DO THIS!!!!!!

  • his life is bro

  • 3:25 sounds like Rachmaninoff's Prelude Op. 23 No. 5 in G minor. The second part of the prelude, the slow part. Really, really similar.

  • UGH its absolutely amazing .__. I've been trying to perfect this song for a year, trying to get as good as him, it's not easy! and at 00:53-00:57 o___o i dont understand how he does that! I wish i had a teacher to help me :/ its hard doing it on your own.

  • Here it is, I played this as a youth, have been waiting for a difinitive representaion.. This is the shit..........................­.

  • Please tell me how anyone can dislike this video? I just don't understand videos that have thumbs down that are no where near deserving of a thumbs down. This video does not deserve any thumbs down. It is simple spectacular.

  • Comment removed

  • wow the pianist is really good! He can really make one note loud and the one the second after really quiet.

  • Outstanding!

    

  • great performance wonderful!!!!!

  • I never knew that Mario could play the piano, I always assumed that he was too busy fighting Bowser to learn.....

  • amazing man really really wonderfull.... you have the piano sheet?

  • It'sa me, Mario!

  • Me pregunto: Qué podrá gustarle a 16 personas?...Ya sé...Regetonn.................­.

  • VIVA LECUONA, VIVA CUBA!

  • Evocative and quite passionate..........wonderful

  • Sooooo good!

  • Honrado de ser músico y descendiente de este gran artista...!

  • Mario Bros!

  • The pianist reminds me of Mario Bros

  • yo escuche al maestro lecuona tocar malagueña y damisela encantadora hace 55 años en disco de la rca victor. extraordinario.

  • hìhí_í_fèel_sø_l0Ñèly_tõdày

  • He played it wonderfully, but it doesn't feel like the Malagueña, maybe its because I've heard it in guitar all my life.

  • woww,sooo good!

  • I think it's from a piano book by Ernesto Lecouna -- from the the Spanish Suite "ANDALUCIA" or.. well.. not so sure i've seen it one time ...

  • Me parece una manera bestial como toca la Malagueña le pone sentimiento entusiasmo pero creo que le falta algo ! Lo siento soy española, andaluza y sobre todo Malagueña!! un bss desde málaga

  • a guy from my High School just learned this song for Solo Ensamble, and he's 16! He performed it for our concert and got a standing O. I love this song!

  • Bravo! I love this song and you performed it brilliantly. You have inspired me to play it with my husband, virtuoso guitarist, Jeff Linsky. Smiles and Thank you! Lisa Linsky

  • Bravo!!!

  • I absolutely love playing this piece. I am not crazy about the slow middle section though. I think this guy play it too fast, but he is still pretty good :)

  • This is not described as never

    Very cool

  • It seems that in every video on youtube there are at least 12 jackasses that take the time to dislike every video, even beautifal music like this.

  • 3:10 - 3:17 Breathtaking ability by the Maestro.

  • i have this exact piece! this was my first piano recital piece. i was still in grade 3 then, about 9 or 10 years old. after a year or so i've forgotten how to play it. :D

  • ahh I want to play this but I'm a guitarist with no piano and it would take me several months to get to this level on the piano only playing this song, but the guitar version isn't nearly as amazing, is there ANY very that's transcribed note for note?

  • @SomeDude0nline There are probably quite a number of different guitar versions of Malaguena. You might want to see which is best and work from that.

  • @mvbart Yeah I've looked at quite a few of them and none of them are similar enough they just don't have the right sound or feel this song is just so perfect on the piano I think it would really have to be note for note to sound right, my grandma has the sheet music so what I might end up doing is struggling my way through that and making it work for what sounds good to me.

  • @SomeDude0nline Just keep in mind that a piano and a guitar are two very different instruments and any adaptation from one to the other will require some changes.

  • @mvbart Noted and understood already, but the immense changes I'm hearing I don't believe to be necessary.

  • @SomeDude0nline If you are not satisfied with the current arrangements available, perhaps, the best thing to do would be to make your own arrangement or modfy one of the pre-existing arrangements. I suggest that you obtain the original piano version to help you do this.

  • @mvbart Hence my comment about struggling my way through my grandma's sheet music and making it work the way I want it to sound on guitar :)

  • @mvbart I play this version on guitar in my group, we are 4 guitars to do it. It's a very fun one to play! :)

  • @SomeDude0nline also, he's not a beginner, he's obviously a professional of the highest caliber. People who have been playing piano for many years (like me) struggle BIG TIME with this piece. It is NOT a beginner's piece.

  • @MDkid1 Did I say he's a beginner?....No. Did I say I wouldn't struggle?..........No. I consider myself to be ahead of the game as far as beginning piano players because of how dextrous my fingers are naturally along with the 9 years of guitar playing I've done. And I KNOW I could learn this song to play it the way I want within a matter of months if I had the time to play and practice for at least an hour a day. Obviously I wont get it perfect within that amount of time. Did I say I would? No.

  • @SomeDude0nline I wish you luck you arrogant little prick!

  • @SomeDude0nline I'm not being arrogant you fucking retard ...you put words in my mouth...I corrected you then told you of my capabilities. Tell me how I'm being arrogant you fucking dumbshit.

  • @SomeDude0nline Not to be negative but unless your a prodigy it will take much longer than a few months to achieve this level. It will take years of dedication. This piece is extremely difficult.

  • @KannabisChris Yeah I've noticed it is even more challenging than I expected, the chord shapes are ridiculous and the fast single notes have a huge gap that is a pain in the ass, and it will take a lot longer than I originally anticipated But this is the type of thing I'm good at, I have a really hard time counting beats in music but with the guitar I've always been ....idk most people I know say gifted but I know better..I'm very talented at the actual playing of fast complicated things.

  • @KannabisChris but yes now that I have the sheet music and am starting to learn it.......unless I am given a bunch of money and don't have to work over the summer allowing me time to practice often then it will take about a year but I would say no longer than two. Thank you for your input :)

  • @SomeDude0nline I don't think the video is on YT but look for Paco De Lucia's version on guitar. It's brilliant.

  • @Chulaan now that's more like it! Too flamenco for me to learn though lol definitely sounds closer to the way it's played on the piano though, thanks.

  • @SomeDude0nline take a look on Edgar Cruz version (search for Edgar Cruz Malagueña)

  • @badunzo thanks, I checked it out but it's not at all what I'm looking for and I don't recognize it as malaguena....it is very cool though.

  • Search for: Lecuona, Malaguena - Santòrsola Guitar Quartet in youtube and Jose Feliciano - Malaguena only

    best Malagueña played by guitars

  • bro several years not months i doing it in three years and im considerd a prodigy

  • @Mundi7500 Yeah idk what happened to my humbling comments lol but I said a couple months ago that I got some of it down and it would take a lot longer to get it down the way I want; however I pick things up very fast when I like them and they're in my style. If I had a piano and could practice for an hour a day 4-5 days a week I could have it down in under a year.....not perfect but pretty good.

  • My mother played it better. IMHO

    She put bounce in it instead of a stacado like hard note.

    RIP MEV

  • my brother knows how to play this!!!

  • fantastico,cualquiera no puede interpretar al genio lecuona.

    Vean la version de Bebo y chucho valdes de La Comparsa de Lecuona.Eso tambien esta genial

  • Makes the piano sound like a Spanish guitar. Great!

  • @apokkalyps

    Why don't you buy the music? It's inexpensive and easily available.

  • But seriously, can anyone help me figure out the what bass notes he is playing between 1:24-1:34? I have mostly figured out this song by ear but theres too much going on in the right hand at that part... It sounds like

    octave, octave, chord

    octave, octave, chord

    octave, octave, octave

    octave, octave, chord

  • @apokkalyps

    I don't have my notes currently available but I'm sure the right hand has only octaves, in that part.

    While the left hand, I really don't remember the notes but to put it in the way that you'll understand I'm pretty sure that its

    chord, single note, chord

    While in the last octaves (when he takes them higher) it is

    chord, single note, single note.

  • som1 post the tab plz!!!

  • The online music service SheetMusicPlus will have it as well as Amazon. The composer is Lecuona.

  • Where can I find the music score? Who is the composer?

  • @yenyenlim1 Composer: Ernesto Lecuona

  • oh my goodness!! I can't believe I found it!

    I heard my friend play this once before jazz band class started, and I was simply in awe, but I kept forgetting to ask him what the song was.

    This piece is just... jaw dropping.....

  • a masterpiece

  • Interpretacion sin igual, solo comparable con la orquesta de Mantovani.

  • Es una interpretacion sin igual, Lecuona es como todos los virtuosos, inigualables e incomparables. Tengan mi reconocimiento.

  • Bravissimo!!!

  • maravilloso, excelente. Mucha emocion. Very powerful with true virtuosity.

  • one of the best instrumentals.......ever. LOVE THE PASSION.

  • hermozo .genial.

  • OH GOD AND MY TEAHER WANTS ME TO LEARN THIS BY 10/24/10!??!!?!?

  • tooo fast, takes away the dramatic effect

  • I am learning this right now and it is a very intense piece! He does a good job though :)

  • holy shit 3:25 i loved how you used the base notes!

  • I love the part at 2:54

  • I love this piece and the pianist here is fantastic, but I would agree with others that it is not my favorite interpretation. Still, it was a very beautiful performance nonetheless. Bravo!

  • I like your touch, but 1:40 is a little soft for forte. A great song and performance though

  • Απορρώ ποιός μπορεί να έδωσε αρνητική ψήφο σε αυτήν την άριστη εκτέλεση ενός εξαίσιου κομματιού.... Τέλειο!!

  • Maestro Tirino at the piano gives us a fine performance of this masterpiece by Ernesto Lecuona. He's got the salt and zest for feeling the music of Spain although not the pianist nor the composer himself are Spaniards, but Cubans! As a matter of fact, all people born in Latin America start tapping their feet when Lecuona's 'Malagueña' is played. 'This is more than piano! I feel that 'Malagueña' is more melodic and beautiful than my own 'Bolero', exclaimed Maurice Ravel...

  • The best of the best! I love it!!

  • 0:10

  • soberbio....

    

  • I like this version very much. Too many times it seem Malaguaena is an excuise to pound the keys. This is a more delicate version which allows the listener to precieve more in the in the music. facinating.

  • No es pensar,pues los animales a su manera piensan,el hombre de Neanderthal pensaba,tambien a su manera.Tocar un piano como lo toca este maestro o disfrutar oyendolo es lo que nos hace humanos.

  • 0:10

  • Para que conoscan al autor cubano Ernesto lecuona ,lo maximo me encanta su musica .

  • Such beauty. Such power. Delicate yet emotional. I'm going to try and duplicate his style the next time i sit down at the piano. Yes, played w/ such love and compassion. LOVE IT. I can still hear it. BRAVO111111111111

  • Ernesto LECUONA (Guanabacoa , Cuba, 1895 - Islas Canarias , Spain, 1963)

  • This piano player, Tirino, gives an interpretation that it is slow. The Lecuona/Cuban spirit is for more passion. This interpretation is too slow and does not represent well the fiery and passion of Cuban art. Having said all that, I think that as a slow pace Tirino is a great piano player and I DID enjoy listening to this version. Actually listening to any Lecuona composition will always bringhappiness to my heart.

  • @kkesoj I love his changes of pace and touch. Cubans are not only passionate, there is a reflective introspection in this piece, and Tirino expresses that.

  • Comment removed

  • Since he first recorded the 3 CDs with all of Lecuona's music, I have been an avid fan. I am Cuban, and Tirino is glorious!!!!

    JC

  • 1 word...... WOW!

  • SOBERBIA INTERPRETACION !!!!!!!!!

  • Eu não me canso de ouvir... Você é mesmo uma pimenta, também é água, é mulher, é a literatura, é a menina do avesso, é Capitu, é Luizinha, é Mme Bovary, é Helena de Tróia, é Batsebat, é Sarah e Hagar e depois de ser tanta coisa para mim, você ainda consegue se dizer minha! Ah... vou gz

  • Eu estou prestando atenção pra não mandar os arquivos repetidos tá?

  • Any chance I can find the sheet music for this somewhere?

  • @badsalad313 - It's still under copyright, and guarded closely. It was published by Marks, which then got bought out by Belwin-Mills. Publishers have been bought out right and left; Alfred may have it in their catalogue now. But since this is one of the biggest-selling pieces of piano music in the twentieth century, you will have NO trouble finding it.

  • @MrRicksStudio - Ah wow, I wasn't aware that there was that much going on around this song... I found and bought the sheet music of one song, which I at first thought was this, but then realized it was slightly different (still learned it anyway haha), but I suppose I'll just have to dig a little deeper to find where I can buy this one. Thanks for the help, though

  • Lovely! He shows how beautiful Spanish music can be.

  • oh. my. god.

    That was amazing!

  • I'm working on this piece and I love it :)

  • @TheBlackLad OOH pwned.

  • "Can't we all get along?"......(this is fun to play!)

  • incredible!!!

  • Why is it that it took a Cuban to capture the spirit of Malaga?

  • @lucca54 Have you not noticed how incredible Cubans are when it comes to music?

  • @aguada21 Yes. Why is that? Is it like asking why the sky is blue? You know, Cuba and Puerto Rico were Spanish colonies for much longer than other latin american countries and maybe that is why Cubans felt Spanish music deeper?

  • @lucca54 There has been uninterrupted migration from Spain to Cuba from the early 1500s till the start of the revolution in 1959. Probably that's it.

    Plus, Lecuona grew up in a neighborhood that is pure music. I'm not surprise he could connect with the music when he lived in Spain.

  • Nice feeling on piano.. that's the differece among thousands of pianists.. nice nice nice !!

  • I like this song but prefer it in a Latin American version.

  • Wonderful performance!

  • Perfectly balanced on the cusp of pride and passion.

  • chills

  • You're Amazing! :)

  • This is wonderful. I hope this era returns one day. Jack Baker NYC

  • BRAVISIMO  !!!!!!!!

  • One of the many beautiful plays created by the great cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona.

  • Tirino did a magnificent CD set of all of Lecuona's piano works excepting the operettas and operas.

  • miles de comentarios y ningun malagueño a visto esto o ke???

  • Somehow, whenever I listen to this, I imagine someone, either in Spain, or, Mexico, riding a stallion; prancing, tossing his head. Soon, horse and rider are as one..Beautiful..!

  • holy crap!! what an awesome version. this guy kicks ass.

  • cool

  • ich liebe dich piece

  • great job, but i like it better on guitar, it's for the guitar

  • @wow1371 It was originally written for the piano, it just became a famous guitar piece by chance.

  • how come no mention of the pianist??

  • Look up to the right where it says subscribe.

  • @mvbart Ernesto Lecuona Malaguena from the Suite Andalucia

    Thomas Tirino, Pianist

  • It's in the upper r. hand corner insert, Thomas Tirino.

  • The Piano Each note of a piano, Evokes a different thought. Of rain drops or a passing tear, The ebb and flow of life The insurmountable and surmounted, The inevitable certainty, And finality of life. The beauty of human beings, Their wealth of emotion and talent. When intertwined and combined, Produce serenity. ~ Gerard Horgan
  • Beautiful!!!!!!!!

  • this is just fantastic. its quality is ineffable. tirino is unbelievable in all his technical and expressive ways and i actually enjoy the drama he injects by way of his physicality. i hope he tours sometime soon. i'm now working on the piece, myself, and when frustrated, i revisit this performance.

  • i love this.........amazing

  • dam it since i started college i cannot play the piano =(!!!!! really miss it

  • Ernesto Lecuona one of the best Piano man of history a Cuban artist

  • A masterpiece that turned into a guitar classic =]

  • Does anyone know what's the scale he plays at 00:53 please?

  • It's your standard c# minor scales with variations :)
