(How to Play) Franz Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (Lassan Only) on Piano (50%)

[petercourt]

Thanks very much for this! Would it be possible to have the lassan part at 30%? Thanks!

The chord you play at 1:58 is wrong. The key E should not be p. Stopped at 2:00

@ImmortalSpecies Because of one, ONE wrong chord you couldn't bear to watch the rest of the video? One wrong chord blemished the hundreds of other notes and chords in the video? Someone's over-reacting...

[ImmortalSpecies]

@calebnfung Don't forget this's a tutorial, the idea is to learn the notes - not to enjoy high class music.

1:49 further mistake. The point is if you are learning through a "how to play" then you rather have the notes right.

Btw can play this piece now :)

@ImmortalSpecies That doesn't change the fact that there are hundreds of correct notes and chords compared to two incorrect chords. If you yourself know that there is a mistake, then why bother complaining? You know that that's a mistake, so you can just mentally correct that when you learn and play the piece. And the point of learning the notes is so you can play and listen to the high-class music yourself. It's not like he can do anything to change it now, so why stop in disgust mid-piece?

[calebnfung]

@ImmortalSpecies You're assuming that the two wrong notes outweigh the huge multitude of all the other notes. Sure, about 0.1% of it is misleading, but every tutorial in existence is misleading in someway. Heck, it's misleading because it's played at 50% of the original speed. And if you didn't 'stop in disgust', then why did you coincidentally stop immediately after the second mistake? See next comment...

[calebnfung]

@ImmortalSpecies disgust = impatient irritation: a feeling of impatient irritation according to my Encarta dictionary. It is clear that you stopped because of the two mistakes, because you stopped two seconds after the second one. I still don't know what you mean by 'the key e should not be p'. Do you mean it should be natural and not flat? If you're going to 'constructively notify', you could at least make your notification clear enough to understand without any ambiguity.

[calebnfung]

@ImmortalSpecies I can discern that you are complaining mainly because you stopped the video so soon. If you really wanted to help everyone by 'constructively notifying' them of the incorrect notes, then why didn't you watch the rest of the video to spot any further mistakes? You could've helped a whole lot more by watching the rest of the video, rather than raging and stopping the video. If you weren't disgusted, then explain why you stopped the video two seconds after the second mistake.

[calebnfung]

@ImmortalSpecies Elaborating on that point, if your stoppage of the video was unrelated to those mistakes, then why did you mention it at all? If you stopped because of some other reason, then that is of no relevance to the rest of your comment, yet you still decided to mention it? There's a clear relationship between the mistakes and you quitting the video, otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it.

[calebnfung]

@ImmortalSpecies And of course you can 'constructively notify' everyone about the mistake, but that is certainly not the way to go about it. Firstly, you should at least phrase it so there is no doubt about what the mistake actually is, as I touched on earlier on. Secondly, you should watch the rest of the video to spot any further mistakes to further benefit everyone else, as I said before, rather than simply quitting the video in disgust. That doesn't help anyone.

[calebnfung]

@ImmortalSpecies You also could've been specific about the 'further mistake at 1:49'. Again, simply saying 'there is a mistake' doesn't help anyone, you should specify what the actual mistake is. You yourself said that you can now play this piece, so assuming that you learned the piece from this tutorial, obviously those two wrong notes didn't hinder your ability to play the piece. Let's assume the trend continues, and there are two wrong notes every two minutes.

[calebnfung]

@ImmortalSpecies You'd only have about ten wrong notes in the entire piece, which is a great ratio considering there must be thousands of notes in the entire piece. Again, if you're going to indicate the presence of wrong notes, at the very least specify exactly what the wrong note is, and then what the correct note is. Complain=express unhappiness: to express discontent or unhappiness about a situation. In your original post, you said you stopped two seconds after the second mistake.

[calebnfung]

@ImmortalSpecies That strongly implies unhappiness, because you couldn't bear to watch any more of the video. And don't forget, the claim that those were wrong notes is completely and wholly unverified. Even though that may be correct, the general viewers of this video aren't necessarily going to trust some random over the internet. Many wouldn't trust the claim, many more wouldn't even care. 'Constructively notifying' isn't as helpful as you may think.
