Liszt: Liebestraum No. 3, Notturno (Barenboim)

[monosplanet]

I'm 112 years old and I listen to this.

[Mw3949]

This is fantastic!!

[PSNArsenalunt]

500 years from now. Beethoven,Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi, Chopin, Brahms, Liszt( there are many great composers back then that i just cant remember) will be EVEN GREATER. Because their music is actually music. Not like the current music. Its all thrash. Please give me links to try to change my mind about the current music. I/ll gladly hear what you believe to be music.

[SoulPoiesis]

Absolutely exquisite. Thankyou for posting

[jhdietz91]

I just want to say thank you for taking the time to put the music and score together and posting it

[SarahPascoe]

wow

[damiancho15]

the espectral music, the minimalism,el neobarroco, el neoclasisismo, el neoromaticismo, el atonalismo,the electroacustic music, there are so many kind of modern academic("classic") music, and a lot of genius, and i just see people thinking there are not good compousers, thinking jus bach mozart and beethoven were great, wath about zipolli talkin about barroc music, what about cherubini in the classic period, and now no one knows about the new compouser and the new music. i invite you to seach!!!

[TheChopin37]

Quando si ascolta questo magnifico brano bisogna solo lasciarsi trasportare dalla bellezza e dall'amore che esso invoca. Grazie per averlo caricato e grazie Barenboim per l'interpretazione.

[MrThemike14]

It's not likely, but one day, I want to be one of the people who recreates the brilliance of classical music. I want to give birth to the style again!

[apeapeja]

^_^

[ForsakenRainMan527]

It's so sweet.....

[megsXoXoXo]

It makes me sad how so few people appreciate beautiful music like this.

Instead, people obsess over Justin Beiber and Ke$sha.

[Ferbbie]

I think I am suffering from lisztomania

[WeelYoung]

huh? How about using right hand?

[maximevaysse]

How the hell can you play C/G bass in the second bar at 00:51 with a normal left hand ?

[jamison94816]

@maximevaysse All you do is roll the chord, if you can't reach it. that's what i do when I play that chord

[XaeRea]

Fazıl SAY is a great composer

[moviemagic233]

This makes you want you to cry!

[BAGD90]

Cant believe how music is actually ending

[MrFullyawesome]

i really do not like this interpretation

[The7thsonof7thson]

2:41 - absolutely stunning, I have to try to play that!

[SanDhampir]

this was on the japanese movie Strange Circus :D

[jordanforever21]

Where are our modern day composers? Or maybe 500 years from now someone in 2511 will mention them?

[alxalx1994]

@jordanforever21 Arvo Pärt? And there are some other composers - there are just too many of them, we cannot love them all!

[damiancho15]

@alxalx1994 exaclty!!!!



[cranez006]

@jordanforever21 They will still be playing this 500 years from now, and wondering what the hell happened to music in the 20th and 21st centuries.

[jordanforever21]

@cranez006 You're definetly right about that!



[StahlCalc]

@jordanforever21 You don't hear about composers until they're dead, which is the sad truth. Check out Guillaume Connesson and Nikolai Girshevich Kapustin, both still living and both amazing composers.

[FollowToChange]

jordanforever21 you mean that there are no great composers now? It's very possible that you are wrong, we do have amazing modern composers this century, but i'm afraid that maybe, you wouldnt like their music. The people in the days of great composers also didn't appreciate the progressive music these composers wrote (e.g. the fifth symphony of von beethoven). Modern composers are Penderecki, Ligeti etc., their music's very progressive, but celebrated by a small group and prob the people of 2511

[Keablerthegreat]

@FollowToChange It's not just that, you have to take into consideration that everything we play from the classical realm is widely played now because there are not need for royalties because the copyright is expired. Basically meaning that a professional orchestra can make a profit. Otherwise, ALL performance monies would bypass the performers & conductors and go straight to the composers.

[stevemaster247]

@FollowToChange you are very wrong...for instance specifically liszt was like the michael jackson of his time...people would fill the places he played and went crazy over a handkerchief or a glove...

[FollowToChange]

@stevemaster247 yes, there were composers who were loved in their days! But for instance the example I gave was right. When the fifth symphony of beethoven went in premiere it didn't have success at all and now it's widely celebrated. People were like: "what the hell is this,so weird!". There are lots and lots of other pieces like that. Most composers only have success and appreciation when they die. Vivaldi then again, did have success when he was alive, so there are composers of that kind to.

[stevemaster247]

@FollowToChange yes of course! about vivaldi..i have heard that he was poor in his times and composed for the rich...do you think this is true??

[underoath627]

@FollowToChange Beethoven's 5th was recognized as great during his time. His first performance of it was not great due to the orchestra, but when it was performed again latter, it brought in great reviews. He rearranged the motif from prometheus for the 5th. Most of the composers from the classical era did have success in their life time, or they would not have been allowed to keep writing for the court/noble/church same with baroque. Romantic era was slightly different as Beethoven changed all

[DJBustOficial]

@FollowToChange in 2511 maybe the" classical" compositions will be not for the piano, but probably for electric guitars, basses, and those recent instruments...

[Nutterbutterz95]

@jordanforever21 The 20th Century's great composers are easy enough to ascertain but it's hard for me to think of any late 20th or 21st Century composer...

[volglizolic]

@jordanforever21 @FollowToChange if you want to know a modern composer search miika153 or someone like him, how about thepianoguys?

[Dan474834]

@jordanforever21 I don't really know of any truly monumental composers that are still living today. The last one was Stravinsky, and he died in the 70's.

[GStreet838]

@jordanforever21 exactly what will happen,

[PSNArsenalunt]

@jordanforever21 they are busy making shit music like techno, rap, and generic trash. and if you mean classical genre then give me a link :] i would like to hear how our classical era will be like ( im not being sarcastic)

[damiancho15]

@jordanforever21 there are many like: Philip Glass, Hans Werner Henze, Luciano Berio, Frederic Rzewski...it is just the comercial trash that make trash people famous which blind us.....you can search: contemporary academic music... listen schonberg its really cool

[PSNArsenalunt]

@damiancho15 I went searching everywhere to find these modern composers and they are nothing, not even close in comparison to Beethoven or Chopin. You can really and easily tell the difference between a generic composer like these that you listed and the genius composers like Liszt, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, to name a few. Maybe to you these modern guys seem great composers but im sorry to say maybe you should learn more about music.

[damiancho15]

@PSNArsenalunt its different music it´s not tonal fuctional music,schoenberg its a great musician, i dont like to do comparations because its different.diferent context diferent time.stravinky a wonderful compouser shostakovich.like chopin in hes time.im a musician, a student of composition and i now who does good jobs.luciano berio its a genius because the quiality of hes works i think you need to open your mind to the new techincs to the new sounds and dont compare who was better just enjoy it

[PSNDemonwing]

@damiancho15 and thats exactly whats wrong with our era of music. People like you

[ThoughtsofaPerson]

@PSNArsenalunt "Learn more about music"? What a pompous, high-minded statement. Contemporary music is promoted and composed primarily at music schools, not by "uneducated dudes". The fact that you can't differentiate between Glass, Henze, Berio, Schoenberg and Rzewski is utterly laughable. Train your ears more.

Also, Glass is trash.

[jordanforever21]

@PSNArsenalunt I also tried to listen to some of the modern composers mentioned and their music sounds mediocre in comparison to the great composers of the past. Maybe I can get my head cryogenically frozen when I die and I can have them wake me up in the year 2512 so that I can say: Yeah, they still suck, give me some Liszt!!!

[musjaaa]

@jordanforever21 no they will still mention the REAL composers, a kind that is extincted now

[Urisihapai]

@jordanforever21 I'm a composer :D

[masterasia13]

@jordanforever21 Not likely... -_- But these composers like mozart, beethoven and liszt will be still mentioned unlike justin bieber -_-

[kelsiegirl19]

@jordanforever21 Definetely, they will talk about the shock value they produced, the money they made, and the size of their fanbase.

[Rachmaninoffkid]

@jordanforever21 2512.

[1961beethoven]

@jordanforever21 I tell you right now where they are: They are watching TV and writting their stupid opinions in the interenet about their idols and gossip; forget about 500 years from now: RIGHT now, we are recycling the past glories because we are more interested in crap electronics, drugs and cheap thrills than in any sort of creativity. We have A LOT of choices; those great composers had no choice but to create their own entertainment.

[kasplars]

@jordanforever21 Go search for Rihana or someone else... If you asked about modern classic music, go search for: Something thats sounds like me peeing or playing absolutely false!

[krackenzap]

@jordanforever21 Hans Zimmer. :D

[stevemaster247]

best version out there...congratulations to daniel..!

[MsAnnestube]

such a familiar melody from my youth in the 50"s and still so relaxing familiar......dosing off

[cranez006]

Question for the piano experts- How should the sustain pedal be used for the 2nd cadenza? Should it just be done by ear, or would you add more than normal, due to the "fantasy" aspect of that section?

[adamobarca]

i don't know if you guys realize this but pianoplayer002's videos are so beautiful because the recording he chooses is almost always the best. it's so crystal clear...

[MozartK365]

I am 400th person to like this...simply beautiful. I think I listened too much to Chopin...

[MrFerminleon]

Liebesträume (German for Dreams of Love, singular Liebestraum), is a set of three solo piano works (S/G541) by Franz Liszt, published in 1850. Often, the term Liebestraum refers specifically to No. 3, the most famous of the three. Originally the three Liebesträume (notturni) were conceived as songs after poems by Ludwig Uhland and Ferdinand Freiligrath. In 1850 two versions appeared simultaneously as a set of songs for high voice and piano, and as transcriptions for piano two-hands.

[metaljunkie82]

So beautiful! it made me cry :')

[trinidadify]

how to get the scores?



[Pianoplayer002]

@trinidadify You can google IMSLP, it's the site I use, it has tons of scores in the public domain

[trinidadify]

@Pianoplayer002 thanks for your answer



[UnScriptedFlix]

@Pianoplayer002 I will second that

[hellboyreloaded]

@TheWeddingLover WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!

[ASAngelo]

magic ...

[HangVu95]

Perfecta interpretacion... Me encanta

[INTILLEKMUSIC]

@thetickelmonster12 Thanks, I didn't know that, I should have continued theory beyond grade 4.



[cappko]

very easy to play, but on the other hand, VERY BEAUTIFUL!!! I had a great success with it too :)

[apeapeja]

^_^

[nocturnalpianist]

What are the notes at 2:40-2:53 called?

[PhillyB702]

@nocturnalpianist ornaments?

[tomasitok2]

@nocturnalpianist "Fioriture"

[nocturnalpianist]

@tomasitok2

Thank you!

[INTILLEKMUSIC]

@nocturnalpianist I think they're called grace notes, and also appear 1:14 to 1:24, but given that there is no principal note, it may be called otherwise. A grace note I think is an indication to the pianist to play as quickly as possible or in the style that they would like. Again, I'm not quite certain.

[HemingwayPiano]

i can't have words for this....it doesen't exist words for this....just feelings....

[XxXxXxKOFOLAxXxXxX]

this is how real music sound like

[superhooyooman]

MASTERPIECE!

[PSNDemonwing]

best performance i ve heard

[PSNDemonwing]

At minute 2:30 when the song reaches a climax. WHY DIDNT LISZT WRITE A G OCTAVE AFTER THE F OCTAVE???!!! in my opinion it would have sounded much better

[trucurimagice]

@PSNDemonwing keep your opinion for yourself, please. this piece is just fabulous. if you don't like it , kill yourself and go to talk to liszt, in person!

[PSNDemonwing]

@trucurimagice climax ruined. he build it up and could have done better

[fishbonegroove]

@PSNDemonwing Because the F makes a 9th with the Eb on bass, which creates more tension, drama and dissonance than a G would have. You need a dissonant dominant chord here, which will eventually resolve with the return of the theme in the key of Ab after the cadenza.

[PSNDemonwing]

@fishbonegroove i dnt see An Eb with th F octave. I see another F.

[erinl400]

can someone talk to me about how i can learn this

[AfroProductionz]

@erinl400 you buy the sheet music, then you put it on the piano and you sit down and start reading the music.

[Paulland30]

Really i dont like this performance.

[michaelnyman1]

He is a performer... all that I see on the scores, he makes everything, the melody is very very good, with very good direction, and the other notes are played like company, thats very very good...

[boglarkamuveszno]

Wonderful! 

[iXzerty]

I just keep listening to this, never get enough of it. THIS is music!

[fledgehog]

2:22 -- LOVE the added Bb0

[wibi1997]

Do you have the sheets for real, because I really want the sheets!

Please let me know!

[random676]

i wish my dreams of love had this accompanying them.

[azncommie97]

Those 3 people are simply jealous of true badassery in skill. I myself can just play the first half

[chobo11]

is it just me, or is this piano slightly out of tune?

[VCube100]

3 fat people sat on the dislike button

[wukillah]

Im not such a great fan of Barenboim (as a pianst only, Im a fan of the man and what he stands for), but I must recognize that I never heard a better version of Liebestraum, even from the greatests.

[hellboyreloaded]

Which hand played the bass note  at 2:41? It looks impossible.

[Pianoplayer002]

@hellboyreloaded I don't see any unreachable bass notes at that time. Sure you got it right?

[hellboyreloaded]

@Pianoplayer002 yes while he does the diminuendo part, just at the start , it's supossed to be played with both hands, but there is a really bass and deep note starting the measure, aprox. at the 3rd note.

PS: Sorry for my english.

[backyardjuggler]

@Pianoplayer002 I think I know what he's talking about - it sounds like the chord that precedes the measure with the (incredible) run in it sounds again in the middle of the run. It's probably some oddity of the recording being married to the changing of the page in your video?

Thoughts?

By the way, please know I am not being critical of this wonderful work you are doing with your channel. I love how you do this. Thanks!

[kimattbort]

@Pianoplayer002 you can hear a low bass note right at the start of the run

[bb0ysmiley]

@Pianoplayer002 Couldn't fin it either.

[COCOONFABULA]

@Pianoplayer002 It actually does seem to me like a bass Eb is played during that cadenza, weird

[juvenile143]

@hellboyreloaded Practice makes possible!

[bejamillion2]

@hellboyreloaded I heard it O.o I think its impossible, however, he couldve gotten anyone to press that key in the right timing for him

[hellboyreloaded]

@bejamillion2 LOL,i thought the same,now that's cheating xDDD

[Pianoplayer002]

@hellboyreloaded @backyardjuggler It's just a guess, but it could be due to some clumsy editing when this was recorded, ie e two different takes were glued together around that point and the last one happened to have a louder sounding bass note that stays longer in the pedal of that take, if you get what I mean

[hellboyreloaded]

@Pianoplayer002 i know what you are talking about, it's supposed that in the other try he played louder that note, but it seems to me that the bass note starts at 2:41 , it doesn't sound cut, it sounds like in that moment someone (if not barenboim, in a way i will never be able to explain) pressed that note, now, i guess we will never know the truth about that note ;-(! If i ever get to see Mr. Barenboim, i'll ask him xDD: Mr Barenboim, do you have a left hand that covers a 42th?? xDDD

[MartinVanBoven]

@hellboyreloaded: I'm not sure which note you mean, but I am sure it was played by the left hand. And there are no impossible notes in this piece :).

[hellboyreloaded]

@MartinVanBoven I don't say that is "impossible" because "it's too difficult,but not unreachable", i said it was imposible because it really is IMPOSlBLE to play that lower note,( i think is the first g at the left of the keyboard), and play a note that is 42 keys from the note at the same time, it doesn't make sense to me.

[BOGDAN1989KLASS]

@hellboyreloaded the left one lol

[hellboyreloaded]

@BOGDAN1989KLASS no.

[BOGDAN1989KLASS]

@hellboyreloaded u think the right?

[hellboyreloaded]

@BOGDAN1989KLASS before your comment, there was a list of comments with the possible explanation, it must be a mistake from the recording, or another person could press it (yes, that could be too), because it's impossible to play the lowest g on the keyboard and a key that is 42 keys away from that g.

[BOGDAN1989KLASS]

@hellboyreloaded ... ;p

[Laudan08]

@hellboyreloaded That's a tenth. 5-key chords are not rare. Even Chopin tortures us with a 6-key chord at his Opus 10-4, and Hamelin plays in a piece 8 notes. It looks like a piece of shit in the score XD!

[hellboyreloaded]

@Laudan08 a tenth is nothing, i know people that can reach 12 notes with one hand, i can easily reach 11, but what it means, is, that when you do the cadenza YOU NEED to play it with both hands, with one hand is impossible, or if it's possible it would sound horrible, so, if the two hands are playing the cadenza, then... Wich hand plays the Lowest G on the keyboard at the same time?

[Laudan08]

@hellboyreloaded Sorry man. I just looked at it again and it's an eighth chord. Yeah, most people have hands ranging to a tenth, maybe more. If you mean the bass D# at the cadenza, i have to tell you that Baremboin starts the chromatic scales with his right hand, then the left comes.

[hellboyreloaded]

@Laudan08 Now that i hear it, he starts the first notes of the cadenza slow, so, it could be possible what you are saying, it seems to me a little too hard, but it's Barenboim.

[WalkIntoGlassDoors]

@hellboyreloaded The left hand maybe?

[madmaxnyc]

@hellboyreloaded You are right, to my ears, it sounds like it's from splicing two separate takes right after the start of the run and the bass doesn't match, so it sounds like it was struck again.

[dezxdestruction]

@hellboyreloaded Oh I heard it, but it wasn't written on the Sheet. Interesting.  It does look impossible, unless it was the remnants of the pedal.

[TripleRhu]

@hellboyreloaded its just a bad audio transaction

[Steinwaytoday]

@hellboyreloaded yeah, I heard it too... it's not in the score, but baremboim's recordings are unfortunately infamous for being not only edited, but also very poorly edited... I guess that was an editing mistake, because that note's not supposed to be there.

[chengwanho]

@hellboyreloaded just practice , i have practiced for a week

.....

[hellboyreloaded]

@chengwanho hmm yeah ok... i don't think you really know what i am talking about.

[ShinichiKudou2008]

@hellboyreloaded It's just a 7th between the bass and the treble note, (seems to be), well, not that impossible to play.

[Rosova3]

@hellboyreloaded there is no note in bass at that time. Are you sure about the timing?

[Rosova3]

@hellboyreloaded I know, there you can hear some bass note, but it is Es from the beginning of the run, you don´t change pedal in this run for very long time, that is the reason why you hear a bass note

[orlando0404]

this song turns me on!

[dawgs770]

Wow. One of the best renditions i've ever heard of this piece. Such sad emotion where it needs to be, and glorious joy in others; exactly where each should be. Well done.

[dantevip]

I have weeks listening this barenboim' work and I could say it's way better than any others' , especially in the coda part, sounds very pompous and exciting ! fine musically structured and passionated.

[dipscipst]

horowitz disliked this 3 times

[lisilisin]

Another great Liebestraum n.3 is the one played by Alicia de larrocha. I hardly recomend it!!!!

You can find it in You Tube: "Liebestraum (No. 3) - Alicia de Larrocha, Hispavox, Late 1950s / Early 1960s - Liszt"

[brandonok14]

@lisilisin No, no, you don't "hardly" recommend it. If you hardly recommend it, it means you don't like it. You highly recommend it is how you would say in English. And yes, the late Alicia de Larrocha made many great recordings.

[lisilisin]

@brandonok14 You are right. I meaned "Heartily" or "Highly". I made a big mistake!!!!

[raiga1324]

I listened to this fully for the first time.

I actually wanted to cry. :)

[musiemo]

Great playing!

I've had the sheetmusic for about 2 years and can I play it?

I honestly wish.

[beastlypianoplayer1]

hehe

[Eytchkay]

@Blackwhite2277 you can find the piano sheet free on the internet

[007captainobvious]

This is really masterful - enjoyed every minute. But Evgeny Kissin owns this piece!

[ferddiemercury]

have you heard Balazs Szokolay´s one?

[DIGIMONJK]

1 out of 55 people have very tremulous hands and accidently clicked dislike.

[DarknessL12]

The first part is so difficult .You play the main notes with the left hand and one finger from the right hands sometimes plays other main notes ...SOLO one finger .It likes Oh my God ~! It's so much diffirent with the lessons I've learned before ...Listz is a beast ~! Sorry for my English ~

[hellothereimasian]

@DarknessL12 as long as you practice it youll have it down. ive played the piano with no lessons for about 10 months now, and im at the middle section past the first cadenza :). good luck to you.

[Eytchkay]

@DarknessL12 In fact, it is not that difficult (for having been playing it myself). It the more efficient way of playing to make the melody spring out from the arpeges.

(excuse my poor English too). Well, I agree on one point : Liszt is definitely a master.

This first part requires a bit of training but once you get it, it's yours. Not a big deal, seriously :) Insist on the C's (do/ut).

[DarknessL12]

@Eytchkay Thanks , hah now i've done this piece ....But I think the most difficult part is 2:40 to 2:50 :) .The whole piece I practiced about 2,5 weeks ,but that part 10 seconds taked me 1 week ..Haha I need to practice more

[carenlorena1]

This is one of my favorite pieces...I've tried to play this, but I never realized how difficult it was (I haven't play piano for some # of years now)...but thanks for this vid
