Liszt's 'Hungarian Rhapsody No.6 in D-Flat Major' Audio + Sheet Music

[Ferbbie]

For some reason I feel like the appropriate end to this piece would be for the piano to explode.

[LisaSpringfield]

Isn't this in E-flat major? Cos D-flat doesn't exist...?

[tomekkobialka]

@LisaSpringfield Yeah, sorry you're right, I made a mistake in the video title. Thanks for correcting me.

[luno96]

@LisaSpringfield What do you mean D-flat doesn't exist? 5 flats is D-flat major. E-flat is three flats, right?

[tomekkobialka]

@luno96 Looks like Lisa Simpson never played the D-flat major scale on her saxophone. *rolls eyes*

@Lisa If you start from C, and go down one fifth, the major key of that note (F) will have one flat in it. Hence F major has one flat. If you keep going you will eventually get to D-flat, which has 5 flats. You could even go down to F-flat major, which has 8 flats. O_o

For sharps, you start at C then go UP a fifth, then add a sharp.

And don't ask me about minor keys, I'm out of space. :(

[luno96]

@tomekkobialka Next, I think we should explain the uses of the tonic, the sub dominant and the dominant when composing music :)

I could talk about music forever! I just love it! :D

[tomekkobialka]

@mdc396 Yes it is...Fb major???

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

@mdc396 The 2nd version of la campanella is written in A flat minor, although that means 7 #

[teddypist]

I loved it from 4:16 to the end and what a perfect ending. I totally loved the song

[MrLieblingsessen]

Did he change up the little part around 5:21 - 5:25? It looks like went went up again to a hiher octave.

[cerzule]

I wonder why Liszt changed keys from D-flat major to C-sharp major at 1:28 ... it makes no difference.

[emopz13]

@cerzule Maybe he wanted to mark the two different parts. The arpeggio cadenza (were Cziffra destroys the piano) is some kind of a transition between the parts.

[Lisztman88]

Totally unnecessary at 1:23.

[lemontreelover]

did he just break the piano?? 1:20

[2hyeok]

so it starts as d-flat major then into c-sharp major then b-blat minor then b-flat major yes?

[2hyeok]

@2hyeok not c-shapr f-sharp

[tomekkobialka]

@2hyeok No, you were right the first time, it's C-sharp major.

[piano9977]

meant to put *considering

[koreanjeenyus]

Did they have to build a special piano for cziffra so it wouldn't set on fire? This piece suits cziffra~~

[FlyingBlackAndWhite]

cziffra is DA MAN

[JohnRift]

Liszt keeps on putting double notes larger than octaves.

[JohnRift]

it looks really hard to play.

[N0tturno]

Cziffra <3

[Starbirdy9999]

Does anyone know any good Hungarian pieces (like this one) that sound Hungarian (again, like this one) that are maybe level 7 or 8?

[FranzLisztian]

@Starbirdy9999

Hungarian Rhapsody 19 is quite easy, the friska as well.

[tomekkobialka]

@FranzLisztian

Hungarian Rhapsody 19 is still technically quite difficult but it's very easy musically ie. it's very easy to listen to it, especially the friska.

I think Hungarian Rhapsody 3 is quite easy; it's nice and short. But this Hung. Rhap. ( no.6) is also quite easy, the only difficult bit is the ending and the bit between 3:57 and 4:11

[piano9977]

@Starbirdy9999 Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (Liszt) Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1 (Liszt) Coinsiderin the fact that Liszt was Hunagarian, a lot of his works have this "Hungarian effect"

[Starbirdy9999]

@thespleenenator Takes a lot of wrist motion.

[Starbirdy9999]

Pure Hungarian.

[mdeonx16]

Cziffra's body is inhabited by Liszt's spirit, I swear this is the only explanation!

[Kapomafioso]

I LOVE the deep B-B octave at 5:25 ...it's one of my favourite moments of Cziffra's interpretation of this piece...I think it's lowest b octave...

And another favourite part - from 5:55 when every second B octave is the lowest I love the style he's beating this octave! So powerful...

[Kapomafioso]

OH-MY-GOD, what happened from 1:23 to 1:25 ? like disaster :)

good interpretation though

[tomekkobialka]

@Kapomafioso

Apparently, he played that passage so fast that by the end of the passage his fingers turned briefly into steel.

[maydengarNSBHS]

@Kapomafioso

i've never ever heard a piano sound like that before o-o

[maydengarNSBHS]

@Kapomafioso

oh my god it happened again at 5:24

[HandyTheXxxX]

@Kapomafioso It's likely that he played dual octaves in both hands during the end of that pentatonic passage in order to really "hammer it" down.

[Laudan08]

@Kapomafioso The piano succumbed to Cziffra´s strength. The rest of the piece was made on a stronger one. RIP

[Torpensann]

@Kapomafioso the sheets says ff ??

[AmericanCars101]

if I belived in reincarnation ( which I don't ) i would probably say this was liszt.

[kastlesucks]

Nice, Have not heard this performance before.
