Rossini Dance Audio + Sheet Music (Hamelin Transcription)

[1854Sherlock]

I dislike this transcription. Liszt's version is much better. Much better.

@1854Sherlock

Check out the studio version for a better presentation, that one's much cleaner and more musical.

Having that said, I don't believe this is a valid comparison at all.

Liszt's was pretty much that - a transcription. The voice and the piano part all played by the pianist, but essentially the same thing.

This is a creative rearragement, with alternate harmonies, textures, and variations.

If you are eager to calculate the like/dislike ration, mathematically you are about to get 27/0=OH-SHI-------- (Time Paradox)

Hamelin knows how to divide by zero -- that's why his technique is so astounding.

Wonderful, Thanks very much, I wanted to listen to this song but never found a decent video...!

ByeBye, Cristina.

[TripleRhu]

hamelin vs cziffra!

[s1earle]

@TripleRhu As good as Cziffra was both as transcriber and player, I have noticed that during the demanding and fast passages I dislike his heavy sound (call it banging the keys...). Hamelin does not have this affliction.

[OrangeSodaKing]

That was amazing, but that was really LIVE?!?!?!?

[twooffour]

@OrangeSodaKing

Yea, the studio version is much cleaner ;)

[mikatsuki10]

these "cluster-like"chords (2:55-3:06) seems as if right-hand is dancing.

[twooffour]

@mikatsuki10

They're tonal chords, not clusters. Having that said, they sound a bit more like clusters here, because he makes mistakes in the live performance ;)

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

is this Hamelin's playing?

[wborgstro]

Beyond human. No words to explain the power, the perfection, the talent, and the joy of seeing and hearing such a genius performance.

Bravo, Hamlin.

[MEpianist]

Much more musical than the Liszt transcription.

[pianist7137]

Did Cziffra make an arrangement of this piece? o.o

[tomekkobialka]

Cziffra did make an arrangement. I have the sheet music but not the audio :(

[pianist7137]

Is the score that you have accurate? I have the original score by Cziffra foundation and it has so many wrong notes just like the Sabre Dance and Willian Tell.

[tomekkobialka]

Guess what? I've also got the Cziffra Foundation score. (so it isn't accurate) But when you mean accurate, do you mean that there is a more accurate score of this piece?

[pianist7137]

Actually that's what I'm trying to find out. I think the publishers can do a better job. I wonder where all those funny notes come from.. Cziffra couldn't have written those right?

[foo0815]

I believe those Cziffra transcription were transcribed literally from piano rolls or something like this, which Cziffra had recorded. So, all "mistakes" and funny notes were preserved.

[lchigoe]

@pianist7137

Where'd you get the score for this? :/, because i want to learn this.

[Egide0]

No, this is Hamelin himself! Just genius.

[felix0911176727]

Do you have Cziffra's verson??

[EtrofOnaip]

Wonderful - Thanks very much, BytheWay, where and How did you get this score ??
