  • Eres un crack

  • i like sound of ur piano. :)

  • cool!

    

  • Nicee :) I can play it too, but my hands are too small..:(

    I can see that you are a chinese with a beard :p

  • just incredible, im really impressed with your playing, congratulations!

  • in my opinion, is a very good interpretation :D

  • Wauu que buena interpretacion ...

  • happened to me, listening to music is wonderful, but see with your eyes the sound is even more wonderful

  • @trinidadify better said, heard by your years, or soul, @jonhing ur playn it too robotic, practice more and then post it! :)

  • @BassicStorm Absolutely wrong, his playing is spot on here. This is exactly how Liszt intended it to be played. 1:52 on is just beautiful.

  • @Dan474834 cant agree ;s

  • Wunderbar!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I congratulate you play well :)

  • you let me fall in love again.... aw sweet...

  • Dude you make it look so easy!! I'm inspired to learn this piece!!

  • I'm not hearing any melody on this. It's probably the camera, but all I'm hearing is the background in the right hand.

  • @Sappyspartan then it's your speakers or your ears...

  • bravo

  • now one of my favorite pieces

  • I love that most of the pieces you play are coincidentally my favorites. ^_^

  • Please do this piece in a professional recording studio You're to good for a crappy camera like that, you deserve more!

  • you are freaking amazing

  • j'aimerais tellement savoir le jouer je trime dessus mais n'y arrive pas

  • Absolutely wonderful!!!  So beautifully played!!

  • One of my favorites too! I'm looking to buy a real piano to replace my (one octave short), yamaha keyboard. Do you have any brand/type recommendations? Thanks in advance for your help!

  • @cmfox3 It all depends on whether you are just learning or you can play already. my baldwin sounds great if you are just starting, pretty cheap too! it's not the best looking piano out there, more of a work horse in the industry. Yamaha's are over rated and i don't think they sound that great. if you can play, and you have the money go buy yourself a model d concert grand steinway!

  • @alusapoopoo - I can play, but not nearly well enough to warrant a Steinway, yet. I've been looking at real pianos, and I guess I'd rather have a digital one that will never need tuning. But I haven't found a digital piano yet that has the feel of a real piano, so I guess I'll have to compromise one way or the other. Thanks for your comments.

  • @cmfox3 I know I shouldn't butt-in but I am guessing your one octave short keyboard is a digital piano...(?). If I was you I would still stick with a Yamaha piano. A real paino when tuned sounds great even if it is by a diferent manufacture(unless your ears are picky). I also dig Baldwins, Steinways, and Kohler. But if you are wanting to know about what digital 88 keys to get---I'm alot better with that...

  • @reyjll - I'm on the fence between real and digital. I have been unable to find a digital piano that has the feel of a real one, but I don't want to be bothered with paying someone to tune a real piano; and that could be a problem since I'm spending an average of 25 hours a week practicing. But, I'm not good enough to spend a fortune on a piano real or digital. For me, practice makes "better" (lol). Any digital piano suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • @cmfox3 I've found the action on the more pricey Roland DPs to feel more natural than the Yamaha DPs (minus the AvantGrand line perhaps, but those are ~$20k!) I haven't played any Kawai digitals however. I suggest looking at the Piano World forums

  • @studiolabs - Thanks. I'll check out Roland and the Piano World forums.

  • @cmfox3 Here is the thing... From my trial with the digital pianos I find it hard to get that satisfying sound of a real one. For example I had a Yamaha portable digital piano that went for about $1200, but I was not content with the sound and how the notes flowed together---it even had more features but that was not my beef. My beef was that alot of the digitals sound toyish. I returned it for a cheaper one with less polyphony but it had the sound I was lookin for. FYI: It's an upright piano.

  • @cmfox3 And if you want to know the digital piano I play, it is called a Yamaha YDP13. They are upright pianos. But from my long experience playing on these things I feel you won't be disapointed. However if you got the cash they have other digital pianos, but they can get real expensive---I would want one if I had the funds. If you are still having issues on picking one out shoot me a reply. Here is a tip: don't buy pianos from the internet unless you are sure you know what it sounds like.

  • Your first cadenza is veryy sloww, without any emotion, the first and the second part are in a great time, but you have to take care abput your rubatos... Good work.

  • great!!! I have some questions:

    how long did it take to learn this piece. What grade is it and how long do you play piano?

    Thanks!

  • beautifully done mate

  • Buena parcero, desde Colombia, me parece que eres un berraco para interpretar esta pieza, que por cierto se la dedique a mi esposa...

  • overall not bad, but i have to say, the broken chords in general are a bit too powerful and drown out the melody

  • Well done!! Fabulous indeed!! This a very difficult master-piece, I also play it and I know how difficult, and how much concentration you must put on it. Congratulations!!

  • Nice version :)

    Sorry for this comment, but I would reallly appriciate if you would check out my video of me playing Liebestraum :)

  • I am learning this right now but I am stuck at 1:15

  • the seccond cadenza was exellent, just a little more work on the first one! Overall very well preformed!!!!!

  • why is there so many haters?

  • like I said in other videos, anyone who clicks the dislike button should have balls removed

  • this is awesome!! :D

    i can´t understand why there´s so many thumbs down... :(

  • Comment removed

  • Liszt é pura sensibilidade e quem procura interpreta-lo está muit perto dessa sensibilidade.

  • love it~

    im trying to learn this piece right now

  • @bopeng159951 Me too. Just the cadenzas and some of the jumps are difficult - wow it is so bueatiful though! I'll still need a few weeks to perfect it.

  • good job but too much Swiiiing lol

  • My dream is play piano, is difficult ? and impossible ?

  • @NoqiT

    It's not impossible, but it really IS difficult.

    Don't give up and try to learn ^^

  • so peaceful and wonderful (: excellent job!

  • One of the most difficult pieces ever, and you played it beautifully

  • This is simply amazing. I learned the simplified version, and I really want to learn the full version. This video rocks. :)

  • SHUT UP AND FUCK UP PEOPLE!! JUST ENJOY THE MUSIC !!

    BTW thanks for posting you play very well!! keep up the good work!

  • It`s one of my favorites too!, I started to learning it but I stoped at min 2:25, I'm going to retake it. I loved the way you played, I'm agree with last post : the most important is to feel the Music. If we want perfection we just have to keep practicing . Greetings!

  • applause!!

  • please check me playing liebestraum

  • Suuugar for my ears!!! thanks for that

  • beautiful!!! Played beautifully!

  • I always thought this was by Chopin.... brilliant my friend again you fill it with such emotion that it speaks to you.

  • @cjwaywell It does have that Chopin feel. There's a certain connection with Chopin's Notcturne! Both are beautiful pieces, though:)

  • Well done, quite an influence. =)

  • Congrats!

    U're very talented ^^

  • that was pretty awesome man, maybe bring out the melody a bit more, get a bit more idea of the melody and accompaniment... otherwise yeah it was great :D

  • lol at 1.16 you are just pressing randomly...

  • @MrXarbilas no.. he's not; that series of chords is actually written in the music. buy, follow along and you'll see.

  • @MrXarbilas No, he's not.

  • not to bad! Accompaniment is to dominant. Especially right hand.

  • I would love to have that tallent!

  • ahhhhhhhh thts soooo complicated! i played a simplified version before...its rlly pretty

  • wow It's really cooooooooool!!!

  • Comment removed

  • huge dynamic range.

    Finally, as for Liebestraum, I don't think anyone, who has not experienced love and everything that goes with that, should bother trying to play this piece. Liszt's music is transcendent. Music like this goes beyond the technique. If you want to impress me, perform the emotion without letting me know that you are manipulating black and white blocks of wood in order to actuate felt tipped hammers which cause resonance of varying frequencies, resulting in sound

  • hey i dont want to offend, i know this is a hard piece, but you're playing it way too tacky. i just cant relax to it.

  • im sorry 2 say but ur right hand is way too loud you gotta bring out the melody more. i performed this at the con recently. its a gerat peice nd not a easy . also u need 2 play the appergio faster. but seriously bring out the melody

  • 楼主的手跟我的好像可惜我弹的比你差多了

  • I completely agree imleafz. I couldn't have said it better myself.

  • :/ This seems more like a video of pride than skill. playing the notes at such a speed and stance makes the song less heart warming. this is supposed to be a bittersweet song of adolescent love.

  • worth watching.. the piece is good you are is good but the pianino doesn't good!...

  • i feel that some people here consider themselves d masters of the piano,

    well this song is very hard and is classified as grade 8+, so i doubt if anyone but a true pianist can perform with perfection

  • lol this is grade 8 +

    then what is Chopin Ballade.

    OVER 9000!?

  • You don't know what you are talking about. This piece is more difficult then Chopin Ballade. There are some passages that have to be played very quickly, and sometimes you have to spread your left hand fingers to 10 even up to 12 notes (which is almost impossible). The theme goes from right hand to the left, but still has to be bold. Liszt is much more technical then Chopin in general. This guy has not bad technique especially in the left hand, though this performance is not the best I've heard.

  • Comment removed

  • What do you think it's more easy: "Liebestraume" or" BWV 784" de bach??

  • bwv 784 is easier

  • could you put a link of the partiture pliz?

  • very good! the cadenzas could be faster of course but overall a very musical performance! this is peace is not easy!

  • how old are you ? and how many years have you been learning piano? ( I wanna know how long it is until I can play that piece.. I LovE iT)

  • Really good!! But you need to practise more.

  • Congratulations!

  • wow...

  • Congratulation because u enjoy the music!!! Keep moving into that world, and thanks for playing that!! I like so much.

  • De las interpretaciones que mas me a gustado

  • Just some advice, I'd practice really slow with a metronome if I were you, to get the rhythm down correctly. The rapid notes starting at 1:12 aren't fast enough or in tempo. You're really close to finishing this, you know almost all the notes. Good luck! :)

  • there are wayyyyy too many snobs who comment on these types of videos thinking they're the best damn piano players in the world and think they can just correct every tiny thing ever. the point is to enjoy the music, not to criticize the person who plays it. and by the way, this is one of the most difficult pieces out there, so just the fact that he can play it is impressive. so you guys all need to just shut up.

  • ok FYI this is not one of the hardest pieces out there.. yes it is hard to make "music". you see there are also alot of players who just play stupidly with no soul just to show off.. and not everyone comments on the person many people try to help out so that they can better themselves...

  • if you put a video on youtube you have to face the critizm..ı am learning this piece at the moment and will be finished soon. ı will out up a video soon..

    all in all ı think that piece is kında Rushed and ı heard alot  of mistakes...but keep on practicing youl make it soon...

    if anyone wants to see me play be sure to subscribe =))

  • many of them are trying to be helpful. it's obvious his right hand is a little heavy...nothing personal. a piece this beautiful deserves to be practiced. i'm sure jon has enough family and friends at home telling him it's flawless. if he wanted us to shut up he would disable comments (;-D)-/--3>

  • @dothatjont555 There should be MUCH more people like you on youtube! you can tell someone off and tell them to be nice, but can say it in a mostly polite manner (except for the shut up lol) thank you for your comment. We need more of you people in youtube.

  • @dothatjont555 amen bru

  • @dothatjont555 Amen!!

  • Comment removed

  • @dothatjont555 I guess everyone is able to make a point, even if he is not a piano player; if someone is rude you don't have to be the same way with him. Just try to be humble and well-educated.

    Have a nice day. = )

  • @dothatjont555 man in that vid i see a man playing piano, im pretty sure he can stand up for himself. and jeez man theres nothin wrong with some constructive criticism. and im pretty sure its his choice if he wants to take it. sooo wat gives u the rite to say anything about the people givin him some advice on how to improve, this jonhing guy may even take the advice to help himself play better.

  • Comment removed

  • @dothatjont555 this is nowhere NEAR one of the most difficult pieces out there.

  • @RandyNewmanFan I doubt you could even find the c note on the piano

  • @RandyNewmanFan I doubt you could even find the c note on the piano u hypocrite

  • @supersword222 look at my version of this piece, if you don't believe I can play... why not check my videos before assuming that I don't play?

  • Comment removed

  • @dothatjont555 - I agree. Jon is just outstanding. He should be doing his own concerts and charging $50 a head. I wonder how many of these 149 dislikes could play this even half as well. Sheesh!

  • verrrrry right

    for an amateur player with no ambitions to the top it is played well in my personal opinion.

  • Your right hand 2,3,4,5 fingers are hitting the keys to hard.. you have to lighten up. The melody is mostly played by your thumbs, and I'm sure you understand this part.

    And yes, I think you have to play it about as 120% fast as what you're playing right now.

    Are you having problems with the transitions? you seem to have a little difficulty when you hit octaves at the far ends of the keyboard..

  • What kills me is, parts I find easy, he's all thumbs. But parts I have a really hard time with, he zings right through without a hitch...go figure!

  • Are you sure you are going fast enough

  • Que piano bom.

    Qual é a marca??

  • jio pense

    Borgato..

  • Man, you need to play in tempo first, and then you can do all you want

  • maybe he just did what make him feel good..

    isnt that idea?

    not to be alone?

  • I thought Liszt was a Romantic composer...?

    If he was, then one key point of romantic-style music is tempo rubato, or free tempo. In that case, this guy is allowed to play at whatever tempo he wants (if it matches his interpretation of the music, that is).

  • hm..i think he is

  • its great! im trying to learn this song, so this should be helpfull. :D anyways, its great!

  • it definietly has emotion, i would just play it a bit slower until you get the timing perfect

  • this is well played, maybe a bit too slow.

  • Hauting Ground!

  • :D wewt!

  • you need to bring the melody out a bit more....and your not putting enough feeling into the piece....

    but on the other hand your amazing and many would die to be as good and as talented as you ........well done

  • HI... i like tis song...

    If you can send me a music sheet...

    If it's possible..

    Because i'm having a hard time looking for music sheet...

  • hey .. very very nice :)

    it is possible to send me the notes? i really want to learn this beautiful song and i can´t find the sheets :(

    please !

  • Hmm, you hold it in too much. For example at 1.57 JUST GIVE IT OUT! Liszt made this when chopin died (I think, don´t really remember)

    I have a picture of liszt in my head playing this and he really gives out the feeling.

    Man just give it loose and be wild, emotional. I promise it would give it more music.

  • Well I think he was trying but that's no Steinway so I would think that if it was however, it would sound very musical.

  • If you just turn off the sound you see how careful he´s playing! -_-

  • Ahh your right

  • your ringtone??  haha!

  • this is my favorite classical piece.....i learned to play an easier version when i was 7, but i really wanna learn how to play this- the real deal!!:D

  • Good! How long did you practice this piece ?

  • very nice

  • Lol Im playing this too =]

  • muito bom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gostei!!

  • !! Nice :)

    Any possibility that you could send me the music sheet? I really want to learn this piece :)

  • Nice : )

  • It's a hard piece and it took me a long time to practice as well. You've done well though I can spot a few mistakes when you did the long run. Maybe try to be more graceful there and the mistake will be less obvious. Well done nonetheless

  • check out my video of this:D, just search Justin Park Liszt

  • Absolutly fantastic!!!

  • you're so good. Keep up the good work XD

  • Comment removed

  • Wow super good!

  • lots of notes!that's why this piece is really difficult to play,but this guy is really gifted!!He's got a talent that anyone could envy.

  • great passion and memorization! I thouroughly love liszt

  • Excellent ! Thanks for posting !

  • expuest your head in place of fhoto usuary please

  • wow.................speechless­

  • im playing this casue i take paino lessons looking for research

  • ahh...everyone is a critic on Youtube. Well I WISH I could play like that. "keep your wrists straight"..."bad Piano"..."Bad playing, but Good Piano"...............whatever -these people are too focused on themselves to give a compliment where a compliment is due. Great watching you play. Thanks for sharing! You are a very good pianist!

  • let people say what they want.

    i think they're some wrong notes. he plays good, but maybe you say this is fantastic because you cannot play like this, but i imagine there's people who plays it better, and so they can make critics.

  • You are free to say whatever you want ...and I'm free to criticize you too ...for being overly critical.

  • yes, i agree with you. you are free to criticize me, as i'm free to do the same.

    ;)

  • great job

  • anoyone knows where I can get a tutorial o maybe some close up to the piano ??? Video of course... I wanna play this really bad..but I need some help XD and I dont wanna go to classes -.-"

  • mmm..

    i've been playing piano for 12 years. and i'm just learning it.

    12 years taking classes each week.

    playing piano is more difficult than it seems.

  • lolzz,,

    totally agree here,,,

    THUMBS up FOR u,my fren,,XD

  • The piece really gets difficult after the first little cadenza, then it is extremely difficult to make each note ring true. xXx

  • i know it, i'm playing it...

  • Yes I'm trying too. It is taking forever to play clearly and emotionally, though 'good things come to those that wait'. xXx

  • yes, you're right!

    good luck :)

  • i practiced this by playing the hard passages one time on all the tempos on my metronome

  • it's my nokia ringtone now

  • Good job, one thing to work for is making the jumps faster, so you don't have a huge break between them.
