While I admire the style in which you played it, my question was if this were more of an interpretation to how you thought it should sound? I'm currently learning this piece and while I have no problem playing the 2 against 3 rhythms, the 4 against 3 rhythms are giving me a good bit of trouble if I'm trying to play it by ear. When I'm actually counting it, it sounds quite different. Have you hear Horowitz play this piece because it seems similar to his style of playing?
@louisezhuly Good point. I tend to play poly-rhythmic pieces with more abandon than straight eighths again quarters, or whatever. Twos against threes by its nature is a square peg/round hole issue. Songs written entirely in that meter are more open to interpretation. I haven't heard Horowitz do this piece, but this is how I heard it in my head that day, so that's how I played it. (How we hear things changes. I'd play it differently now probably.) Anyway, thanks for the comment. :-)
very good... try to play the left hand a little softer if you can but apart from that the rubato is spot on and you have the feel of the music just right... well done...
btw, not sure if i would describe it as a groovy piece :)
@SJ13lover - It's not grade 9. There's no way. I'm about grade 4 and I can blunder my way through it. My guess is that this is a grade 6 or 7 piece. Either that, or I'm at a higher grade level than I think I am.
If you can sight read pretty well, can play with 5 flats, and have a good sense of tuplets, I'm sure you could play this piece.
technically and artistically, this is a beaufitul interpretation! I have a question though. are you playing extra bass notes in the beginning? I figured this out by ear, and I didn't detect that many bass notes. Am I playing it wrong then?
to each his own. I forget some bass notes in the last parts. every interpretation is valid as long as it stays in the general path the composer intended....especially with a composer like Liszt.
You did a really great job with this. I'm trying to learn it myself and am having difficulty with the rhythmic differences between the two hands. Any advice to get it as smoothly as you do?
Hello ! I heard your Video interpretation of Consolation N°3 of Liszt, it is the most beautiful interpretation among all the others I could find in Youtube, I listen to it many many times all through the day for I am learning it in order to play it myself. Many thanks for the pleasure you bring to me, many thanks also for your advices. From a French classic music lover and medium level pianist who is hoping to succeed in playing such a piece of music as well as you did !!

@dberry02jr Yeah I agree with you. This is way to simple for grade 9.... This would be a great sight reading piece for me and I'm doing grade 6 =)

I may have put in extra bass notes. I was playing by memory and may have forgotten some of the specifics for the bass. My bad.

Try doing the left hand separately until you know it by rote.
Other than that, just practice, practice, practice. Which is what NO ONE wants to hear. Sorry. No easier way. ;-)
