Liszt's Paganini-Etude in B major, La Campanella

[MegaDutchTutorials]

it isn't easy but liszt was a god... remember that.

[coolguyscientistmad]

i've got this same midi too and the original one too

[bloodl3tt3r]

Oh this is the not fun version.

[bloodl3tt3r]

Also it's a lot slower than it should be... especially the finale.

[openmindspace]

This is the alternate version. It is supposed to be in B Major... Duh...

[OverFjell]

This is in G Sharp Minor, not B Major...

[ArAnYpEtI97]

Ez Liszt egyik legjobb műve!

Féligmeddig el tudom játszani.

[edmondrachmaninov]

cool programme. but can it do speed?

[sajtosdnb]

it's to slow

[RASMOOSEM]

Funny how the music just doesnt quite work if u play the notes perfectly on time - need - simply need!! - human dynamics to work.

TY so much for posting - awesum to see this.

Laca.. rocks!

[Mikypilota]

Hmmm... this is the easy version but i think that's good for student of 4-5-6 year!

I don't speak english I study i it!

[tony0000111]

this is the easy one,not real!!!

[BNp03]

this version is not the real one ^^ the real one is a bit more difficult...

[MoonMankkkkkk]

On the contrary, this is actually a severely slowed rendition of the Liszt's original, transcribed etude of La Campanella, a version that's considerably more difficult than the popular version.

[joao975ca]

Liszt / Paganini - La campanella in g sharp minor..... Awesome anyway....

[Daftpunkfan123]

3:13 - 4:05 looks like murder!

[Talokaaa]

Seeing the piano playing itself look like this song needs 3 hands at a time : )

[addeex1]

Ye I agree, what is this!? xD

[AttemptingToBeBusy]

Ahem; G Sharp Minor.

[giancas1976]

great video! how do you make the 3D? midi + some scripts for maya/3d studio? great!

[Attila19101960]

This is the most difficult piece for piano ... of course, was written by Liszi .. the most difficult composer!!!....i love liszt!! He's a best pianist!! as well as Chopin, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart

[addeex1]

have to say there are a lot harder composers, one of the tops where Charles-Valentin Alkan, But also Henselt isn´t too easy.

[JuyoNi]

lol not even close to the hardest, listen to rachmaninov and tell me its not harder than that

[benngmen]

0:37 to 0:56 so so hard

[benngmen]

sounds easy but really hard

[Rachmanomaniac]

Dudes, this is the original version Liszt's wrote, then he altered it about 30 years later.

[jonprak]

I don't think the beginning part is part of the score, at least not the one I have! Is it the original? Probably not.

[gnomeater]

the slower notes at the start? indeed they are in the original. magnificent song really, so much emotion and so challenging!

[stefomate]

that is not the way to play it

[tinyjru]

I can't believe no one mentioned that it's in g# minor.

[azilor]

And yes this is very funny! XD i Love this piece but it must be faster.

[azilor]

That is impossible to play because Liszt was master or paganini of piano and he¨has very big hands!

[puchalaka]

How is it impossible to play? theres about 1000 recordings of this pice...

[gh8nxn]

very funny

[dolcebimba24]

strepitoso, fantastico, meraviglioso!!!!!

[timfey]

liszt had a very big hand , he could cross 14 white keys without difficulties....

[Manx123]

Pianos were also a lot smaller back then.

[puchalaka]

what?? that is impossible. explain yourself

[timfey]

lol , u dont know ? theres been many comical drawings about liszt beening a 8 handed octopus destroying a piano lol , showing that he have large powerful hands .

[puchalaka]

Lol and does that prove that List was capable of crossing 14 white keys with one hand???  Get your statements right...

[AvidHobbyist]

I believe that Liszt had large hands, but I highly doubt that he - or anyone, for that matter - can "easily" span 14 white keys.

[qazwsxedcrfv80]

he didn't have huge hands. this piece is just hard to play.

[AvidHobbyist]

It's documented that Liszt had above average hand size. I never said that this piece wasn't difficult to play; I was simply pointing out that no man's hand can span 14 white keys.

[gnomeater]

the piece was designed for the complex.. i've just started playing it today and my god.. its 30x harder than you'd think!

[Airliners101]

Depends for who. People with years of training like Horowitz would probably top this song in about less then a day. I had a attempt to play this but I failed and that was the last time I ever sat infront of a piano. I got too frusterated. So your correct in most of the part. Its much harder than people think. Good luck!

[godsloved3]

he probably made the second version when he got old cause he couldn't do as well as he could when he was younger.

[XPJamieXD]

Yeah it's by no means simple, though I do prefer the orgignal to this.

[earthatic]

love this!

[rvn10rvn17]

hey.. this is a simplified version.. do you have the original?>

[PuresMusic]

It's not simplified, It's just as hard. This is the 2nd version Liszt wrote. Himself. So nobody else.

[OverFjell]

Um, it was Busoni, wasn't it?

[tiggxtreme]

This is almost exactly like the original, except that small (easy) part was added at the beginning, otherwise, it's by no means simplified. But it is played a but slower.

[hayama317]

oh, I get what you mean by simplified... that's just the beginning as tiggxtreme mentioned.

[rvn10rvn17]

my mistake would be, as i heard the simplied beginning, i straight away made an assumption that the whole song is simplified. Until now, i haven't listened to the whole song.. but surely, this is slower than it should be..

[no1SwedishViking]

yeah it is

[bigd21289]

woah! u need big hands to play this but people just do the impossible !

[krazymusic]

i always watch this video.. thanks to this.. that inspired me to learn it

[trigalg693]

The beginning is wrong...whatever

[tiggxtreme]

@trigalg693: The beginning is right, there was just an added section that, according to PuresMusic, Liszt added himself.

[adrianmelgar]

ah si yo hubiera visto este video antes! jajaja imaginensen lo q puede ayudar esto para estudiar piano!

[Joe15980]
