Liszt - Alleluia

[C0L050]

Liszt he could Play a 13th on the piano. The Hungarians have big hands like the germans or russians

[timespaice]

OMG LISZT FOUND ROCK MUSIC THE FIRST!!! <3

[dalecampbl9]

wow...this is too fast

[PhoenixS4444]

the end is different.... I mean, we don't see what it supposed to be on the sheet...

[dennis0mus]

@PhoenixS4444 true

[newgeorge]

@PhoenixS4444 someone preferred an AMEN at the end. It does work better I think.

[AllaboutDebby]

I want a complicated brain with a lot of complicated notes.

[Haamidpianoman]

i want to make a channel like supremelisztlover, or sumut like that becasue he is just awesome, and this piece is one fo the reasons

[jijibaba0530]

dull work

[Chakiejan]

What is this piece a part of? It's not a work on it's own is it?

[madderbass]

@Chakiejan Yes, it is.

[ramalamalin]

Very difficult to executate.

[candidnt]

happy birthday to the love of my life

[Jannothy]

1:14 How the hell do u play that fast?! :D

[destroyer103]

@Jannothy you see that part was electronically inserted using a green screen so that our ears would still receive the effect of intense rape(the good kind) while the pianist's hands were safe many miles away. he was never in harm's way.

[rodstartube]

it is polyphonic?

[pauldotp]

0:58:-) 

[pauldotp]

liszt must have known lassus.

[PianoDaemon]

Thomson's performance is way too fast - he plays it like a virtuoso warhorse, when it is supposed to be a sacred piece. He also adds the cadence at the end which isn't in the score. Listen to Leslie Howard's recording. It's far more noble and moving.

[jnm236]

Hexameron, who performed this piece?

[Caigga900]

New favorite.

[SunSilas]

Alleluia = Praise Jah

[SunSilas]

Alleluia = Praise Jah

[sweetdude3000]

@cafity after all those babies and fugue writing, I don't see how Bach would find the time to think of anything else! :)

[FranzLisztFerentz]

the best part - 1:16

[addeex1]

@FranzLisztFerentz Indeed I love that part too!! Feels like it's comes out of nowhere :)

[edertables]

jó

[gerardbedecarter]

Thanks for uploading this.

[DjMintOnix]

this should be for two pianos instead of only one

[lavamaster530]

wtf does Liszt have big hands or something?

[C12Joshua]

@lavamaster530

He was supposedly able to hit tenths with ease.

[moneyjr1122]

the new theme song to true grits!! :)

[joernbroeker]

lol, liszt composed the riff of smoke on the water

[raticida123456]

this is very hard!!!!!!!!!! ooo i cant play this

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

AMEN!

[lngrbtyd1334]

@sweetdude3000, chopin most likely heard it once or twice in his days...

[RemovdSande11]

god how I listened to this song and cried. thank you Liszt

[foreignboy221]

I wish I could compose like this. It's gorgeous.

[DanMarcy1]

I want to play this piece on an extended range piano so I can play the left hand F-major chord in bar 5 down an octave. Just like the bass trombone version of this.

[DanMarcy1]

Hosannah for bass trombone by Liszt. Look it up.

[themanlywoman]

I wish I had three hands so I could play Liszt's music

[F14Lolcat]

@themanlywoman you don't need 3 hands if u play this at the correct tempo, which is IMO just a little bit faster than Howard's... search liszt s. 183 on youtube

[RemovdSande11]

if you would grade this piece in terms of difficulty, what grade will it be ?

[themanlywoman]

@RemovdSande11 This one is cranking it up to 11

[archcorenth]

It reminds me of Gottschalk's Banjo :-P

[RemovdSande11]

this is such a genius piece

[felix0911176727]

I love the bass addition in the end Philip Thomson played, totally appropriate!!

[pearsewl]

I can really hear Alkan's influence in this one.

[FranzLisztian]

Anyone got a midi of this piece?

[addeex1]

why do you wonder that?

[Timmytimtimtm]

well done Mr. Thomson

[Haeronthegreat]

Anyone would think Liszt was rather fond of this God fellow...

[Lisztman88]

epic. truly epic.

[addeex1]

but what happens to the two last chords? :S I was like WHOOT, diffrent scores :O

[sweetdude3000]

i wonder what chopin would think of this lol

[Keytaster]

@sweetdude3000 I think he would've disliked it...

[mikejr41387]

@sweetdude3000 he'd probably think its the most pompous piece of trash he's ever heard!

[Diffomega]

@sweetdude3000 keep in mind that was chopin that inspired liszt into composing, he was inspired after he met chopin.

[thegreatapologist]

@Diffomega No, it was primarily the princes he was having an affair with, as well as marie dajoue.

[thegreatapologist]

@thegreatapologist princess.*

[Diffomega]

@thegreatapologist oh, I didn't know that.

[PancakesoftheLove]

@sweetdude3000 Seeing as Lizst and Chopin were really close friends (Chopin dedicated his first set of "Douze Grandes Etudes" to Liszt and his second to Liszt's mistress), he probably heard it.

[JohnEBProductions]

@PancakesoftheLove Seeing as how this was written in 1865, and Chopin died in 1849, I'm not sure he was on hand to hear it.

[PancakesoftheLove]

@JohnEBProductions Ah yes, I always forget who outlived who.

Well, in this case Chopin didn't hear it.

[BenjaminTheHolyDiver]

@sweetdude3000 He have probobly heared it already.... Lizt and Chopin were good friends

[thegreatapologist]

@BenjaminTheHolyDiver >_>

Chopin was 20 years dead.

<_<

[BenjaminTheHolyDiver]

@thegreatapologist AHh... now saw the timelaine.... yhe.... i se what your saing...

[moneyjr1122]

@sweetdude3000 im sure he wouldnt mind but what about bach?!?! or mozart??

[cafity]

@sweetdude3000 Yeah? I wonder what Bach would think of Xenakis "Metastasis"!!! ;D

[PSNDemonwing]

@sweetdude3000 why do you say that?

[RemovdSande11]

@sweetdude3000

too many notes.

[rodstartube]

@RemovdSande11 lol

[ccen1]

@Maspixxx horrible?

[shiftyoliver]

Maspixx is an idiot

[shiftyoliver]

Because I missed an extra x? Get real. Don't know why you're even on here if you hate these Liszt pieces so much.

[Maspixxx]

I don't hate Liszt and this piece: Liszt was far better than all us together and a genius in his own way. What I really hate is MYSELF, LIFE, GOD and MY FUCKING COUNTRY: ITALY.

[shiftyoliver]

In that case, I apologize for my outburst.

[Maspixxx]

Don't worry, I really am an idiot.

[kasyapa]

meep. you're a bit kooky.

[felix0911176727]

I've wait this for a long time... Alleluja!!

[havenotname]

interesting!

[Toccata123]

Hello, does anyone know where I can get a copy of this masterpiece? Please help, thank you so much!

[himemiya1650]

try googling the IMSLP

[Toccata123]

Thank you so much! I didn't know there was such a valuable site available! Thank you guys once again!

[rafjuven]

en el imslp

[Omero19026]

Amazing

[Kalen1457]

how powerful

[tomekkobialka]

Love 1:16 to 1:24!

[tomekkobialka]

I like this! Good stuff.

[araujomateus]

plagal cadence at the end in this interpretation!

[123eldest]

reminds me of alkan

[Jman0101]

i was thinking the same.

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

me too...

[kasyapa]

123eldest - i had the same thought!

[F14Lolcat]

@123eldest I think not. Alkan's music was greatly influenced by Jewish music, and I can't hear any of that in this.

[123eldest]

@F14Lolcat Haha, please go and listen to some more of Alkan's music and come back, then shut your eyes and listen. You will struggle to find no similarities. Even 2 years since I posted that comment I can still hear it for myself.

Plus, you cannot disagree with the fact that it reminds ME of Alkan :D

[aewanko300]

A grandiose piece...

[fozziebear2009]

Great!!!!!
