ME (0:00-0:11): Yey! Something I could play!

ME (0:12-4:08): wtf?!

Classical composers had a rough job. They had to make a song that was as pleasing to the ear as it was technically challenging. Classical musicians were experts in their field, having trained for years to handle things that the average musician (and youtube comment poster) would consider impossible. Nowadays, most songs are three chords that any old guy with a guitar can play on his lunch break. Whether or not that's an improvement is up for debate.

@TheOnlyJwh1t3 I see what you mean. As music progressed, they pared down on those elements that made classical music unattainable except to the most dedicated of practitioners and yet sacrificed nothing in regards to that visceral, human reaction that so defines music. In this case, a lack of sophistication is not necessarily an indicator of low quality. Still, that's not to say neither of these approaches are invalid. Frankly, I find that both leave just as strong an impression.

@ReiReining Of course. The problem is that this composed by Liszt. Therefore, the difficulty is extreme.

Anyway, not one of his hardest works. Try Totentanz

@Ap0ske You break the chord, even though the chord in the sheet music isn't arpeggiated. Synthesia follows the sheet music and plays all the notes in the chord simultaneously, which is impossible. I suppose Liszt didn't write the appegiated notation as he thought it was obvious a chord this big had to be broken.
