this piece was originally composed solely for the piano by C.M. von Weber (Polonaise Brillante "L'Hilarite" op. 72), later arranged for piano and orchestra by Liszt (S367). performed by the german orchestra Gewandhausorchester Leipzig conducted by Masur, and Michel Beroff (piano)

  • Clever pitching. It's about .03 HZ above normal, and at first I didn't notice, but it messed up my ear for the rest of the day, and I thought my violin was out of tune. Haha :)

  • yuppi I'm the 200th "i like it" :D

  • Beautiful....I think of my father when I close my eyes and become eveloped in the sound.

    Thank-you

  • it is very meaningful to me that after a life creating beautiful things he retired into religion and prayer and solitude - Music has a lot to do with God!

  • @andrew17660

    Fck yourself! Liszt was hungarian!

  • This is way better than Chopin's Polonaise Brilliante in Eb major

  • @nickoicool Weber was pre-chopin, and this piece would definitely have been forgotten if Liszt wouldn't have made this.

  • @tonybrian92 @dussekfan this is a piece by WEBER liszt just made it for piano and orchestra, like what he did with wanderer fantasy, which was somewhat necessary back then because large concerts were traditionally only reserved for piano and a accompianment(orchestra), solo piano performances where usually done in salons smaller venues.

  • Beautiful :D

  • You look at this striking man---he may have spoke German--but he identified as a Hungarian. Look at those cheekbones!! That's Magyar folks! In Lizst's time, many Hungarians could not speak it---the language was outlawed by the Austro Hungarin Empire which Hungary was part of. This does not make them any less Hungarian than those who speak Magyar. Besides, Lizst has been embraced by Hungary. He always gave FREE piano lessons to Hungarian students and helped with flood victims in Budapest.
