Excellent Piano Recital in Japan! FYI, nearly at the end of the piece, Liszt attached "Cadenza ad libitum" in the score, which means that a pianist may play his/her own cadenza at will. Hamelin also added his jazzy cadenza, which can be heard from 8:20 until 11:34 (Thanks Tolstoy111 for correcting me).

Due to the dispute in the past few months:
Many users claimed other users to be racist and I didn't want to solve the problem because there were tons of comments to read. Therefore, I simply deleted comments. I was trying to ask everybody to calm down, forget what had happened, but it seemed useless. Starting from today (9:45pm, Eastern Time, May 10, 2010), whoever raises the racist matter, whether he/she says something racist or he/she accuses someone else to be racist, this person will be blocked without notice or warning. This is not a place for racist matter! If you find something troubling you, use PM or just grow up. (It's OK to say you like somebody else's version better, as long as you don't say anything related to racist stuff.)

Update 1 (Don't remember when): 4 users have been blocked by saying things related to racism. I hate blocking ppl, so please don't make me do it.

Update 2 (June 25, 2010): 3 more users are blocked. When I said "no discussion about racism," I meant it!

Update 3 (August 29, 2010): 1 more user has been blocked. There are other ways to express one's disagreement, but yet this guy chose to violate my rule.

  • I was designing my building in Autocad (i'm a student of Architecture), and I just couldn't solve some technical issues. And that kept happening for weeks, till I started believing I couldn't make it. A few moments ago I searched for this piece on Youtube, I pressed the 'play' button and began working on my building again. And I achieved what I was struggling for. What can I say? I think this musical masterpiece is pure magic. Thank you, Liszt. :)

  • Wonderful performance but I wouldn't call the cadenza "jazzy." It's more like Godowsky on amphetamines.

  • Ha~~~

    ため息のみ!!

  • Too bad this video is older. His cadenza is quite amazing.

  • Behold, the Fingers of God.

  • Brilliant! I really really liked it!

  • His hands look like fukin spiders running from a loud stomp!

  • His edit cadenza or whatever kind of wrecked the drive that the piece builds up. It felt like an un-related part that he used to show off. Horowitz's actually sound really good and isn't so long.

  • Last minute of improvisation was OMGWTFBBQ I never seen fingers move that fast

  • @reu91 Hamelin is a fucking machine!

  • 6:08 sweatdrop
