"Played" by digital pianist Michael Nanasakov. Like the Le Preux etude, I decided to post this one up since I couldn't find it either. You should watch out for the trio, as it is pretty hard to follow due to the tempo (it took me a while to sync the sheet music to the piece on that part...).

  • I hate when you say humans can't play this and things like it's impossible because i want to learn it and i will!

  • Now THAT'S  dedication! I look forward to hearing you when you do finish learning it.

  • i'll take years and years before i can start learning it, but i don't like when someone says it's impossible

  • Yeah, same here. Some people even claimed that "Islamey" was impossible just because Balkierev (excuse my spelling of his name) couldn't play it.

  • Sounds like the second movement of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9.

  • this piece doesnt have to be written such hard to give the same effect. it already have a beautiful and basic melodic structure.

  • @NewComposer01 Ronald Smith recorded Alkan's op.16 etudes! I believe you can find them on Keith Whalen's channel (KeithWhalen11).

  • @NewComposer01 Actually, there's a professional pianist who recorded this, and it should be somewhere here in youtube. Obviously it's not as perfect as this digital rendition, but at least it's something.

  • What a nice etude! It's wild, yet has a funny trio - very Alkan-like. I was completely into it, and was somehow disappointed not to have any applaud at the end...

  • This has to be the hardest piano piece ever. I dont believe Liszt was the most technically gifted pianist anymore. Im thinking Alkan.

  • Oh MY GOD. Alkan is Diabolik

  • @Erikk91 Yes you are.

  • 2:31 - 2:44 AMAZING!
