      Liszt also composed a simpler version of the piece for one of his students but I don't know what size her hands were . You can find it at the website of the publisher "G. Henle Verlag" .

    Dear Irene Exercising this piece was my childhood fixation. I don't have your study, schooling and expertise behind me... I may never even be able to play Mephisto well, but I thank you for this magnificent video of yours. It is very encouraging to discover that some of the practice methods you recommend, to get around some difficulties, are exactly what I think they are. I live in Florence, I hope I can hear you here, at the Verdi theatre or at the Teatro del Maggio. Best wishes, and thank you. Francesco Giannoni

    The answer you say about "when I don't understand music (funny you mention Bartok and Mahler, lol 😂 I sometimes think this about Glenn Gould and his thoughts on Schoenberg) you try to understand why that is and keep your mind limber". Really like that and makes me think I have hope lol 😂

    Amazing job! Number 3 is a personal favorite of mine and it's hard to find one I like after being "ruined" by Radu Lupu. I think you're playing was great. I loved the slight ritardando you did while getting staccato in one variation. That small detail was something I really enjoyed and made me start to get out of my "Lupu" perspective and appreciate your performance. Number 4 is a virtuosic masterpiece and you played the absolute heck out of it. Bravo! Can't believe this is a live recording after hearing it played so well!! Seriously awesome job!!!

    I had played the First Mephisto Waltz. It is likely one of the best programmatic pieces by Liszt of a dreadful scale. Here is my take on what I think the story portrays in the waltz's coda......My imagination... "Then, everybody does a wild waltz dance for the last time in place, starting slow, and then fast as the grand finale---the nightingales, Faust's seducee, Marguerite, the cavern spirits, and the party-goers, all participate. It is now a full bacchanal-like atmosphere---Mephisto is now like Paganini--every explosive up-and-down bowing, spiccato runs, double stopping--is like a fireworks display to them. On the Bb minor/Db chord, Mephisto signals a big pillar of hellish fire going up and down, pleasing the partyers, and then, on the last octave run, Mephisto signals the partyers to raise their glasses, drink until the glasses are dry, and then they all fall down dead drunk in supine position--as that devil-violinist does his crash-out on the violin with a snarky smile!"

    Could you do a tutorial on liszt's mephisto waltz no.4 or maybe rachmaninoff's op.33 no.4? This video helped me a ton in practicing the technique for this waltz, so im sure any further workshops you will record will be super helpful to us!

  • @touch_master721
    @touch_master721 Рік тому

    Very simply: you are moving to much and that affect your playing in negative way. You can not move so much at piano and play this piece... Move less body and make more music. Your playing is sterile, and a lot of hand movement so you giving false picture that you want to show hand acrobatic but in FACT you cant play technically this composition. Its to much for you. So you want to soften that FACT by moving to much.

    Hi Irene, great video! I'm learning the Mephisto right now, so one question about that: I've noticed (youtube 25% of the speed) the majority of pianists play the 'leaps of death' jumping of a thumb to either 1-5 or 1-4 octave, there are however some that play (like yourself) from second finger to the octave. Did you try to practise both when you started? If so, why did you decide to go 2 - octave? I'm currently practising both and thumb seems to be better for hand position on an octave but awkward to hit the first note and second finger is the reverse of that. And by the way have you heard Katsaris play these jumps? He's a world record holder, playing the left hand with two hands at this speed (around 220) seems impossible. Then there's Horowitz, the ever-so-idiosincratic gentleman with an over-sized bow-tie who doesn't give a sh*t about anybody and plays at 118 and is the slowest of all time. 🤣 So, all in all a lot of fun with this piece!

    • @irenekimpianist
      @irenekimpianist Рік тому

      Hi Miha! Whenever coming across super-technical passages like the "leaps of death," I try several fingerings and choose the one that ultimately feels the best in my hands. Sometimes, even then, after bringing a passage up to performance speed, I realize that a different fingering works better, given the speed. I found that the 2 - octave allows me to be a lot more accurate than 1 - octave; I can use the swivel from the 2nd finger to the octave to measure out the distance of each leap, and my thumb is not doubly occupied. I'm not sure how Katsaris manages it, but I am very content letting him keep his record.
