s tier is good but the rest, ATROUCIOUS TAKE

Should have put Alkan and old Sorabji. Some truly legendary hair

You have the greatest ideas to keep music interesting and entertaining. Keith

I don't know if he held up irl, but Beethoven's hair is LEGENDARY at least in his portraits.

Bach, Vivaldi, Handel and Scarlatti, etc., were all Baroque composers. They all wore wigs. I don't think they really count. It was the style of the time. But, Beethoven was one of the 1st breakouts. He refused to wear a wig. Like Mozart, he refused to be treated like a servant, and to wear a servants uniform. Also, but didn't Mussorgsky write everything for piano and Ravel orchestrate all his works?

I'm confused, I wanted to hear more, so I looked this up in Apple music. It's not the the sonata your playing. What am I doing wrong?

Id put repeated octaves in terrifying and 4-5 trills in death, gliss octaves also lower tha death. The la campanella piece where 4-5 trills exist is just really awkward for my right hand. I am actually good at repeated octaves, yeah ive had people tell me they hate them, I dont know why. Like hungarian rhapsody no 6 isnt terrible for me. And for double murky bass which I probably would ignore anyway, but if I had to actually do it, I take a very small lift off with both hands and reset, I can do it much faster, but still not as fast if I did it as a smooth motion which then my hands yes do what you showed, thumbs play at the same time pinky play at the same time. Id move double trill to death, repeating notes to little scary.

Mozart sonata K545 is literally titled "for the use of beginners". You don't get much more beginner than that. Also, the rondò a' la turca is something that you play on the second/third year of learning, so between intermediate and beginner. I feel like this list is very squeezed up. How do you differentiate between Chopin's studies, that are plenty advanced, and unplayable things like liszt's transcriptions of beethoven?

Nice vid! The thing that I love about John Field is that every piece is very easy listening for the ears and full of melody. No piece in the 7 piano concertos, 4 piano sonatas, or 18 nocturnes is skippable. It's in that area between Mozart and Chopin. Another piece that is not completely minimalist but probably the most minimal and slow piece that I've heard pre-1900 is Charles-Valentin Alkan op. 31 #25 Priere: Lentement.

Something for you to add to the bag: double note gliss. And make them go up and down

Good video !

Look into Clementi, who was predicting Beethoven’s middle-period style in the 1790s.

Vivaldi?, Shostakovich? At least on mentions?

you can probably make this video with just late beethoven. Sonata no. 32 famously has its little boogie woogie moment, (among its other forsights) Grosse Fuge, perhaps Beethoven's greatest masterpiece, almost feels modernist

Hi, what do u think abt Chopin’s 2nd sonata 4th mvt

Nikolai Medtner invented jazz rythms way before jazz started

You forgot the most important musical prediction, Scriabin, who predicted the harmonic language of jazz

Love Haydn's The Bear symphony, very witty and dashing.

You should check out “In futurum” by Erwin Schulhoff. It anticipates John Cage’s 4’33” by 30 years!

Chopin sonata 2 mvt 4 💀

You forgot tremolosssss

The Bachy fuginess😂 Kinda like a name of a pasta 🍝

Ryan, thanks so much for covering this Hayden piece. I am working on some explanations of the different psychologies of each individual key, and i'm convinced that D-major (which is see as orange) is truly the happiest key. But that's opinion , to a degree. But what I wanted to mention is that i'm using Hayden's "Sunrise Symphony" as my example of a happy sound within the Classical repetoire. The idea being that the first movement is a feeling of ascending grandiousity. Thanks for bringing this D sonata to my attention, and I am eager to see if there are any references to his D-major symphony. Do you have any recommendations of specific pianist's who you preferred on covering this sonanta? Also, do come and see my work on sound-to-color music theory. I'm at _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_ channel, if the link doesn't work. Thanks again! Subscribed! - Frank Montoya.

I recommend to listen to Mozart's gigue, it sounds like Shostakovich.

For me personally, the worst piano techniques are tenth tremolos and broken tenths (or intervals wider than this!), and you can see this a lot in some of Liszt's 1840s pieces. They are absolutely scary, especially if they are on the right hand and if you can't even barely reach that width-span. Major tenth tremolos are just hell.

One can find pieces or passages of Bach that emulate virtually any prior or later composer...! p.s., downvotes until you learn how to type ♭ & ♯.

Hey Ryan, what keyboard are u using for ur vids? Thanks!

very interesting

Can’t wait for the John Field episode. I recently picked up an old G. Schirmer edition of his nocturnes edited by none other than Franz Liszt, from a used book store.

Commenting for the algorithm, however, I do think that Clair de Lune is firmly in the Advanced category if you want to be able to play it well and certain passages as fast and delicate as they deserve to be played (humble opinion 😅). No one wants to hear a Clair de Lune played too slowly throughout

One of my favorite pieces by lizst is benediction de dieu… feels ethereal to play

Octave glissando in Beethoven’s Waldstein 3rd movement is pure horror for me😂

Excellent vid! Bravo! [Quibble alert warning!] FWIW, in m. 7 of the andante you played G natural, which is probably correct - Pogorelich also plays G natural - but it's a G# in the score you project above the keyboard as you play.

I am learning fingerstyle acoustic guitar and find this very helpful to understanding the structure. Thank you

I have no unfinished works. Only unstarted ones.

I just made a difficulty ranking of Beethoven's Piano Concertos specifically if anyone wants to check that out: ua-cam.com/video/Q0iTVQZsVDc/v-deo.html
