The Piano Gamer This whole video is the S.140 set, written in 1838. The more famous (and much easier) revised editions (S.141) were published in 1851, and includes the famous La Campanella version you are thinking of. Personally, I prefer the earlier S.140 one to the later S.141 one, but that is just my taste :)
@@jakubbanas4647 There are 5 different pieces by Liszt which incorporate the 'La Campanella' theme: • Grande fantaisie di bravura sur La Clochette de Paganini, S420 (1832) • No.3 from the 1838 Paganini studies • The first and second versions of the Grande fantasie sur des thèmes de Paganini - [Variations sur] La clochette et Le Carnaval de Venise, S700i/ii (1845) • The revised No.3 from the 1851 set.

@@xxmeliozxx1160 who said it's supposed to be played at tempo? In a transcription, Liszt adds his own elements to the piece, and so, it's not necessary to play it at that tempo.
@@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji but how do you know that this piece was originally at the violin tempo and then was changed due to the fact that no one could play it except for Liszt
@@xxmeliozxx1160 no one said Liszt could play it. Also, it's fine to change the tempo but, the music is still the same. He changed it from Vivo to Andante Quasi Allegretto. Perhaps, he himself felt that it could have been bettered and he did revise it to S.141. Although the original composition is by Paganini, Liszt was the one that adapted it so he does have the right to change a few elements, as opposed to changing the music in its entirety.
This is utterly inconceivable. What can man not do?? It seems not possible yet here it is. Extraordinary. Mr. Filipec, there are no words. And Andre, thank you for the upload!
I saw Goran Filipec last november in Rafael Orozco Piano Festival in Córdoba, Spain. He played these studies and he was fantastic. Thanks so much, Andrei!!!
I get that most pianists play the revised versions because they are difficult enough. But if you program the piece that is supposed to show the breakthrough as Liszt the virtuoso pianist, I think this is the version to go. I totally understand why women fainted hearing this played. It's a superhuman achievement.
Je suis d'accord. Je peux jouer la version plus simple, mais si vous voulez être challengé et recevoir plus d'applaudissements, c'est cette version qu'il faut choisir parmi la révisée.
What I admire in these works was how incredibly close Liszt stayed faithful to the original - especially no. 6, almost everything Liszt added in the 6th etude was incredibly faithful to Paganini's 24th caprice, and the transition of the base melodies from violin to piano was very well done; furthermore, the ascending tenths Liszt added in var VI exactly mirrors the difficulty seen in Paganini's caprice, where Paganini added ascending tenths, exactly in this very part. Incredible performance from Filipec.
Such an amazing performance! Filipec really nails it hard on these extremely hard etudes, my goodness. Equally brilliant technically as with Petrov, but I feel like Petrov's recordings has this more restrained nuance as if he's a bit overwhelmed-But my Lord I don't feel like that at all at this performance! He plays with such great feeling and sense for the music, it carries me away without giving an impression of a supposedly subhuman quality these etudes are supposed to possess; and what could at first be an invitation to dismiss Liszt's early music as “circus blunders” if executed too tautly, becomes such brilliant showstoppers which are of course-a perfect tribute to Paganini's dazzling violin acts, transcribed as equally astonishing, pushing the limitations and boundaries of what a piano can do at the time as what Paganini had done with the violin. Terrific performances of an otherwise perhaps, revolutionary pieces that shape virtuoso piano-writing and playing as we know today!
I feel that Petrov's was this more powerful "Russian" approach, if I can get a bit stereotypical, with these etudes. Generally I tend to like particularly the 4th (and hardest) one of the set more in this one, since I'm all for Filipec's "detached" sound.
I always liked this version of la campanella more because it includes the theme of the 1st violin concerto unlike s. 141, but bloody hell why does it have to be so hard?
@@jackcurley1591 In general I like s.140 more(if I forget about the difficulty), but there are some things in s.141 which imo are better, for example blind octaves in no. 2, glissandi in no. 5 and chromatic scale at the end of no. 6
@@niccolopaganini4268 Well, Liszt had just been inspired by the foremost virtuoso of the age, Paganini, someone who not only played the violin better than any rival but played the violin as well as it could be played (quite a different proposition) and not only did Liszt want to emulate this on the piano with these legendary works, but he wanted to turn his concerts into something more akin to Paganini's- séances if you will, where some unknown spirit has stirred and swept the audience with fear and ecstasy (so far, only Paganini had conjured this mephistophelian, dark atmosphere with his style of virtuosic diablerie, and his influence on the history of virtuosity could now never be eradicated, something Liszt would also eventually achieve with his quest for the ne plus ultra of piano technique). So all this might account for these works' difficulty. In any case, it is better to dedicate your life to the keyboard and practice hard enough to achieve the skill required to play these works well or just sit back and observe someone else do it instead of whining about the difficulty, a pointless exercise in my opinion. ;)
Andrei Cristian Anghel yeah.. because it sounds amazing because it’s „difficult“, you can’t have it easy and sounding amazing.. it has to be difficult to sound amazing :D
Thanks so much for this amazing video Andrei! I’m so glad it was finally unblocked. Filipec’s recordings are transparently conveying to me a man who truly understands Liszt; and, what is more, a man with the perfect technical ability to play these sardonically difficult works. Only such an adroit pianist such as Filipec can do these works justice, and a score video of this set is exactly what UA-cam needed! Thanks again! :D
There were actually score videos of the Petrov recording, but this is good as well because it's all in one video and allows for an alternative version of the set.
Just noticed at 20:45, you can see Liszt’s early other ideas through the Ossias and how they’re implemented in the S.141 renditions of the etudes - even with the way the grace notes after the trills are handled.
Varun Liszt dedicated his Sonata to Robert Schumann, and Clara could only hate it and call it “blind noise”. No wonder Liszt is more famous than the pair combined ;)
I always loved Paganini caprice no. 6!Discovering this Liszt's arrangement of such a piece is a feeling that words cannot explain. It's as all I live could easily be justified by those minutes of pure pleasure and ecstasy!
Ces morceaux sont magnifiques et très stimulants. Je souhaiterais vraiment avoir le talent de cet homme pour jouer ces pièces. Bravo à Filipec et je souhaite profondément qu'il obtienne plus de reconnaissance et de réponses du public pour son effort et sa détermination.
Seen you a lot 😂😅 good luck to you my guy, can't imagine myself learn pieces as hard as this, I'd probably stay with Chopin and Liszt's easier pieces cause in no way am I able to play pieces such as these 😂 better reason for me to make my own pieces
Listen closely to Variation 5 of the 6th etude. Although marked piano and leggiero, Filipec's choice to do the exact opposite creates a more dramatic feeling and almost a more violinistic approach. Hamelin's more faithful performance is still my favorite, but this is absolutely divine.
@@zswu31416 Yeah, but they haven't played the full, full set. Along with 1-6, Filipec also played both "versions" of 1 and 5 along with 4a which is usually ignored by most pianists.
@@thenotsookayguy does it really matter though, if the pianist has the balls and technique to play 4b then 4a and the other versions will be a piece of cake

Interesting! I've played some of these in the later revisions and I'm sure glad I did, since these versions are a whole other level above. Specifically no. 2 is way harder than the one I learned throughout certain passages. I love this version of no. 1, especially when the main theme returns and it's not just tremolos again in the left hand. Thanks for sharing!
Ahh, the astounding Paganini etudes! Also the one by Filipec - I prefer them even over Petrov's (well, some of the etudes at least). That being said both are two different approaches to the etudes. (also where is 4a lol)
C ME This is the sort of “Concert Étude” that was pioneered by Liszt and also Chopin during the 1820s and 1830s that were meant to function as really virtuosic and difficult works but also be very musical and exciting for a concert audience. This isn’t the same kind of Czerny Etude that focuses on one technique to improve it for other pieces :)
@Peter Rabitt Bullshit-if you have a relaxed wrist and hand and a sufficiently developed technique these are perfectly safe to play. If you haven't mastered Chopin's op.10/1,2,4,7,8,10,12 and op.25/6,8,10,11 and 12 and maybe one or two of the 'meatier' Transcendentals like Mazeppa (NOT Harmonies du soir, which is Number 11 btw), then you shouldn't be going anywhere near the 1838 Paganini studies. I don't know what kind of 'professional pianist' you were.
This is the first I've ever heard the S140 La Campanella, and the first thing that I noticed was its similarity with Hamelin's own Paganini Etude, much moreso than the revised S141. It's interesting that Hamelin's piece drew much more inspiration from the original than from the much more popular S141.
classicalhero7 Don’t whine about the difficulty of these pieces. These recordings are proof that they are playable by a human, and that Liszt definitely could play these. They perfectly fulfil the purpose that they were written to achieve.

This video was actually uploaded before TheExarion's but it was blocked for a long while. I don't know why it was recently unblocked but I sure am glad.
Just unbelievable! He wrote music he could play. A real difference between the 1838 set and the 1851 set. Are we sure he only had 10 fingers? Play Liszt for and octopus and we say "i could do that easy!"
' . . . and the hushed audience would witness such marvels of execution that it seemed, indeed, as if the very Devil had taken possession of him.' Funny why people tend to attribute difficult or seemingly impossible things to the Devil rather than to God.
Well a lot of the music they produced is not the calm, beautiful music youd expect from someone blessed by God, so their complete mastery of their respective instruments was thought to be caused by the devil, since their level of playing was probably seen as beyond human. Just some conjecture though
