Alkan 12 Etudes in all Major Keys, Op.35 - No.7 in E Flat Major

[@diatonicdissonance]

7:20 alkan: "oh ? what's that ? you're learning about four part SATB harmony in university ? well here's six part harmony noob gg get rekt"
the staves: "am i a joke to you ?"

I wish we could hear this in the concert hall a bit more. It's so underrated (and probably unknown) by most professional pianists. A brilliant etude, which I feel is a great piece of programme music.

[@andrewpianojunkie]

Too difficult and daunting to play it life!

8:54 definitely taken from Beethoven's Opus 27, No. 1, when the adagio returns before the coda.

[@MrFartyman44]

Man those scales going up the keyboard in the middle section sound so good. Played very well I mean

[@ruskibeaner5983]

lmao he really needed to remind us that it's indeed alkan composing at the all moderato section, just in case we were skeptical with that adagio section

[@LudwigDeLarge]

9:18 I hear the ten bell hits from Beethoven's Opus 110 here ! Just before the inverted fugue.

[@alwatsonpianist]

Superb interpretation. Luscious tonal quality!!!

[@Dylonely_9274]

Underrated masterpiece

[@FirstPublicChannel]

Chopin's Ballade No.2

[@RicAbapo]

Surprised nobody pitched in that it might be inspired from Mozart's Sonata, so I'll be that person. 😂

[@nimrodshefer3649]

Which one

[@ricardo713]

The one in A major. The 3rd mvt of it is the famous Alla Turca. נימרוד שפר

[@MusicWithDan]

Also, the opening melody uses the first bar of Bach’s Siciliano from Sonata BWV 1031.

[@andrewpianojunkie]

Fiendish!!!!!

[@ricardo713]

Inspired by Bach
