    Some good choices on this list. Although IMO the most glaring omission has got to be the ending of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Sonata No.2. The coda is incredibly virtuosic and full of energy and then ends with the interlocking descending chords all the way down the keyboard followed with the recurrent motif from the piece played one last time in thunderous and triumphant fashion.

    • @rosiefay7283
      @rosiefay7283 Рік тому +1

      Some more Alkan suggestions:
      "Les Quatre Ages" 2nd movement (Quasi-Faust): IMO that sonata's best movement. IMO the 1st movement is rather poor: repetitive and too reminiscent of Chopin's B minor Scherzo.
      Symphonie Finale op39 no7
      Concerto Finale op39 no10
      I found Le chemin de fer rather disappointing.

    • @therealransu
      @therealransu Рік тому

      @@rosiefay7283 I agree with you, 2nd Mvt. is perhaps the best. I haven't listened to it at this time if I remember correctly. But what I mean by the 1st Mvt. would be the Finale, and not the whole piece, and yes it's really repetitive and understanding it's melody is quite difficult in my opinion. The Finale of the 1st Mvt. in the Sonata struck me the most, it was just really epic; expressing virtuosity and musicality at the same time in a very efficient way. The Symphonie is really good too, the 3rd Mvt. Concerto is one of my personal favorite Piano Concerto Mvts ever made next to Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto 1st Mvt. With Le Chemin de Fer, may I know why? I respect your preferences, but I'm only curious.

      @@FredericChopin-if5rn Actually, no. They're not popular for any reason. Just like Fur Elise, Pachelbel's Canon, and all those insignificant pieces that, for some reason, exploded in popularity. This list consists of only mainstream composers (Where are Medtner, Alkan, Feinberg, Godowsky?) and these pieces are of no relevance in their oeuvre (except for Appassionata). If a piece by Liszt was going to be included, why La Campanella? It pales if you compare it to a Transcendental Etude or his sonata, which are also very popular, but much greater. People are so lazy and so ignorant for not wanting to explore more of the repertoire and staying still to the same 10 pieces that everyone knows and everyone has heard for over 100 times. It pisses me off.
