What a wonderful video tribute to Liszt... there was no one like him... he encouraged so many others... and you play wonderfully! very great talent and great heart you have! Thank you!
Liszt’s rewritings were clearly obsessive, and most of the time are not just ‘polishing’, but constitute very major changes. It seems to me he was mostly searching for the best structure - his final versions are nearly always structurally better and more satisfying as pure music than the early versions. A case in point is Mazeppa - the slow, quiet passage just before the coda, missing from the early version, really makes the work.
Thank you for the video! I have the same experience as you about getting to know other composers through Liszt's transcriptions - I would never know much about Bellini, Donizetti, Meyerbeer or Halévy without him (and what absolute geniuses they are as well!). And there are many truly obscure composers as well like Cui, Dargomizhsky, Dessauer or Mosonyi whose music Liszt also championed. His two Rubinstein Lied paraphrase-transcriptions are unbelievable as well. And his reimaginings of six Chopin Lieder are one of the most touching homages to a friend I can imagine. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts about Liszt!
@@teodorb.p.composerIndeed! And maybe also a few cigars in the afternoon 😄. When I wrote my comment, 9 months ago, I was surprised to learn about how hard and long and systematically Liszt worked, and found it really helpful, hence my comment. It corrected a misunderstanding I (and other musicians I know) had picked up along the way, and made me happy to do likewise. Except for the alcohol and cigars! 🤣
As you mention several times, Liszt hardly practiced during the last 40 years of his life. I guess that he practiced before some benefit concerts, but that's about it.
hi..love your channel.. what are the names of those books that describe their daily routine? maybe you could do an episode with your recomendation for the best biographies that you read for those famous pianists, composers...
M. Dupuis why do you leave out Bayreuth and the Steingräber und Söhne Klaviermanufaktur :( :( Everybody remembers this little town only for Wagner, the Nazis etc. but everybody seems to forget Liszt's tomb is there and his city villa. Come on man, Weimar already has the Republik and Goethe and what not
Hello ! A [16:30] je note une vraie similarité avec les réminiscences de Norma. :) ua-cam.com/video/XEkDsUrmFC4/v-deo.htmlsi=OkDdOhCDMXxlljCE&t=473 Sinon, super vidéo, très intéressante comme d'habitude, merci.
I don't understand why he was , unfortunatelly , so unhappy to the end of his life . He did have a great life and work . He was also dissapointed with tyhe level of public understanding , that's why he gave up concerting in his early years .
I think liszt is less popular than chopin because liszt is sometimes really hard and annoying to listen to. Also i also think chopin had a much bigger influence on later composers, especially when it comes to harmony and Jazz. Even though liszt’s later pieces where quite interesting, in regard‘s of harmony, but again very unpleasant to listen, except of maybe sancta dorothea. Liszt was criticized even in his own days to be a composer that brings nothing new.
very interesting, really very crazy exercises 🤣🤣, I heard some studies by Brahms a few days ago and they are somewhat scary 👻👻, but it still looks like a great study method, greetings and many successes

SEND SUPER STICKERS TO SUPPORT THE CHANNEL 😊🙏
So, Piano manufacturers and builders sent him pianos. Liszt was the first piano influencer.
Exactly 😊
One of the most informal and important youtube videos I have ever seen! Thank you, this is just superb!
Thanks a lot 😊🙏

Thank you
I'm really enjoying your videos. Loved the Chopin one, which brought me to this one. So much interesting information. Thank you!
So glad!
If I drank that much in a day I wouldn’t be able to find the piano in my house, let alone play it.
😂😂😂same for me

I have played liszt 700 and had more a feeling of polishing things

Thank for your comment 😊
🎹 A note to everyone: Do watch this - it's packed full with great information! 🎹
Sebastien, I found all this information incredibly interesting and maybe even practically useful. Thank you!
Thank you for your nice comments 😊🙏
Yes, mainly drinking 2 bottles of cognac and 3 bottles of wine a day is very practically usefull!
@@teodorb.p.composerIndeed! And maybe also a few cigars in the afternoon 😄.

Grand! Thank you!
Extraordinary!!!
Idk what those people were saying, you’re an excellent pianist!
Thanks, people always have some critic, 😊🤷🏻♂️
Liszt drank MUCH more Cognac in a day than I've drunk in over fifty years 😬.
(11:24 I'm also in a non-drinking phase at the moment).
Yeah thats really crazy 😂
Merci sincèrement pour toutes vos vidéos.
Merci aussi 😊
Brilliant, interesting. I read Alen Walker 3 volumes biography. Yes. An amazing pianist. Person.
3 vol? There are 2 no?
@@horoffra There are 3. By him. On Liszt, yes.
10:31 I didn't know that he was an alcoholic lol, maybe that's one of the reasons of why he could compose crazy pieces
Maybe 😂
Wonderful! This is a must to watch!!!
Thank you, feel free to share 😊🙏
what's name of piece on 7:19 ?
Feux follets
@@horoffra thank you very much
Wow Sebastien, thank you so much for the great video! All of this is much appreciated. Dare I say, Rachmaninoff next?
Yes Rachmaninoff next 😊
Great video!!
🙏

Bonjour, excellente vidéo, pourais-je avoir la référence de votre chemise? Je la trouve magnifique. Merci
C‘est versace jeans couture, rococo
@@horoffra Merci bien
I think he had an Ibach upright in his apartment with the Bechstein grand, not a Bösendorfer.
Ah yes exactly 😊
A comment for your daily routine 🙂. Thank you for the interesting videos you share
HI, I really enjoyed this video. could you give me a link to the book you have about the composers schedule. I would really like to read it. Thanks
Its a book in german called mein kreatives pensum 😊
Thank you.@@horoffra
hi..love your channel.. what are the names of those books that describe their daily routine? maybe you could do an episode with your recomendation for the best biographies that you read for those famous pianists, composers...
Good idea, I have a video on this edition, its Editio Musica Budapest, and best biography is by Alan Walker
I’m such a nerd for Liszt
Are you?
@@horoffra I mean like I find him really intresting
@@zanderallan4373 ah thats great 😊
Liszt gives me a massive clue
Whata your fav lizst piece
Difficult to say, so many 😊
same Liszt etude I'm working on...
The 10?
@@horoffra No... No 5 ""Feux Follets" !
M. Dupuis why do you leave out Bayreuth and the Steingräber und Söhne Klaviermanufaktur :( :(

Come on man, Weimar already has the Republik and Goethe and what not
Caus the video is short and you cannot talk about Everything
ah fair enough @@horoffra
What is this book called you got your information from sir? Thank you.
Its a book in german called mein kreatives pensum 😊
Is this your library? I never met a person who has bigger music (scores) library? Are you living in Europe?
Yes it is and yes i am, swizerland
@@horoffra Great. I live in Sweden. I also have big library but yours is bigger.
Liszt probably got a letter or two from Thalberg saying pretty much the same as the internet trolls….. “Dear Franz,
Your trills suck
Your pal,
Sigi”
Haha yes maybe

Merci 😊 j’adore norma
Have to tryed transposing harmonic motive ? You can spend hours on this...
Not very useful
@@horoffra
Tu pourrais être surpris...
Comprendre le systeme harmonique et très enrichissant. Que fait il sur les accord diminué ? Par ex...
I suppose only Mussorgsky is a drinking match
I don't understand why he was , unfortunatelly , so unhappy to the end of his life . He did have a great life and work . He was also dissapointed with tyhe level of public understanding , that's why he gave up concerting in his early years .
Two of his children died, he could not mary the princes withenstein etc
um ok
Are you french ? I have the impression that i spoke to you one day...in real life I mean
I am belgian, could be, where?
Czerny has made more works than Liszt
How many pages?
@@horoffra Dont know but 861 Opuses
@@Bozzigmupp ok, one opus is sometimes more than one work? So difficult to compare.

Seems you really dont know liszt and his musoc very well, I really disagree, do some more research you will see.
very interesting, really very crazy exercises 🤣🤣, I heard some studies by Brahms a few days ago and they are somewhat scary 👻👻, but it still looks like a great study method, greetings and many successes
Wich exercises?
