A bit strange this list is. Rautavaara is in fact quite euphonious (certainly more so, than Feinberg e.g.), especially in this particular piece. Also the Mozart example is what most non-classical trained people would associate with "classical boredom" (though I personally *do* like this piece, despite its infamous popularity)
I've made so many mistakes in this video... I'm contemplating taking it down, but it's already got 1000 views and plus, I don't have the original file anymore
@@epointerwinboie the composer whose most famous pieces are literally piano gamelan, Chopin on steroids and variations on Schubert's melody, tbh your observation makes sense
The performer for number 10 is such a legend 😅 To be willing to play that and scream at the score paper in front of a classical audience deserves some respect and I thought he really did the piece justice. Really cool video!
3:52 - Since we have this now, we can burn all of Beethoven's, Mozart's and Schubert's piano sonatas. Let's listen and sing along with this wonderful tune.
First time I read Ravel's Valses Nobles et Sentimentales I checked at least 10 times the opening chords just to make sure I was reading well. These chords just make sense when you play the valse in one go, but individually they are absolutely uncanny.
I was really laughing out loud when I saw that synthesia video of the Finnissy piece😂 Thats usually something you’d associate with an Einaudi piano piece…
The more the level goes high, it starts to sound more avant-garde. mostly some pieces that are so dissonant entered the 20th century including ravel and debussy. What a big step
I enjoyed the Finissey. While it's certainly at least freely atonal, it's not hugely dissonant (and thus not worthy of the #9 spot) because there are very few chords. The vast majority of it is two lines or sometimes just one line played by two hands.
I really enjoyed this video just as a brief glimpse into the world of different composers, some of whom I wasn't too familiar with (Scriabin), some who I hadn't heard of at all (Gliere). I feel inspired to check some of them out now in more depth. Well, if I'm being honest, I really enjoyed this video up until #9. It's very telling that this is the only piece not performed by a human-- it's just a midi file plugged into an app.
Mozart has composed a quartet subtitled the dissonances. at the end, it's noise. You could quote Boulez.. but modern music is not dissonant but with different scales
i love how the assistant of the last guy is just standing there in shock wondering what the hell is happening but still turning the pages for him.. shes like: "idk whats happening but i love it lemme help"
This is tame stuff....Xenakis (e.g. Synaphai) would be several levels about 10. Even Messaien's Turangalila Symphony has some really juicy dischords. Level 10 was more bizarre than anything else. Always happy to see/hear Scriabin PS8.
Take almost any of Keith Jarrett's solo piano improvised concertos, wait the first couple of minutes of deceptively nice music and here you are, generously served with dissonance. He calls that aural sculptures, not adding they feel like made of barbed wire, not white marble.
As a rule of thumb as a composer. Dissonance in upper register usually wouldn’t sound that bad. Also, if there are other elements like easily recognizable rhythm, dynamics, activity, etc. It also wouldn’t be that bad. In the world of contemporary music, if you can find predominantly traditional note head, it’s a sign that the piece isn’t that bad. This is as if someone say, they’ll love Maths if it stays with number, but they lost in when English alphabets start to appears.
I've often thought an orchestra tuning up could easily be mistaken for a 20th century avant- guard piece. It was a brave but ultimately not enduringly popular movement.
imma be real level 8 sounds more consonant than level 5-7 prolly cause the only real dissonant part there are the right-hand/arm part clusters (and the outer voices of said cluster is still a fairly listenable melody too)
I remember some years ago a recording was made from a collection of snatches of unrelated recordings, for no apparent reason. As the dissonance increased on these piano pieces I was reminded of that recording. Are these dissonance piano music just produced just to say look I can produce horrible music, get pianists to play it, and the gullible to pay and waste their lives lives to listen to it 🧟

Hi sir I am desperately searching for a rare piece of piano from Howard Goodall. It’s a piano piece (very modern!!) that you will find during the intro of the documentary titled Carl Jung wisdom of the dream. Maybe you have heard of it? Thank you.
You chose the most listenable of the late Scriabin sonatas and the most listenable of Sorabji pieces. Also Rautavaara PC 1 should be a lot lower because although the chords are cluster chords, the voicing and the melody still lies in the outer octave, with the in-between notes more just existing for color. I think a more accurate progression would be Rautavaara PC 1 Scriabin sonata 6 or 7 Maybe something Messiaen, but I can’t tell if this is above or below Sorabji Sorabji Opus Clavicembalisticum/Archimagicun cadenza Finnissy anything
i never understood, are those pieces by sorabji, finnissy, etc written for actual listening/playing? or are those just joke pieces? can someone please explain it to me lmao
Interesting video, but why zlmost only piano works ? Consonance and dissonance can be differently percieved with sustained sounds (organ, orchestra...)
Wonderful rank! I don't understand why musicians makes those types of music. Especially the last one, it's just noise. No harmony whatsoever. Make more of these types of ranks, please!
I feel like the last piece was more of a joke. I have struggled to enjoy this "noise" music, but lately I have had a breakthrough with the Feinberg sonata, which I thoroughly enjoyed surprisingly. Thanks for the comment!
I think thats quite serious…It is raw emotion. Thats what music is all about. I remember listening to Widmanns viola concerto for the first time. That scream was a nice climax to that building tension.
For the last piece it would be quite interesting to hear it played on piano with poor intonation. I would bet, most ppl would be able to hear the difference. 👽

Also, I can't believe I accidentally put an "I'', in concerto, silly me.
dude u literally spelt her name as lititsa like wtf
Concierto is just a non-english spelling, it’s an acceptable mistake to make
And yet it was still a very successful video either way
It's the Spanish spelling
A bit strange this list is. Rautavaara is in fact quite euphonious (certainly more so, than Feinberg e.g.), especially in this particular piece. Also the Mozart example is what most non-classical trained people would associate with "classical boredom" (though I personally *do* like this piece, despite its infamous popularity)
Last one is not by Concert Creator A.I but played by Kentaro Noda. He deserves credit for even attempting this piece in front of people.

@@Jartious you said this but didn't heart your second reply lmao
Fattar inte
When you're trying to compose something original but all the good melodies are already taken:
I feel it bro
Godowsky never had that problem tbu, his compositions always sounded fresh and new
pfft, Ling Ling is disappointed..
@@epointerwinboie the composer whose most famous pieces are literally piano gamelan, Chopin on steroids and variations on Schubert's melody, tbh your observation makes sense
@@rodnaskel2123 still incredibly unique to me
The performer for number 10 is such a legend 😅 To be willing to play that and scream at the score paper in front of a classical audience deserves some respect and I thought he really did the piece justice. Really cool video!
The page turner was scared 😭😭
I honestly liked all of it until 9. Well, 10 is probably the greatest thing that has ever blessed humanity’s ears.
4:15 Sounds like he’s shouting in Finnish ”saatana saatana saatana”, which is quite common curse, translates into ”god damn” repeatedly.
Level 9 sounds like aliens contacting us.
1:09 “I know you’re watching this Xnad!”
you’re welcome
That Rautavaara concerto is an absolute banger! For such a dissonant work I found it to be quite accessible!
Me too honestly
yeah and honestly most of it is not that dissonant very tonal work overal
Finnissy is truly the God of "using a cat to compose" Imo
The jump in dissonance from mazeppa to Scriabin 8 is insane lmao
Omg yeah glad someone pointed it out 😭
stop getting so emotional
3:52 - Since we have this now, we can burn all of Beethoven's, Mozart's and Schubert's piano sonatas. Let's listen and sing along with this wonderful tune.
Scriabin's 8th is so fucking great.
So is William Schuman's 8th.
That last pianist was on some crack.😂
Mozart approves!
U gonna finish ur last symphony or what
Go away Wolfgang, we don’t have any booze for you.
And do you know your Figaro piece had been arranged by Liszt💀
First time I read Ravel's Valses Nobles et Sentimentales I checked at least 10 times the opening chords just to make sure I was reading well. These chords just make sense when you play the valse in one go, but individually they are absolutely uncanny.
'The Devil's Staircase' by Ligeti is one of my favourites for dissonant piano. Amazing video
03:14, New excuse: Forearm not big enough😂
I was really laughing out loud when I saw that synthesia video of the Finnissy piece😂
Thats usually something you’d associate with an Einaudi piano piece…
a somewhat dissonant piece i actually enjoy listening to is rzewskis the poeple united will never be defeated
I'll check it out!
@@Jartious The cotton mill blues is an especially strong movement.
Rzewski is brilliant
that piece is one of my favourites at the moment, I recommend Hamelin's recording :)
3:08 That Scared The F-k Out Of Me 😭😭
Seen and approved, although the rabbit hole goes deeper still.
Yeah I know, this is very general. Could you give me some links to the deeper areas? I'm curious.
I prefer level 10 to level 9 honestly
Yeah, honestly level ten was probably composed as a joke
The guy at level 10: I paid for the whole piano, so I’ll use the whole piano
The more the level goes high, it starts to sound more avant-garde. mostly some pieces that are so dissonant entered the 20th century including ravel and debussy. What a big step
idk why but the ending of level 10 completely cracks me up
It's so unexpected
4:17 bro has beef with the score
As Charles Ives said "Stand up and take your dissonance like a man".
Exactly 😂
The most dissonant piece i've ever listened to was Le regard des anges by O. Messian. It's lvl 11 in your list 😅
NODAAAAA HERE WE GO
Hi doctor
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, don´t blink or you will miss it, 7, 6, 8, 9, 10
I honestly don't know why this video is doing so well. Quality wise, it's sub zero 😭
Level 10 is insane 😅😅
I enjoyed the Finissey. While it's certainly at least freely atonal, it's not hugely dissonant (and thus not worthy of the #9 spot) because there are very few chords. The vast majority of it is two lines or sometimes just one line played by two hands.
Last guy was dying to take a piss
I like how the assistant retreated briskly after turning each page - thank you for posting this... I think :-)

rautavaara's PC 1 is a geniune masterpiece
That last one... she turns the page, then gets out of there FAST!
(especially when he starts barking like a dog)
A suggestion: ten levels of pieces that are meant to be played by one hand
Will definitely consider. If I do I'll credit you!
@@Jartious Thanks! I would love to see alkan's op 76 and hamelin's 7th etude
Feinberg's Sonata started being interesting at the beat drop
10 levels of PIANO dissonance. there is so much more between semitones ;) I like listening to a safe 6-7 mostly, although my music is more 8
I am not sure I hear "dissonance". I think I hear Art!
It is dissonance, and it is art. Dissonance is beautiful
Gorguts - Forgotten Arrows is just the right level of dissonance for me
That Rautavaara concerto is so damn epic
bur where pkrokofiev dissonances?😭
And beautiful. Everything he wrote was majestic yet very dissonant
Mozart has composed a quartet subtitled the dissonances. at the end, it's noise. You could quote Boulez.. but modern music is not dissonant but with different scales
i love how the assistant of the last guy is just standing there in shock wondering what the hell is happening but still turning the pages for him.. shes like: "idk whats happening but i love it lemme help"
Cleanly, without errors I can only play the last piece.
This is tame stuff....Xenakis (e.g. Synaphai) would be several levels about 10. Even Messaien's Turangalila Symphony has some really juicy dischords. Level 10 was more bizarre than anything else. Always happy to see/hear Scriabin PS8.
my question is, does the sheet music in the last one clarifies what pitch you should scream in? or does it just say SCREAM!!!!
level 9 is so magical
Galina Ustvolskaya deserves to be here and take 8.5
im at 0:13 rn and am expecting some sort of stravinsky throughout this vid (i have high expectations)
ok just finished watching, realized it was all piano pieces, now im dissapointed...
@@ahmadsho3a I'm sorry, I am mainly a piano channel 😅 Feel free to dislike I guess
@@Jartious nahhh broo, im joking, the vid was awesome,
Forty-thousand years of evolution and we've barely even tapped the vastness of human potential...
The last pianist is a Japanese pianist named Kenichiro Noda. Unfortunately, he became more famous for blew up with internet than for his piano.
its funny how the last one is complete and utter chaos and then it just ends on a short, happy, non-dissonant major chord
Take almost any of Keith Jarrett's solo piano improvised concertos, wait the first couple of minutes of deceptively nice music and here you are, generously served with dissonance. He calls that aural sculptures, not adding they feel like made of barbed wire, not white marble.

This is as if someone say, they’ll love Maths if it stays with number, but they lost in when English alphabets start to appears.
Where are Webern and Boulez?
Ligeti, Bartok, Messiaen, Xenakis....
That guy at the end can literally play black midi tracks
I've often thought an orchestra tuning up could easily be mistaken for a 20th century avant- guard piece. It was a brave but ultimately not enduringly popular movement.
I’d never lose interest in level 10
More vids like this please !
Whoa, Level 10 even had a voice part!
Composers like Messiaen, Boulez, Stockhausen, Ligeti and Xenakis are missing in my opinion.
I only had 10 spots 🤷♂️. Maybe I could do a 20 levels one day
i dont even know what dissonance is but this video is great
The last one reminded me of Elton John-
Great finish
The last one is literally me at 5 years old trying to be virtuoso
Atonal, tone cluster ...
Level11. Anything for Piano by Stockhausen.
I know you're watching this xnad!
imma be real level 8 sounds more consonant than level 5-7
prolly cause the only real dissonant part there are the right-hand/arm part clusters (and the outer voices of said cluster is still a fairly listenable melody too)
3:51 Béla Bartók, is it you? 😳

How could you forget microtones! Poppe's Rad, Schnittke's quintet....
I genuinely enjoyed this. And btw, only intellectuals enjoy level 9 or 10.
Why the elistism
I think lovers of comedy would also love nº 10.

Maybe something Messiaen, but I can’t tell if this is above or below Sorabji
Sorabji Opus Clavicembalisticum/Archimagicun cadenza
Finnissy anything
Why use mid recordings for the pieces?
The title of piece number 10 is "Regan Meets Damien: True Love, at Last!", I believe?
Lmao
schoenberg?
“This thing”
Ai превразашел всю популярную эстраду. Браво
Это скорее из-за качества эстрады)

i never understood, are those pieces by sorabji, finnissy, etc written for actual listening/playing? or are those just joke pieces? can someone please explain it to me lmao
They self entertain
Interesting video, but why zlmost only piano works ? Consonance and dissonance can be differently percieved with sustained sounds (organ, orchestra...)
so I am either be a level 1 or a 10 but nothing in between
Is the 4th movement from Chopin sonata Op.35 dissonant too?
level 10 should be “Piano Sonata No. 2” by Pierre Boulez
Wonderful rank! I don't understand why musicians makes those types of music. Especially the last one, it's just noise. No harmony whatsoever. Make more of these types of ranks, please!
