An answer to this: The problem withbthis transcription is that hardly anyone in the audience will realize just how difficult this is because it just sounds so "nice"
It's not that Hamelin don't make it sound difficult. He's not the only great virtuoso that does this. He simply plays too flat and equal, without excitement. Probably he thinks technique separate from musicianship. He can hide the colors, texture and counterpoint from Alkan extremely creative piano writing. He hides all the warmness of his music too, all the tender melodies. I must admit it's extremely difficult to do that. You must be a very soul less musician to get to that level.
Hamelin plays this gorgeous transcription of Schubert's sublime Ave Maria with an amazing technique. Its no simple challenge to sustain the melody while maintaining the harmonic accompaniment...
Don't underestimate this piece. This is by far one of the hardest pieces I've ever attempted to learn, and I've been playing the piano for almost 24 years! It is devilishly difficult.
one of the best parts about hamelin's rendition of this is that he doesn't roll those 10ths in the right hand. also he really makes the 3 hand effect very pronounced
@@doglaffs7035 True a mistake, but one mistake won't kill the whole piece in its entirety. To be honest I find that the Db ending thing he did worked good in a way.
I never listen to classical. But when I do, I listen to this man right here. It's fuckin amazing, I can put myself on a natural high, and ride to heaven peacefully.
It's called practice and adaptation through mistake and repetition. You can do it, too. Provided that you have the time to devote, persistence to persevere and love enough to care... You may admire the people who can already do it because of the factors mentioned above. Not because they are talented. 😉
I don't think Hamelin played that Re b by mistake. It sounds intentional to me but maybe i'm wrong =) It's one of those characteristic pieces of Liszt that's angelic to listen to, but diabolic to play.
I agree with both of you, but also thought that the dissonance fits the song... somehow, indeed if I had not read that comment, I'd would never notice that he played a wrong note
Usually the top most staff is the vocal arrangement, but in this case it seems like the staff with the vocal notes are in the middle section. I know there are chords included but it could be indicating either a harmony, or most likely (since the chords tend to differ by an octave) an option for the vocalist to chose either the higher or lower tone :)
Siento amor en mi corazón, siento tristeza, siento fe, a la vez resignación. Es lo que me provoca esta hermosa canción de el gran compositor Schubert. Todo lo que Lizst intervino se volvió casi imposible de tocar, lo que lo hace más bello desde mi punto de vista. Muchos luchan por preservar semillas en caso del que planeta colapse; muchos quieren dejar registros arqueologicos y científicos en caso de que desaparezcamos; estoy segura que la bella música es igual de importante.
I'm not a pianist, but this performance seems to differ throughout from what is usually heard, so that the "wrong note" near the end isn't surprising. The "rubato", or lack of strict time, is also handled in an unconventional way, it seems to me. I'm delighted to hear this piece played in an inventive way.
Liszt made sure that this would become one of the most difficult transcriptions...ever, so he did not provide a set fingering for the third voice. Its all subjective...you just use whatever finger or hand is available for every voice note.
Melissa Beth Morgan if you actually contextualize it with the notes that are being played (or at rest) at the same time in the two staffs above, then the notes in the middle staff are actually very pianistic and doable.
And in spots like 3:57 and many others the middle staff is superfluous, all those notes are already found in the top or bottom staff but the middle staff is there to show the melodic sung line so the pianist knows which notes to bring out
There should be finger independence on that. In some cases you’ll have the play the melody with right hand. On some parts, the left. But it takes incredible finger control to balance the Dynamics and the Polyrhythm.
5:08 I hear it is Re b, it is the first time I heard mr.Hamelin play wrong note :( . Anyway , It's very beautiful perfomance and I love this one very much.
I see. We are both right. You are on a fixed "do" system meaning that "C" is always do. I learned a moveable "do" system meaning that whatever the tonic is, is "do". Sorry for the misunderstanding!
It's ok still cute! Does not have to be exact... Don't be that picky to show off your proficiency.... by the way "To play wrong notes is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable." - -Ludwig van Beethoven ...
Wonderful !! This is much more difficult that other (not all) Liszt virutoso pieces with fast scales, chords and arpeggios, that sound more difficult than they actually are, in this case is just the opposite.....This piece is more difficult than it appears, of course if you don't look at the score hahaha
That sounds very intentional - please notice pedalling and how he brackets whole piece with this "error"... and essentially please listen to more Hamelin's performances :-) He "stamps" many pieces.
every arpeggio can be done on 2 guitars, the slower treble melody done as a tremelo,would that LA guitar quartet might tackle the ave maria,,a la presti and lagoya.
Does anyone have the sheet music to this one? I found plenty for Gounod/Bach but not the Liszt/Schubert version. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
pattycake340 Nah, I already found it imslp.org/wiki/12_Lieder_von_Franz_Schubert,_S.558_(Liszt,_Franz) it was just in a set of 12 instead of a single work.
It's ok still cute! Does not have to be exact... Don't be that picky to show off your proficiency.... by the way "To play wrong notes is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable." - -Ludwig van Beethoven ...
I can't help thinking that Liszt himself would not have done such a lot of slushy rubato, but would have kept more purely to the original; the virtuosity just being a medium for his expression, respecting Schubert. Very good, though!
Dibald Gyfm - I think that’s where a lot of Liszt’s pieces falter personally - the technicalities can outshine the actual music, usually non-deliberately. If this is Liszt’s way of meditating, then it is very complex, to say the least lol.
That's Liszt. He never could resist a chance to make a piece more difficult and virtuosic given the opportunity. I agree that it's counterproductive to the music here. That said, this piece benefits from a decent bit of rubato, but only in the song voice. This is the sort of technique that Chopin mastered in some of his waltzes (or valses in Chopin's preferred French) where the melody is played rubato, while the accompaniment is played (almost) square. It's quite a difficult technique, since it means notes of the same written position and length won't necessarily line up, and Liszt is of course especially diabolical in putting the song voice in the middle so that each hand must play square and rubato at the same time. At least Chopin had the courtesy of writing rubato in the right hand and square in the left hand!
@@Varooooooom Well, Liszt did use the title "Études d'exécution transcendante" for a group of 12 of his studies. Given that this group includes such monstrosities as Mazeppa and Feux Follets, I'd say the language is warrented. Isn't transcendence via meditation something Buddist monks always wanted to achieve? Liszt just had a rather warped view of what meditation is!
Yes, a mistake - it makes no sense at all, and I winced when I heard it, and it does mar an otherwise flawless performance. And I don't like it better than the original.
In a piece of this sort, the harmony is fairly traditional, and extra notes that are introduced as non-harmonic notes can usually be explained in some way: they are melody notes, or they are part of decorative figuration, or have linear significance in an inner voice - or something of that sort. The C# introduced out of the blue near the end (if we ignore that it contradicts the score anyway) does not seem to meet any of these conditions, but seems randomly introduced - no doubt just because of a very rare error by Marc-Andre Hamelin. That's what I meant by it not making sense.
+Kgg KuipersGamerGames The three staffs are to be able to see the melody more clearly. It isn't impossible to play, (however, it is very hard and I couldn't do it haha) nor is it for vocals
Well, the Re b is clear, it sounds intentional, I think he wanted to play this note. This part of the piece is simple, not really fast, I don't think he played it by mistake. This is my point of view ;)
The Reb is not intentional. if you look closely at the fingering required in this bar (which is even written in the score on this video), you will see that the interpreter needs to play the downwards arpeggio, starting from the highest note, with the fingers 5-4 - - 1-2, the interval for the 1-2 being D-Bb. the next sequence is played again with 5-4--1-2, but here the interval for 2-1 is F-D which is one semitone smaller. if your concentration at the end of this piece is decreasing (because all that is left to play is a simple arpeggio, after all.....), your brain might cause your fingers to repeat a movement like placing the index finger over the thumb in the same fashion it did the first time. have a look at a piano keyboard - the distance and key position between D and Bb is exactly the same as F-Db, but you are supposed to play F-D which requires your thumb to bend a little bit more to allow your index finger to reach the D key, which is a tad closer. actually the unintentional hitting of the Db by Hamelin is what caused the louder tone. still, it is amazing how quickly a professional pianist is able to overcome such a mistake and continue playing -you need a lot of stage experience in front of an audience not to break into pieces after that.

Swell vid, and obviously swell music. But I'm most frustrated when we call it "Ave Maria." The title is Ellen's Dritter Gesang! (Ellen's Third Song) and is only called Ave Maria due to it's musical similarities of the Bach/Gounod setting of the sacred Latin prayer text "Ave Maria." and the fact that the first line of Schubert's song just happens to be a German translation of "Hail Mary" which is Ave Maria. The text is not the sacred Latin "Ave Maria" prayer but rather a German translation of an excerpt from the epic English poem "The Lady of the Lake" by Sir Walter Scott. Somewhere down the road people just started supplanting the original lyrics with the traditional Latin Ave Maria which makes the whole thing ridiculously complicated and IMO a bit of a slight to Schubert's artistic statement. Perhaps it's easier just to call it Schubert's Ave Maria however since that was not his intention and given that its really an inaccurate representation of the lyrics which are secular, it seems to me better to be precise in our labeling. At the very least putting the real title in parentheses next to the erroneous "Ave Maria" would be nice so folks don't get as obfuscated by this as I've been would be helpful. Wikipedia can clarify all this further. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ave_Maria_%28Schubert%29 In any case, some gorgeous music!
Olha, é um arranjo fenomenal, mas eu acho meio cafona, quase a la Pedrinho Mattar. Mas é bom eu ficar bem quietinho porque eu nao tenho talento nem para tocar, quanto menos para compor algo desse tipo hehehehe. :-D
