I wish the arrangement emphasized the dominant 7th in the bass more building up to the last melodic resolve. If you understand what I'm referring to, it creates the best tension and resolution.
I know this transcription and passage well, much harder than it looks or sounds. Superb performance of it. On par with Katsaris's. (Any fans of this transcription, Katsaris is the GOAT of this piece.)
There is the one for two pianos made by Liszt and another one by Wagner (all available on IMSLP). However, this one is by far the best transcription there is.
Yes there is thewhole wonderful rendition of his encore performance which I listened to originally however the BBC or You Tube deleted it due to "copyright" etc. and this brilliant one, obviously has been re-mixed to make it shorter. Typical..............
@@fattit7598 Because it's supposed to sound like Beethoven. Liszt meant to stay true to the work of Beethoven's symphonies when he transcribed these after all
this piece was cut quite in an irrespectful way to what the pianist probably intended it to mean...look at the eu flag and the diminuendo final on the original piece...
This is definitely not the Liszt transcription. I am currently practicing the version and therefore know it inside out. Please look it up on IMSLP. This version is probably a transcription by E. Pauer. It's pretty pathetic to reinterpret the name of the arranger just to get more attention. Simply a form of bad click baiting.
Well, clearly you are not the expert you think you are, because this most certainly IS the Liszt transcription. The first link below is a pdf of the entire Liszt transcription. The part that is being played in the video above starts on page 52, bar 9. The second link is another performance of the Liszt transcription that is EXACTLY the same as the video above (part above starts at 3:52 in that video). Maybe you need more practice?! ia802305.us.archive.org/16/items/Cantorion_sheet_music_collection_2/859fdbec546c68a02e782c98f7eadb79.pdf#track_/download/693/859fdbec546c68a02e782c98f7eadb79/Symphony%20No.%209%20Liszt%20transcription%20-%20Piano%20-%20Franz%20Liszt.pdf ua-cam.com/video/RABBxkfBA6U/v-deo.html

Liszt is the king of arrangements/transcriptions
Never liked Liszt as a composer but couldn’t live without his arrangements 👍
@@matttondr9282You don’t like Liszt?!
What is this blasphemy 😡
@@matttondr9282that is imposible
That cough at 0:29 was a masterpiece
Amazing how Beethoven wrote such an incredible piece while being deaf
Liszt also needs a credit to transcript the whole symphony to piano solo.
@Gottschalk was my uncle right, he transcribed ALL of beethoven's symphonies.
He wasn’t deaf when he wrote
@@ogabs9822 he was almost deaf when he composef this
While writing this he had an ear for the keys and the music thus making it easy to him via years of honing his ears
He went deaf from sephilis.. Fun fact
This song moves like a wave, amazing!
So true.. I love this expression!
This piece not only is one of the greatest ever composed but also historically important. Some countries used it as a national anthem.
You may be forgotten...but your work stays. Thanks Ludwig Beethoven for enriching our lives with such masterpieces. Respect from India !
**tearing up**
Forgotten? Beethoven ain’t getting forgotten mate. Not until humanity die.
This an absolutely gorgeous piece of music….and so well played it brings tears to my eyes.
This bass is wonderful
Heavenly.... my dream since i was 15 was to attend the BBC Proms
Are you arabic??
@@at5665 yes
A warm opening to a bright & sparkly version
Thanks Liszt. You really made many amazing piano pieces.
People, the world over, who have no idea who Beethoven is, KNOW this music.
My favorite Beethoven piece
its liszts arrangement.

Use the force.
That's the result of +-20,000 hours of practice
Encore from First Night of the BBC Proms 2017 by Igor Levit, pianist.
I feel so happy listening to this ....love you Europe, love the UK...which you could have stayed with us. X
I wish we were staying too. Hopefully one day we'll rejoin you.
That sounds very good!
I remember watching this live on TV. What a great statement from Britain in response to imminent "brexit".
So Beautifull

Chapeau!
Is it possible to leave double like?
Liszt's transcription of Ode to Joy was much more complicated and vivacious than this.
Beautiful amazing wonderful 😍
For goodness sake STOP COUGHING!
Anybody do a PIANO concerto of the ODE to Joy? SERIOUS QUESTION
I didn't know Ryan Reynolds was a pianist
😅
Do somebody know are there some other transactions of ode to joy?
There is the one for two pianos made by Liszt and another one by Wagner (all available on IMSLP). However, this one is by far the best transcription there is.
@@augieresendiz5745 Thank you for the answer
Where is the whole performance?! I know there is one somewhere here on youtube
In this concert, this was an encore performance at the end and not the main one.
Yes there is thewhole wonderful rendition of his encore performance which I listened to
originally however the BBC or You Tube deleted it due to "copyright" etc. and this
brilliant one, obviously has been re-mixed to make it shorter. Typical..............
1:22 best part
? The entire song is the best part, what do you mean
LEVEL: BEETHOVEN
Liszt version* but it honestly sounds nothing to what Liszt would play
@@fattit7598 Because it's supposed to sound like Beethoven. Liszt meant to stay true to the work of Beethoven's symphonies when he transcribed these after all

this piece was cut quite in an irrespectful way to what the pianist probably intended it to mean...look at the eu flag and the diminuendo final on the original piece...
Link Please?
It's the national anthem of the EU....
Irrespectful isn't a word so yeah
Kaworu.
😢👍
More like Ode to restraint
Wow

An easy Liszt piece?
Not exactly. The rest of the transcription isn't.😅
This is literally two minutes of an hour long arrangement
The hardest one if you will
Who made this
What do you mean?

Dodgy to play Rise O Voices of Rhodesia at the Proms!
