- 10 Levels of Alkan Piano Pieces
Sorry for the long wait! I was busy with exams and stuff...
It was very hard to find consistent pieces with Alkan, so some rankings may be too extreme. But I do like his piano pieces :)
Discord Server: / discord
Videos I used:
• Alkan: Barcarolle from...
• Hamelin plays Alkan - ...
• Ch.V. Alkan - Le chemi...
• Charles-Valentin Alkan...
• Le Preux, Op.17 (Alkan...
• Alkan 25 preludes op.3...
• Charles-Valentin Alkan...
The second piece, is supposed to be “mad woman” not “made” sorry!
not only that, but also prière du soir not prire du soire
(edit) : XD
I've been waiting for this video.. it's actually better than I expected it to be, Le Festin D'esope and Le Chemin de Fer really are crazy pieces, props to you for doing your research for this video!
8:39 Imagine sitting in the chair for 49:59 MINUTES
8:39Well honestly that part is wow beautiful
Check full. It has beautiful parts everywhere!
Concerto for solo piano ❤️
Really happy to see some "easy" pieces which we do not see often.
I think the 7 fingers part of op15 no 1 would be an interesting kind of difficulty to present, because that part seems so easy to the ear.
Thank you very much. I have searched this video
my whole life!
Alkan turned a solo piano etude (Concerto for solo piano) into a whole another level.
I can hear bell percussion at this part 8:39,
Also beautiful
The first piece is just beautiful
one of my favorite virtuoso❤
All pieces are wonderful and beautiful
Fun fact: the level ten piece has a triple sharp. Try to find it ;)😊
Yep, in the LH :)
@@acactus2190isn't that just evil?
Alkans harmonies are almost identical to chopins, especially in the concerto for solo piano , but the texture and technique is just deadly
Not identical... Alkan's are way more original, unconvent, modernistic and stunning!
アルカンはこの曲で部分的に全音階を使用しています。間違いなく比類なきロマン派の巨匠です。
Great video as always! "Made Woman" prelude can be the prelude of the style of Henry Cowell?
What about op.39 no.1 And op.39 no.3? They feature devilish tempo markings with the first marking Prestissimente and the third being Prestissimo
Comme Le vent is probably between 9 and 10, and the third is a bit lower than 9
What recording is the March? It sounds fantastic!
OMG THE CONCERTO
I would like to see a video about 10 levels of Bach's piano (actually harpichord) pieces
Or organ
@@AndreaColombo-fx1wh or clavichord
Just curious where you would put the first movement of Alkan's sonatine-I can't seem to find any difficulty rankings with it so I don't know what pieces I should try next.
OMG 😳
NaIce
The first one would actually be playable for me 😮 (probably)
10 levels of etudes
Le preux is definitely harder than the solo concerto. I played both.
bruh your repertuar is amazing
Really?
@@happypiano4810 Yeah
At this point it depends on the performer
If your piano sounds like a sorting algorithm, you might be playing Alkan.
you just don't understand music, Alkan music was very original artistic, pioneering and genial.
😀
После Варварского аллегретто фа-диез минор ор.39-10 из Концерта для фортепиано соло (1857) надо ещё его соль-диез-минорную 1 часть Allegro assai на 84 страницы, 1343 такта, в сонатной форме с двойной экспозицией и разработкой из 9 ходов!)))
Также перед фа-диез-минорной прелюдией "Вечерняя молитва" ор.31-4 (1847) я бы ещё вставила прелюдию в дорийском или гиподорийском ладу от "ре" из цикла "8 маленьких прелюдий на 8 церковных ладов" (1864) - там практически все прелюдии в форме периода, редко в простой двухчастной, как раз самый простой цикл Алькана))) Или можно ещё эскиз соль минор (хотя, если быть точной, во фригийском ладу от "ре") "Маленькая ария в старинном стиле" ор.63-26 (1861) на тему еврейской мелодии к Рош ха-Шана - также одной из самых простых произведений Алькана, в простой двухчастной форме)))
concerts of ravel please
i am trying scherzo diabolico...maybe a 7 on this list, its kinda manageable...i think i better stop there.
al kan
WE NEED SORABJI LIST
Why did you use hamelin's recording for 39-12?? his recording is sloppy (too fast) and in general less musical than gibbons
Personally I like his interpretation on the piece
Listen to his Hyperion recording. If you don’t want to buy it I can email it to you
Are you sure it’s prire du soir?
Prière (prayer)
2nd level is so scary
Yep, it’s in my scariest piano pieces video!
Scherzo focoso ?
Hot joke?
Who’s harder: Alkan or Liszt?
Liszt without a doubt has harder pieces, but Alkan's "hard pieces" are probably on average more difficult than Liszt's "hard pieces".
@@loganm2924 I agree. Like, Liszt, imo, tried harder in seeming hard, and his pieces generally are, more than actually being generally harder, which I think is more because he was way more in the public eye than alkan was, who was way more withdrawn.
On avg Alkan’s pieces are harder technically, but Liszt’s hardest pieces are normally harder.
Liszt, because there some music in it
@@orgue2999you said liszt cuz You are just a fan
Made woman?
Made woman lmao.
Dw about it 🤫
Not a single melody that i like lol
Try faust sonata or the incident at the village etude maybe youll like them
It may be a matter of habit. I liked no piece of Alkan at the beginning, but now, after years hearing his music, I like almost every melody and keep discovering.
I don't think there is Alkan's piece I liked at my first hearing, whereas today these are my favorite pieces that I can listen to without getting bored.
