He actually made them so that no one but himself could play them, later he realised if he wanted his works to be remembered, others would have to be able to play them. So Liszt spent a lot of his later years revising and simplifying his old work.
"I already had an impossible preconceived notion of Liszt’s immense pianistic genius.

Bernhard Stavenhagen's piano roll recording of Liszts Hungarian Rhapsody 12 may be the closest to hearing how liszt played. Bernard was one of Liszts favorite students, and heard Liszt play many times. In the recording, he wrote that he specifically played it like how he heard Liszt play it. It's indeed exhilarating, even for being a piano roll.

*And here we have one of Liszt beginner pieces, truly a work of art. He has been known to compose pieces that no mortal could play, but here is on that catches the eye of beginners.*
This is the first time I've heard the galop being played with the right amount of bravura and tour de force! Great performance of an obscure concert piece!
@@georges3349 I mean technically yeah but it's not a quantifiable word. You can say the performance was a tour de force but you can't say that the performance had tour de force.
@Alexander Scriabin It's generally true, but not when we speak about playing Liszt, I guess. If you think the contrary, I would really enjoy to be given an example of great Liszt played by Kissin !
@@martindeboer8891 It's actually easier since one octave is on black keys and they're closer together. The syncopation can be overcome with subdivision.
While listening to this piece, I am sweeping my dreams of becoming a pianist off the floor. In all seriousness, Liszt was a boss! Great content on this channel, thanks for sharing.
Wow i really fell in love with this piece. Simple in form but hard in difficulty. Just as you would expect it from Liszt. I love the melody too. It's light and refreshing. Thank's Rousseau for showing.
I love this piece, very silly, very fun - and at the same time quite forward-looking harmonically. However, for once I must say that here I don't enjoy Clidat's playing as much as I usually do. The pulse is sometimes so uneven that sometimes the rhythm and the beat gets distorted - maybe she is playing it a little bit too fast. I pretty much always love Clidat - but for this piece I actually prefer Howard, by some margin (which doesn't happen too often for me:). Still a very entertaining performance, thanks for the upload.
Thats easy, even to play. If you want to know a piece that's I can't even visualize how are you supposed to approach it, it's Prokofiev's second piano concerto.
Extraordinarily fast. Clidat takes the 'skate' approach - minimise power, for speed. A really challenging piece, like one of the lesser-known peaks (off Mount Mephisto), in the Liszt Himalaya.
In my opinion the most difficult part comes soon after, around 4:00. The coordination with the trills and lower line in the RH and voicing that appropriately so the trills aren’t overpowering, along with the polyrhythms are a bit harder than the other trill parts.
France Clidat (1er prix Budapest) était rentrée dans des doigts de son maître adoré F Liszt. Une intégrale (6 vol) épuisée je crois sans les transcriptions et paraphrases qu’elle considérait comme trop monumentales pour une seule vie! Éblouissante !
A ferocious and admirable interpretation, but there's something to Leslie Howard's straightforward and bulky approach which takes the crown for this piece. Perhaps the best of Liszt's underappreciated romps ever.
rober Acevedo Rousseau ranked it as the 6th hardest piano piece ever, but that doesn’t make sense. Compared to Liszt’s (and other more difficult composers’) other things, this is a cakewalk That being said, it would take a long time to learn this anyways (not too long though. Maybe a few months)
This piece is very modernistic in it's own way. ut here it's not like in other Liszt's pieces, where he skipped his time, but it's more his own interesting, original style, that is irreplacable.
Rousseau made a top 10 hardest pieces video, but admited the pieces in the video weren't close to being the hardest, so in the comments he made a very descriptive top 10 hardest pieces in his opinion. I think this was at number 4 or something. You can check the other ones out in his video.

4:20 __**HUNGARY INTENSIFIES**__

He was a pupil of Franz Liszt and that was written in 1911 so I wouldn't be surprised :)
Just getting through this and finishing at the same metronome tempo as you started would be an accomplishment!
Wow, and I thought Grand Galop Chromatique was hard. Fantastic piece by the way. It would be nice to hear an orchestra play this lol.
