Liszt - La romanesca, S252b (Pierdomenico)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- The imitation of all things Spanish was staple fare for many decades in the nineteenth century, and music with a Spanish flavour eventually became a good deal more popular than any truly Spanish art- or folk-music, with famous offerings by Bizet, Rimsky-Korsakov, Moszkowski, Chabrier, Glinka and Lalo, to name a few at random. La romanesca is a Spanish dance melody which used to be strangely ascribed to Italy in various Liszt catalogues; Liszt published his first elaboration of it as a ‘fameux air de danse du seizième siècle’ [‘famous dance tune of the sixteenth century’] in 1840. The second version which followed in 1852 and is played here, recomposes several parts and the whole thing is more nostalgically viewed.

A remarkably Rachmaninoff-esque section begins from 6:04 (!)
Very beautiful, in the spirit of "La Leggerezza"
Liszt’s ability to create crazy variations of a simple melody is unbelievable!
The part at 5:13 - 5:40 is just beautiful, eye-catching and so colorful... words just can't seem to describe it, it feels like fine wine that's aged in a barrel... it's old, but fragrant; mature, yet full of flavor. Granted, I've never tasted wine before, but it just.. feels like it..
Sounds the same as the rest of the piece
@@11D7-n8d That shows you don’t really have the suited taste for Liszt's works.
@@trvm1 I could just never specifically find interest in this particular piece
@@11D7-n8d I see.
Hey, I have a question . Apparently liszts Tannhäuser Overture transcription is so difficult that Liszt had to take breaks throughout because the stamina required was just insane. Is this true ??
Jack Marentette Other pianists possibly but I don’t believe Liszt would have had a problem playing any piece that there was for the piano then.
there is a recording made by cziffra on yt look it up, since he was probably the closes if not equal in tehnique to liszt i dont really think he would have problems playing it live, except if it was played at the very end of his recital where hed be allready tired which wouldnt be surprising considering what he played in his recitals.
I agree. Hard to believe Liszt didn't have the stamina... maybe when he was in his 70s, ha.
Check out Cziffra's recording of Tannhauser. It is truly unbelievable! He recorded it twice I think. Listen to the 1959 recording. I don't see how it could be played any better. The stamina there? Geez.
The CD has the Bartok piano concerto on it.
mwworkman I certainly will check it out !
If liszt was tired, likely he would have improvised or truncated sections. This was an era before recordings, so strict adherence to the score was a lot less common.

Listening this for the first time, just two minutes into this piece and I love it. Thanks Andrei!
Old video yes, but I had a question regarding Liszt Spanish output. Obviously in the catalogues, there's Contrabandista, this, the Fantasy, and the Rhapsody. Then there's also S. 695c, but i was wondering if S.540, Gastibelza, is also based off Spanish themes?
Gastibelza is a piano transcription of Liszt's setting (for bass voice and piano) of a poem by Victor Hugo, a dramatic "character sketch" with a touch of the grotesque:

As the melody had to fit the French words, I doubt that Liszt drew directly on any existing tunes.
The first two lines, especially the first six bars are unbelievable and incredible to me. Simple yes, but filled with immeasurable beauty and puts me in trance like state, and gives me an earworm every single time I hear it.
That those opening lines harken back to Liszt's dear friend Chopin's Mazurka Op. 24 No. 2 is also a plus!
Imagine creating this tho
Beautiful and famous melody
thanks for the video! ^^
Quelle merveilleuse romance fluide d’apparence facile toute aquatique en dehors de tous les albums connus !
The Romanesca is a popular bassline progression that is found all over music which originated from neopolitan/italian baroque composers, and. The most famous example is Canon in D by Pachabell. If you listen carefully you can briefly hear it in Beethoven's Fur Elise. This "La Romanesca" song Liszt transcribed was using that bassline progression most likely.
Thank you ! Nice playing !
Lovely performance from a wonderful CD. Thanks for choosing this version to post! :-)
A very beautiful piece. Thank you for posting this !
Une danse de cour espagnole du XVIème siècle, adaptée pour la guitare par Fernando Sor, puis pour le piano sans excès de virtuosité par Liszt.Tres belle interpretation.
I really like the textures he brings between 4:25 and 5:12 I feel like they in the same time some uncertainty and some lightness to the theme
Bravo
This is definetly THE BEST CHANNEL OF UA-cam
Thank you :D
꽃보다남자를 보기 전에 이 곡을 알았더라면 얼마나 좋았을까
Spanish Liszt fan in here!
Nice
what a genius

What an exquisite piece. Damn, it wouldn't be Liszt without ending it with a bang. It reminds me of how he ended Études d'exécution transcendante d'après Paganini S140 - No.5 étude in E major. (longer version).
Yet often he ended pieces very quietly, sometimes giving a louder option as well. See: Die drei Zigeuner and the Aida (Verdi) paraphrase for good examples of that. And the wonderfully rapt, inconclusive end to Wagner's March to the Holy Grail -- which includes other themes from Parsifal as well -- is magical.
Samen met "Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude" het mooiste van Franz Liszt!
