HAHAHA 😂😂😂

he he he ha

HeHeHeHa

yes !! :)

sup

Jejejeja grrrrr

And before Scarbo of course

@@akadetrorjk -are you supernatural? Had did you figure out? I actually play Gaspard ( Ondine-Le Gibet Scarbo) 1st---but, I was shredding my hands doing this before the other 2 too many days consecutively.

@@tedallison6112 Yeah, I was like this too in my first month of playing, you'll figure it out

@@akadetrorjk-right & I'm SO sure you can play this repertoire too!

And after played Liszt sonata before petroushka

yes !! :)

yes !! :)

With this tempo and of course of pogorelichs amazing playing it has much more clarity imo and certain voices are much easier to destinguish.

well that dynamic change seemed like the only tasteful interpretation he made, the rest was just extra loud, i guess since it was a live performance and he felt it suited

His more recent renditions will take even greater liberties . I heard him play it in Oxford awhile back .

you think??

No shite Sherlock!😂😂😂😂 Ur a true detective

Considering that this is a candidate for the most technically difficult piece ever written I would think so

he ignores it and does not play warmly. sometimes it is just aggressive.

I think not. This is why it is so difficult

Apparently there were "some passages I could not play" in Balakirev's words. So no, he couldn't play it all, though, how much he could is left to speculation.

@@handznethe could

@@user-tk7mb6yx2eactually he couldnt

at least

Top three I would say

I just wrote a harder piece, I called it 'E major at 600bpm'

@@jamiepound53There's a difference between speed and actual difficulty... But again... 600bpm is mental😂

Hard, but far from top ten. Probably not even in top 100, if you consider Stockhausen, Finnissy, Ferneyhough, Sorabji. Here are some harder pieces that are also actual music: Alkan's solo concerto, Le Festin d'Esope, Liszt's Beethoven transcriptions (not sure if all of them), Feinberg's sonatas, Szymanowski's sonatas, Ives' sonatas, Mereaux' etudes, Liszt, Gaspard de la nuit, Alkan's Trois Grandes Etudes, Le Preux, Comme le vent, Godowsky's Chopin etudes, Fantasia Contrappuntistica, Liszt's Spanish Fantasy and Spanish Songbook, Liszt's transcription of Symphonie Fantastique, Beethoven's Hammerklavier, Alkan's Scherzo Focoso, Brahms' Paganini variations, some of Scriabin's sonatas, Rachmaninoff's 1st version of the 2nd sonata, 3 Movements from The Firebird. And there are many more, of course.

At the time it appeared, it was considered to be the most difficult short piece ever written. Although it is still in the top 10, it's been eclipsed by the likes of Scarbo, much of Ravel and the Prokoffiev toccata.

@@mobilephil244 you are kidding me,,,Prokoffiev Toccata.

Ravel: hold my beer

@@josephhapp9 the Prokofiev toccata is way easier than this.

@@mobilephil244 You must be joking. One of the students who studied under my teacher could play the Prokofiev Toccata pretty well yet he struggled to even maintain the correct tempo while hitting the right notes on the first movement of the Mendelssohn 1st Piano Concerto. No way in hell he could have even attempted to play this piece (not dissing him btw; he was better at piano than I ever was, it's just the toccata is not that hard compared to what's out there)

why? im just asking because I do not understand the reference

@@texanfrog1750 Scriabin injured his right hand while over-practicing this piece of music on the piano.

@@samh1996 oh ya i knew that, i thought he recovered tho

" the orient " 💀

The orient 🥴

Just because the piece has “oriental fantasy” in the name doesn’t mean we have to go back to 1870 every time we talk about it

Horowitz is one of the worst

@@eternityhacks6358Bruh

So cool, maybe there should also be a Christiany or Judaismy, or even Buddhismy, hopefully we have given the composers out there some ideas.

While I do agree with your opinion, I think there's something ballsy about this kind of "old school interpretations" (Pogorelich is not really old school, but his playing resembles it somewhat) . This kind of "giving no fucks" interpretation is usually missed in today's time, where we have switched to a more academic approach of pieces rather than each pianist having a unique, more aggresive personal style. In my opinion, it is more pleasant to listen to this pieces played the way they are played now, but I do enjoy hearing a different interpretation every now and then. For example, see Hoffman playing Ballade 4 or butterfly etude. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNeAgZeYvd-cY2g.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7medtZlsMCYen0.html

@@kalikatespeliculero4771 Pogorelich was incredible in concert. I think that wild abandon suits a live in-person performance. It's exhilarating. But when it is recorded via audio or video, I appreciate a more accurate playing of the compositions. Masaya Kamei also has a softer and more poetic approach in his playing, which I am more drawn to these days. With all the craziness happening in the world, I appreciate a more sensitive, almost vulnerable interpretation.

This was very much an adrenaline fuelled live encore. It does indeed merit a slightly more respectful performance.

1:06?

Yea. It's like Tchaikovsky on steroids

@@martinspiano7081 @tom gentry to me it just sounds like he's hitting random notes with no attempt at making discernible melodies. but i think if i listen to it again and again it'll eventually sink in and i'll start to hear and understand the musical ideas. he's new to me. i'm used to beethoven, chopin, rachmaninoff.

@@waggawaggaful fair enough

Try the orchestral version. The instrumental colors create a completely different musical world.

Yes. He was one of greatest pianist in Russian Empire

No. He modestly admitted that some passages were beyond him.

Try out Gilel's recording. Here ya go kzfaq.info/get/bejne/or1gfdSUs5aWoYU.html

@@sagar1992 Its an amazing interpretation dont get me wrong, but imo it lacks emotion, especially around the second theme
