This is a valuable major Liszt work from his first book of "Years of Pilgrimage". It's quite thoughtful and introverted music, dealing with psychological matter from pioneer romantic figure Senancour's novel Obermann about a young man who goes out in nature to seek answers to life's hard questions. But over the span of this 14 minutes long musical essay, you also see the amazing view from the mountain tops, full of hope and glory. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn.

I had a brief gap of not playing the piano and not consuming your content a result. But in that time, it just seems you've improved so much in regards to playing and video production. That is not to say you were a slouch before, absolutely not! I appreciate that, it's rather inspiring. Well done.

One of my favorites of Liszt's pieces, it is incredible. People who think Liszt is all style and no substance need to listen to more Liszt 🤭

This is a piece I will never be able to actually play. Nevertheless I get great happiness in the analysis of pieces, so the level of technical difficulty is beside the point. Thank you for breaking it down so brilliantly.

I should listen to this piece. Thank you immensely for this excellent analysis. Your analysis videos are majestic. You are the one of the only people I trust on the internet for analysis. And your interpretation of the Ballade 2 is fantastic!

10:25 this comes from the third measure, I think. It is the phrase which begins to resolve to music to G minor but I doubt it's anything more than a coincidence. If we consider pieces which present economic use of motifs like Beethoven's Apassionata first movement, it'll make some sense.

@dwdei8815 2 ай бұрын

I suppose one way you cold describe that unusual and unusually non-triumphant E major ending is that, going from the augmented, it "dies into" a major chord. Which is a full-on emotional contradiction in terms.

Very helpful for my education, thankyou! How long did it take you to learn this piece?

@SonataSecrets 2 ай бұрын

It's hard to say for sure, spent a couple of weeks in the summer, then a week in December, then a couple of weeks in January for a handful of concerts in February.

Мне интересно, в моменте 10:22 берётся una corda, и дальше до конца произведения она не снимается (по крайней мере в моих нотах). Подскажите, где её можно (если вообще надо) снимать?

@SonataSecrets 2 ай бұрын

You should definitely lift it up for the rest of the piece, even if it's not specified where. Either when the melody repeats 10 bars later more fully orchestrated, or at least the appassionato climax later on. Generally the Una corda is more in the domain of the performer depending on instrument and acoustics, but specifically recommended at this place.
