Hi:) How are you? We almost hit 700k! So, I prepared the special video with Schubert’s piece. I used Liszt’s arrangement for piano. Lots of people requested this piece before. Schubert composed this piece when he was inspired by Goethe’s poem “Erlkönig". Several composers composed various pieces inspired by this poem. I added the comment for the story of the poem. Anyway, thank you so much for your support! My channel has been growing with your support. I will put in lots of effort to prepare for good performances. Please keep watching my channel And, always leave comments if there are pieces which you want to listen to Have a great day!! (This piece requires playing fast octaves in repeated notes. As I said before, my grand piano has a different sensor compared to a digital piano. In repeated notes, LEDs sometimes don’t work. Please understand)

Do you guys know the story of the poem “Erlkönig”? In brief (Wikipedia), a father is rushing him to medical aid. The son claims to see and hear the "Erlkönig" (Elf King). His father claims to not see or hear the creature, and he attempts to comfort his son, asserting natural explanations for what the child sees - a wisp of fog, rustling leaves, shimmering willows. The Elf King attempts to lure the child into joining him, promising amusement, rich clothes, and the attentions of his daughters. Finally, the Elf King declares that he will take the child by force. When his father reaches the destination, the child is already dead.

How much tremolo does your piece need? Schubert: "Yes."

Liszt: Hey Schubert, cool piece! Lemme add some O C T A V E S

That’s not smoke effects. That’s Kassia’s actual camera footage.

If I were to play this on my piano, my piano keys would never bounce back up.

Kassia's performance was so lit, that firefighters came after the performance to extinguish the fire

I didn’t know it was possible to play those octaves that fast. Even with my 9 years of piano experience, I still struggle with these. This is a mind blowing performance. Incredible job

The piano is smoking.

*To all pianists - well done watching Kassia*

Legends say the Erkling was going for the pianist's wrist

I don‘t really think people understand how difficult this is… you def have my full respect

one of my favourite Liszt - Schubert pieces

Damn doesn't your wrist or arm hurt?? It looks painful lmao Btw the thunders appearing once in a while was a good choice to be alongside this piece

I'm late, but wow... you always amaze me! I with I could learn from your friend how to make those really good visuals!

手が小刻みに反復横跳びしてる… 言葉で表せないぐらいすごい…

Wow! The visual effects are amazing! Also those octaves are clean, I dont think any people appreciate how hard it is to play such octaves for 4 minutes. Well done!

I love Schubert's music. You've definitely done this piece justice Kassia! The visuals are just amazing too. Fantastic work! :)

中学生の時に絶対流行る曲……それが魔王

There is no a happy ending for this piece. Only a beautiful middle, and Kassia made it even more beautiful...

Another breathtaking performance. You really are a key factor in my driving force to become better and better at piano. Thank you so much Kassia🥰🙏🏻

This is one of the hardest piano pieces of all times and you’re playing it brilliantly

으아 옥타브 연타 보기만 해도 손이 아프네요😂 오늘도 좋은 연주 고맙습니다 :)

The hardest part with this piece is differentiating all the characters since not only do they use different ranges, they're "singing" differently with different emotions and this does a pretty good job in doing that.

I love how this piece managed to express the two sides of the coins. The roaring beautiness of the G minor scale and the doting F arpeggios...

Holy crap, this is insane

コンクールで歌ったなぁ...懐かしいな、

Amazing effects! Looks like a glass pane. Not only are the visual effects great, but your playing and expression is phenomenal! I can always hear the melody clearly! Outstanding! 💕

I just know this is going to be an amazing performance!

좋아하는곡인대 오늘 딱 올려주시니 더 더 좋습니다. 늘 좋은연주 잘 듣고갑니다🥰🥰

素晴らしい演奏をお金を払わず聴かせてくれる投稿主に感謝します

I like how you make the bass lines crisp instead of submerging everthing in pedal and overall, it sounds really clean and crisp. I really love your rendition of this piece. ❤

Nobody: Not even pianists: Violinist: Vietnam War Flashback

That's the top of the piano quickly! very well.- song is beautiful.💕

To play octaves so fast with these small hands is an astonishing feat!!

Thank you so much for performing this piece and releasing it on spotify! It's one of my favourites pieces of all time (love the story and the intensity) and I could never find a good one on Liszt's arrangement to listen on repeat while furiously editing hehehe

meu deus velho quanta Perfeição, dá pra Sentir!, Eloquência é a palavra Perfeita pra definir essa obra

Kassia played so fast that the father and son won the race 🤧

I'm still not over with my Der Erlkönig fever! I love your video! Just a few weeks ago I've been searching every der erlkönig video playing I can find, and I'm glad you have posted yours! I really love your virtuosity🤩✨

Wow! From 1:35-2:04, your hands seemingly dance across the keyboard effortlessly and remind me of the soft yet precise way a harpist plays with sound. This deserves a hardcore bravo!

If only people knew how incredibly hard this piece is!! This was amazing!!

Liszt is typically known for easy beginner transcriptions of harder pieces

歌の部分もピアノなのですね！　迫力もすごくて本当に息を飲んで聞き込んでしましたました。　素晴らしいです。

This instantly became one of my favorite pieces! Great performance!

Astonishing visuals kassia. Love your performances ❤️❤️❤️

I've never been this early, which is why I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy every single one of your performances :)

How can you play this so beautifully? How long did you even practise to achieve this magnificent state. I am in awe. You are a genius. ❤️....

ㅎ... 연주 너무너무너무 잘하시네요. 덕분에 감상 잘했습니다. 이런 시를 지은 괴테도 대단하고 이 시의 분위기를 완벽하게 재현해낸 슈베르트도 대단합니다. 천재성들이 너무너무 부럽습니다.

Это нереально!!! Потрясающее исполнение, браво!!! This is unreal!!! Amazing performance, bravo!!!

역시 클래식 연주는 카시아 님이 제일 잘하는거같아요 클라이막스랑 마지막 아이 죽을때 부분이 너무 좋았어요!

素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます

옛날부터 봐왔지만 정말 잘치네요! 훌륭한 연주 감사합니다

That was so amazingly well played! Great performance, Kassia. This is also a new piece for me, I haven’t heard it before.

The ending is so emotionally powerful, i have no words Kassia. You amaze us everytime. Bravo bravo bravo.

Honestly I listen to loads of classical music but I've never really listened to much Schubert, but of the pieces that I have heard, they are really good and I really like them. Maybe I should listen to some more. Great performance!

엄청난 연주 그리고 아름다움 😊 매일 잘 듣고있어요 올 한해도 즐거움과 피아노 음처럼 아름다운 나날이 함께 하기를 바랍니다

OH MY GOSH!!! This is SUCH a difficult piece!! VERY WELL PLAYED!!!

It is beautiful, the agility in the hands makes it a more perfect piece than it already is.

We played this when I was in the school band…. This was one of the first songs I heard when I opened my perspective to the emotions of music…. And my goodness I remember feeling the anxiousness of the song, the feeling of fear as well as the joyfulness

Finally, this song was played! Thank you, Kassia!

Your visuals just keep getting better and better :) I also really love your powerful interpretation of this piece, great job!

진심 너무 잘하세요,,,,,,,, 피아노에 급 관심을 갖게 되어 저도 꼭 마왕이 치는 그날까지!!!!!!!!!!!

눈감고 들으니 멋진 성악좌들의 목소리가 들립니다 너무 멋진 피아노연주 감사히 잘 들을게요😍

魔王を演奏できるなんて…！大好きな作品です、有難うございます！😍💕

I just learned about this piece in my history book and now im seeing it everywhere

아아아 영상이 좀 더 자주! 많이! 올라왔으면 좋겠어요!!!

I just had this piece in my head the whole day, and when I open youtube I see you have uploaded it, amazing 🔥🔥

Perfect for practicing for a concert! I'm so glad this is on KZfaq!!!!

Piano keys will soon have to be manufactured out of titanium to survive Kassia's speed.

Piano Skills Level 1000! Nicely done 👌🏻

전에 마왕 신청했었는데 드디어!!!! kassia님 연주로 들어보네요😭 역시 최고예요!! kassia님 스타일 넘나 취향저격입니다♡

❤❤❤凄い、おお〜素晴らしいですね♪♪♪💕美しい音色、ありがとうございます。最高〜🎉🎉🎉

I love how you play this song! I listened it thousands times!

When I see those hands move I know magic's real. It's totally impressive. And the playing is beautiful. Props to Kassia

It’s wonderful... I adore your perfomances and classical music!

I love how fast it is, and it feels like ur being blown away with the intensity of the start

Você nos brinda com essa bela performance. Bravo!

Beautiful! You're such a virtuose, I feel honoured to witness your talent 😁

진짜 너무 놀랍다.. 너무 좋아요ㅜㅜ 그냥 푹 빠져버리게 되네 영상, 음향 모든 게 하나하나 주옥같아서 이 영상 저 영상 보다가 결국 마왕에서 댓글남기게 됨… 너무 멋있고 환상적이라 꾸준히 오래오래 영상 보고싶은 최고 유튜버 됨❤️‍🔥 좋은 영상들 감사합니다~~

Thanks for the amazing performance, great visuals as well. Please keep up the content. I would love to see you perform more Schubert

Liszt is like: yes one Schubert playable arrangement is enough for you let’s go back to making them impossible Edit: amazing performance Kassia you really nailed it

I have never been so impressed by someone playing the piano and especially this piece. And I mean NEVER. I often think that many people overplay pieces by going crazy and therefore it loses the beauty of the piano but this one here and you Kassia? Just wow. I wish I could play like this one day

I can’t believe I’ve watched every single one of your videos, I have never been this devoted to a KZfaq account, you are amazing!!!!

You have 700,000 subscribers!!! Congratulations, My most respected pianist and KZfaqr Cassia! I'll always support you!💗

The music is beautiful and the visuals are stunning!

Absolutely amazing, I love this! 🤩
