This is actually a lot heavier! Liszt was an absolute master! Today's musicians are no where near as knowledgeable in music theory as world class composers such as Liszt were. In other words, Liszt had a better understanding of what actually sounded heavy and not just rely in distortion to supplement that heavy sound.

@@IsraelMedrano "Today's musicians are no where near as knowledgeable in music theory as world class composers such as Liszt were". 1- You're wrongly and unspecifically making comparisons between different approaches to music. 2- Music theory is not at all essential for composing/writing meaningful pieces/songs that are worth paying attention to.

@@IsraelMedrano "Liszt had a better understanding of what actually sounded heavy and not just rely in distortion to supplement that heavy sound." You are mistaking eeriness with heaviness, although they tend to overlap much more in Death and Black Metal. Organized, contextualized loudness via electrical amplification and certain lyrical themes are what define heavy music; that's why Motörhead and Liszt shouldn't be compared, to put a single example.

***** This is the best known Dies Irae melody. It is of medieval origin and so commonly referenced in other works that it is hardly ambiguous to simply state "Dies Irae". It is any other reference that needs qualification or context. Since the Dies Irae is a standard section of the requiem mass there are naturally many others. Other examples or this one include Rachmaninoff ( Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini), Berlioz (Symphonie Fantastique), and Sondheim (Sweeny Todd) and over a dozen more you can look up. Proof that it is a great tune.

I heard recently this commentary that Liszt never played in his concerts his own compositions, and curious to understand who could have inspired him playing only with high and low notes (without medium ones) and finally discovered this in the last Beethoven, surely not surprising !

"Sword and crown are worthless here, I invite everybody to dance. Laborers , lawyers, church, and gown all make their little prance. This life is full of random deaths, and heaps of grief, and shame, so few are soothed by "accident", you want some one to blame. Fire , plague, and strange disease, drowned, murdered, or, if you please. A long fall down the basement stairs, none are expected, no-one cares. I often work very hard; with sweat running down my skin. After the dance, I then must rest ; and the eating can begin. Death is the ultimate equalizer." -Walrus, Alice : Madness Returns.

This is probably a weird place to ask this, but what's the significance of the bottom arrow being reversed? I'm genuinely interested. I've seen the three arrows around but never with the bottom one looking like that .

@gothicfan51 3 жыл бұрын

@@Joe-oh5ch The three arrows denounced 1. Monarchism, 2. Naziism, 3. Communism. So reversing the bottom one means that while I am still against the first 2, I'm not against the third. I did see fascists reverse the middle arrow before, so it's not always clear.

@CptSeighter123 3 жыл бұрын

@Polski Bolszewik First of all, its impressive you answered him after 5 years. Secondly, could I also ask where that arrow symbol came from? And is there a specific reason why it goes monarchism, fascism, and communism? And so if say someone is for monarchism do they then point the first arrow up?

@gothicfan51 3 жыл бұрын

@@CptSeighter123 I'll answer your questions in reverse. Yes, you reverse the arrow to symbolise that you are for something. Note though, that reversing regardless of which one is also subverting the social democratic message. There is a specific order for it, it links to a propaganda poster from three arrows. Please look up images in your browser under the search 'Three Arrows Propaganda', you should see the original poster with three red hands holding the arrows and striking monarchists, nazis and communists. The symbol came from the the "drei Pfeile" which is a social-democratic political symbol of the German SDP.

Shaw Rosowitsch It's a nerve disorder in the hand that people who use their fingers a lot can develop. It's not specific to pianists, but a lot of the faster and relentless piano pieces (e.g. this piece, and the more complex Bach, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff) make pianists especially susceptible. It can cripple the hand for weeks even with prompt treatment, and can permanently wreck one's piano playing if left untreated.

@rosso4122 8 жыл бұрын

TheLinguist88 wow .. why woud u play such pieces then if theyre so dangerous ?

@SooLocksmith 8 жыл бұрын

Shaw Rosowitsch To quote George Mallory, who was asked why he wanted to climb Everest, "because it's there." With rigorous warm-ups (scales, arpeggios) and disciplined practice, as well as taking care to stop when warning pains begin to travel across the hand, most pianists avoid getting carpal tunnel even when playing pieces like this. It's really no different from any other form of exercise -- just like you wouldn't want to run a (26-mile/40 km) marathon when the longest you've run before is 5 miles (8 km), you wouldn't want to play a piece like this without working up to it and going through it slowly. That's why we practice. :) And I've never played this piece specifically, but the thrill of mastering a difficult or challenging piece is what we live for.
