Dear Sally, you give so much joy with your art. Liszt would be very happy to hear you (maybe he does). Absolutely fantastic, technically and musically. It is a pleasure! Your piano playing is full of life. Liebe Grüße aus Belin, Leon.

I had studied the whole "Annees de Pereinage Part 1". I already mastered the difficult "Orage" (Thunderstorm), but the "Au bord d'une source"---is almost like another concert study of sorts by Liszt in that aforementioned collection.

This piece, if it were a concert etude, covers these pianistic areas:

1. Bursts of short, yet fast, crossovers.
2. Clearness and clarity in the sixteenth-note arpeggios and runs.
3. Phrasing of the short two-note motives in eighth notes.
4. Mastery of the several cadenzas on the V7 chord of Eb major (though this piece focuses on the Ab major center).

Bonus: It also covers the mastery of uneven and syncopated rhythms in the upward "sighing" motives.

Dear Sally, SO WONDERFUL AS Thank you for my favourite Liszt's masterpiece, for an excellent performance and for your tutorial, your video will be helpful for many people, (for me this piece is too difficult), my English is not good yet and I turned on the subtitles, such a very interesting amazing story, I hope I will try to learn this masterpiece in the future. Btw. today already my second comment on your channel (perhaps too often?), as every day all the best from Poland to San Francisco, have a happy new week. Joanna

Fantastic tutorial. I love this piece even more now after being shown the different elements ...a whole tone scale! I'm ordering this. I've found the analysis so helpful in learning pieces. those colored boxes are a life saver. Gina

Y aquí es donde me gustaría saber inglés, me encanta tu forma de tocar, me ayuda a relajarme; pues estoy atorado en mi quinto de seis ciclos de piano en el instituto solo por escoger obras que me terminaron agotando, no sé si rendirme o seguir buscando.

I loved this video. Is this piece very hard?
