Liszt: Yes.

isn't this the hardest piano piece in existence? i cant seem to find anything more difficult than this.

Amazing effects! I don't see much of the 1838 4b much on YouTube anymore, and it's nice to see it has yet to be forgotten. Apart from sacrilegious 10 hour pieces, this piece is probably one of the most technically challenging if not the most technically challenging piece. Saying it's inhumanly possible would sound true at first, but thinking about it Liszt wouldn't really have a reason to compose something he wasn't able to play. I mean, this is Liszt we're talking about.

1838 must be a legendary year with Liszt xDD

[peterwaite]

Finally, someone else who put this piece on youtube.

[LeventK]

Legend has it, Liszt played 1:40 with one hand.

If someone asks "why did people think Liszt and Paganini sold their soul to the devil?"


Send them this

[rbrecords]

Liszt is so brilliant that can make piano solo piece sounds like a whole orchestra

[funnyuser]

Ladies and gentlemen, Traum Piano has confirmed he will play this at one point

[grimmy]

Wow.
Going for the classics aren’t you.
Very nice

I think that’s the second hardest piece in the world. First is Liszt’s transcription of Beethoven symfony 9 for piano. It sounds like this etude, but much longer, about 1 hour. This is really the most difficult piece

[youssefben]

I love how he puts in the copyright stuff in the description of a 200 year old piece 😂 . Amazing piano sound btw

[PetrolSniffer]

I can’t believe Yi Chung Huang played all of this

[axleylefennec]

ooo, noire. that's a good piano library

I'm currently attempting to learn this and... It is actually humanly possible at this speed. The key is a very light bounce and properly "shifting" the hands' weight from one side to the other, then using that shifting/momentum to bounce, or something. I'm just a couple of days in, so it's a total, total mess right now.

It'll take quite some time before it's at least sorta nice and clean enough, with not too much mistakes and slips and whatnot. And if I don't become lazy. Because right now I'd rather play No Man's Sky or much, much easier piano pieces like Fur Elise.

at 1:40, Lizst has officially broken his piano playing this song.

maybe Lizst really did destroy all the pianos in which he played this song.
