Little-known fact: the energy generated by her fingers during this performance powered the lights in the concert hall for the next 17 months.
Ahahahaah fuck no
Hahahah , you made my day man !
Ha ha, great...
i would not want to be a lesbian with her
Ha ha ha ha. That's funny...
Liszt is typically known for his early beginner pieces like this
Take a few online lessons, chill, and there's nothing to easy stuff like this.
Yea man, La Campanella was also a classic
Mark Fowler it’s a joke bruf
Mark Fowler op was telling a joke.
Mark Fowler it was a joke dude calm down
this is completely insane. her hands move so fast you can barely tell which keys she's pressing, it looks like they don't even touch the keys. i'm speechless
its a thing to say whoever invented the piano did such a good job that it can keep up with her fingers.. thanks, V!~
Same here ❤❤❤❤Love
Mostly F Sharp and C Sharp will be pressed
And she memorized every single note.
I missed anyone else mentioning that the piece is committed to her memory, no sheet music to flip through, so she has full emotional focus. Love it.
Yes, that is typical of a pianist playing a piece, especially one of this difficulty
That is completely trivial and comes naturally with any difficult piece.
But even then, if you know it by heart, there's still a _loooong_ phase of still having to focus on the technique, difficult parts etc. Most hobbyists get stuck in this phase.
She is my great great great great granddaughter
Franz Liszt Oh dear.
@@keyyf7039 LOL
@@keyyf7039 Hi!
xLxszt CH Hello there.
Too funny. :)
You watch her and you think how can she even play this? Then you think, how can some one even write this?
Step 1: be Franz Liszt
Step 2: Cry because you´re not Franz Liszt
felix villarreal step 3: Give up and play the flute
Step 4: Call a suicidal help-line, so that you don't do that.
Step 5: Eat everything in the house because you tried and hey that's good enough you deserve it as you sit there crying because you failed
Saw this 12 years ago and still haven't seen another performance of Hungarian rhapsody no.2 better.
Rousseau’s was also great.
Yeah like that part at 1:49 to 1:57 sounds so different than the others I’ve heard, it’s almost sounds like she hits different keys than others, also the part from 5:14 to 5:18
Лучший - Гилельс!
1. This is absolutely my favorite classical performance by any artist on any instrument
2. Her hands were moving so fast in the middle that it almost seemed like a big joke, not intentional. A nearly psychotic level of playing.
3. What’s more daunting is that Liszt actually intentionally wrote this. He dreamed to extract from the piano as much as humanly possible. Will anyone ever extract more?
It seemed like watching a cartoon! Completely amazing.
I think nothing can top this. Maybe you can play faster but making it sound as harmonic as this at the same time is nearly impossible
@@switterbeet this is on the very edge of the realm of possible, as a not genetically enhanced human. I would guess with no genetic engeneering no natural born human will ever surpass this level of skill.
You haven´t heard of Kazuhito Yamashita, for me the artist most "scary technique" i know
@@williamtaittinger4529 While she plays this piece extremely well, I think that you simply lack understanding
Even the piano is wondering wtf is happening
good one ha ha ha
lol
...and thinking: WOW! I didn't even know it was in me all the time!
Waterfalls
it's Tom and Jerry fighting :))
H-How- How in the HELL did she do that?! She's super human! So fast, her fingers were a blur! Poor Jerry. She killed him for sure.
watch hamelin play his cadenza of this piece it is incredible
Muscle memory.
It is very simple, she is made in the image of God. And it certainly has nothing to do with hell.
i thought everyone was made in the image of god. why cant i play it :(
Superoxide Dismutase God doesn't exist.
I watched Valentina playing this piece live in September 2022 at Sala São Paulo - Brazil, it was the most impressive thing i've ever seen in my life, I couldn't hold back the emotions, it made me feel so emotional I cried a lot and had goosebumps the whole concert, it was magical. And then I had the opportunity of meeting her in person, she was so sweet to all the Brazilian fans. ❤️
😊👍👏👏👏
I don't blame you. The best musical performances are a transcendent experience and overwhelm you with emotion. I'd love to see her perform in person.
ela é uma das minhas maiores inspirações, eu não consegui ir assisti-la pessoalmente, que grande privilégio! ❤❤❤
You are very fortunate ❤
Best part is how much fun she looked to be having.
Once you actually learn this piece, it is so fun to play. It's just getting there is really hard. Franz Liszt was kind of a showoff
@@GreyWind1988
I feel the same about playing 'Blame It On The Rain' drum.
@@GreyWind1988 because he did a lot of concerts, but Liszt has a lot of beautiful pieces that are not virtosistic too. I love both sides of Liszt but he wasn't only a showoff.
Not at the last few seconds. Her forearms were probably dying. I'm a pianist, I know how bad the forearms ache by the end of a song lol
@@GreyWind1988 you can’t really know if he was showing off or did because of his love for his music, you can actually feel the love and devotion he had towards music if you listen Hungarian rhapsody or la Campanella which wasn’t even his composition .

She used a typewriter once. There were no survivors. Incredible skills.

She always leaves one alive to tell the tale
Then how did you know when there were no survivors?
She literally transform any masterpiece in a better and deeper experience. We admire her and love her.
As a pianist I agree with you. Amazing technique. What people don't always realize is that to accomplish these pieces at such high technical and mature emotionally, first both sides of the brain is being used simultaneously. Second, to achieve the dexterity in the fingers takes years and thousands if not tens of thousands of hours practicing over and over, increasing the mm a notch each day so that your fingers glide effortlessly across the keys. Thirdly, also takes the ability to change emotions as to convey the story you are weaving on the piano. There was s so much more than most people realize. Amazing performance.
Thanks - that sometimes we feel too alone when there are no affinity buddies in sight. I am not a musician, but anyway was impressed by what I was calling 'the harmony of execution'. Your «both sides of the brain» helped me in having a more precise idea. But, again, I'll stick to 'harmony' since for me it is more a question of feeling the harmony of sound than feeling emotions, though I know that it is all connected. Could be because I got polarized by the difference in interpretations, where the world-known ones, with great technical skills, miss completely the 'harmonic feeling'. Among them the very known LL, that to me seems just an extremely fast piano typist.
That Tom and Jerry feeling in your heart making you happy.
Zen Naut finally,I saw somebody mentioning this 😂😂😂
Zen Naut omg same
Zen Naut this comment made my day thats how I always feel listening to this or I feel bugs bunny
most ducking unexpected feeling ever))))))) but your 100% right
Bugs Bunny does it better.
How many days do you practice in an hour?
I really hope this is a joke
cherrybabe ...no shit
I think at least 2 days in an hour
@@manmeetsingh4719 Remember she practices 40 hours in a day, so she practices at least 80 hours in an hour
Maybe she's the piano counterpart of ling ling
The long pause at 5:03 really nails it. I had watched so many other players doing this rhapsody and none of them made any sense; all sounded like schizophrenic incoherent performances. Now Valentian's pause finally made sense of the whole thing. There is a transition of mood that all other players didn't capture.
Most pianists with pieces like this have a ''look, I CAN play this'' vibe.
Lisitsa has the ''I feel this piece'' vibe.
Literally most of the pianists do this pause as it's literally written on the sheet music but okay
bingo
Cried through most of this. What a brilliant performance, I don’t even have words
I smoke, then watch, at certain moments my heart bursts and eyes tearing up.
the craziest part is not the fact this piece is so unbelievably difficult. it’s not even how fast she can play. the craziest part is how much control she has over the volume when she’s playing so fast and how smooth and fluid she can play this song. it’s almost as if her fingers are made of water.
And its all from her memory no notes infront of her!!!!
Memory is the easiest part
@@ngyuzhemoe7107 you know, you’re not wrong there. in my first month of playing piano i memorized chopin’s nocturne op. 9 no. 2 but i still have trouble with arpeggios and i been playing for about a year now
@@ngyuzhemoe7107 memorizing easier than reading notes?
@@dinaalsaigh165no, memorising is easier than learning the techniques. By the time you’ve practised enough to be able to do this you’ve already memorised it whether you meant to or not
I can't imagine how many countless days/years it takes to master something like this, but the look of absolute ecstasy on her face says it all. This woman is loving what she does. That's all that matters.
Yep. Even the hardest things could be easily done if you like it.
It took me half a year (same as Heroic Polonaise) to get it to proper tempo plus another 6 months to polish it to performance level. I prefer Adam Gyorgy’s more steady rendition or maybe CIffra’s.
Tim Countis also true but she’s sometimes so fast she doesn’t even play all the notes, e.g. at 8:10 when she literally smudges the right hand scales, but of course her rendition is overall more tempestuous than, say, Gyorgy.
Domen Sever could you upload it to CZcams? I want to see it played by You. Also from what age did you start learning piano and how long do you practice each day?

I’m laughing way too hard at this. I think about this when I play rachminoff
@@BedardJ Do you mean Rachmaninow?
Ha, now look at Erlkonig.
"Let me intoduce my friend, carpal tunnelling"
@@ogthekingofbashan333 there are so many more pieces that are exceptionally more difficult than Erlkonig, Idk why youd mention that of all things.
This was the performance that brought me into classical at the age of 12. Now i am 16, play the piano and am completely in love withthe music of Schumann and Bach. Returning to this video gives me so many memories of where my obsession began and how my taste changed over the years.
I've been playing piano since I was 6, and I'm 39 now...and this remains one of the most difficult pieces I've ever played. She makes it look effortless.
Shoutout to Liszt for not making this COMPLETELY impossible to play. For reference, the guy had Shaq hands, he could press Caps Lock and use the num pad with one hand at the same time
***** Exaggerations get the point across.
I thought that was pretty funny.
That's using two hands for me just to reach caps lock and the num pad. ;u; R.I.P. Fingers
I spent a good 12 weeks on his Liebestraum no.3 and it never was performance ready. That's one of his more playable pieces, I can't imagine even getting halfway through this piece. I think he wrote piano music just to show off how great he was, only virtuoso's can play his work.
***** It's been forever, but I remember it being a 16th that one of them could stretch.
Camera: I have the have best frame rate
Franz List: *Hold my beer*
Lol
The beer mentioned in this anecdote was an ice cold bottle of Stella Artois, bit of trivia for you.
This is unreal. I've watched and listened to this a few times and it never fails to blow me away
Best performance i have ever seen in my entire life 😮❤
Valentina approaches.
Piano: Oh shit, here we go again.
*traumatic flashbacks*
Brilliant comment
The piano says: Valentina approaches; 'Oh shit..'
Just a thought. Imagine writing this piece of music..... Imagine not being some future interpreter, but the instigator, the composer. Thats the level beyond.
You have a very strange name. I have a strange name too.
Tty
Fun fact: She burned 1000 calories here with her fingers alone
In one of her interviews she actually talked about her hand muscles 🤣
Wow that is crazy
Is that really true??
Chaitanya Chaudhary no lol her heart rate is no where near cardio levels aha. Jogging for 10 mins would burn way more.
@@cactish3191 I thought so too but many comments like these have got a lot of likes so I thought it may be true
Thanks anyway
5:57 Favorite part. The precision of her left hand jumps is insane
It is incredibly impressive how she not only has mastered the technical aspect of this, but also managed to simultaneously communicate a full spectrum of emotions that really draws one in, all while making it look so effortless and her face exposing how much she is truly enjoying it! Her passion shines and she is absolutely amazing 🤍
I cant hit the wrong keys that fast
😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂............ 😭
Ahahahahahahah
If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly
@@0ros3t iF yOu CaN pLaY iT sLoWlY, yOu CaN pLaY iT qUiCkLy
they are not wrong keys if you play free jazz
The way her hands play so lightly as if there was no strain on her hands, and the way her fingers flit over the keys so quickly and lightly is so elegant.
She is very good with not tensing up. Thats what allows her to play at such speeds. You can even see it in her biceps, they rapidly flex and relax instead of just staying flexed most of the time. She is optimizing her energy very well to be able to play at this speed.
Shoulders relaxed, hands relaxed. You can get much faster explosive speed that way compared to being tense all the time.
It's the Russian Piano School technique. The first thing kids learn is how to relax the wrist and arm.
yeah i’m like in awe her touch with the piano at some points looks like she’s caressing it to play the notes
not only is her technique impeccable, her bicep and forearm muscles are also very strong!
The best part is that she looks like she is genuinely having pure fun.
We're so blessed to live in an era where we can listen to this world class pianist right here.
Same shit for the people in the 18th century
No, very few people in the 1800s could have heard this.
I think you meant to say, “people are so blessed to have lived in an era where they could listen to the world class pianist(Franz Liszt) right there”
At least a mouse wasn't hiding in the piano to ruin it again.
@@SleepyWeasle Cat Concerto!

Wow. She is the best example of very skilled talented pianist. Every touch seems so light and easy. I'm really surprised! And since this piece is one of the hardest piano, her ability is even more amazing.
I am utterly in awe of Valentina's playing. God has made human beings as incredible, gifted spirits !! WOW.

In addition to the fact, Valentina has pianist 's fingers this masterpiece is so well executed with cadence and nuances. Congratulations and sincere thanks for this concert!
I'm not sure if Liszt would be proud or jealous of how well you played that. Incredible!
Very good thought of course, but if you could read music you would know that Liszt would be laughing at this, is off. Still is one of my favorites pieces on the piano and she did extremely well.
@@marcoss6212 yeah he wouldn’t be jelous cuz he has harder works but I think he would be impressed or atleast not disappointed
No way would he be jealous, but her performance was good.

That’s hilarious
It‘s Lisztomania all over again
I swear I saw some keys being pressed only by her sheer willpower.
The keys were terrified of what she would do once she got there, so they pressed themselves out of utter fear.
hehehehe
She hits some of these keys faster than the camera's framerate, especially at the start of the friska. She's insanely good.
@@vidblogger12 haha brilliant yes!
My 120 hrz refresh rate ain't cuttin' it.
She touches the keys so gently , it's amazing !! 🎉
I could watch this on a continuous loop. Your energy, joy, and talent are amazing
Has anyone noticed how happy she is playing this? There are multiple camera angles where it is just her smiling. This is probably the best performance of this piece I have ever seen, because until the time machine is invented, I will never see Liszt play.
Or some successful necromancy.
Or maybe you are looking at Liszt in this video
Looks like she enjoy the challenge :D
Yes the smiling is wonderful. Martha Argerich also does that and it seems almost enchanting to me. Just a wonderful experience.
If I can play this piece I will die smiling whatever killed me
I love watching her face as she plays. You can tell she absolutely loves what she does. She not only has a technical grasp of the music she plays, she also has emotional attachment as well.
It was like seeing the Goddess of music herself playing the piano: "Ah, yes. Just like that day..."
300 likes. Kudos.
yes
True talent and passion
SIMPPP
Bruhhh I had to check my replay speed… this is insane, like actually insane, I’ve been learning this song for months, the speed she’s playing it at is ridiculous! This is incredible skill
A lot of pianist while playing look as if they are in such agony,but this lady has a big smile on her face .she looks like she's having fun.
She has fun, but her fingers hate her
dam. i thought only Tom and Jerry could play this fast.

THIS IS SUPERNATURAL!! No one can play like this. WOW
As a newbie piano player getting their first meaningful insights into the higher levels of mastery, this is just mindblowing, and kicks my inspiration and motivation into overdrive. I imagine only the very pinnacle of players are even willing to devote the blood, sweat, tears and pure magic that it takes to achieve playing similar to this. Not just the technical difficulty, but the absolute grace, fierce power, keen precision, and depth of soul and emotion - stunning!
I hear you. I started piano just a month ago. I may never get to be able to do this piece, but it's a great inspiration.

Only Valentina Lisitsa can play this piece with incredible precision, so cleanly and beautifully. Even the super fast part, she nailed them with ease. She’s truly the greatest pianist of today’s generation. Brilliant virtuoso with hands of steel. ♥️
Me parece que la toca demasiado rápido a la canción, no es su culpa esta muy apasionada, es verdad que es una gran pianísta y esta obra la toco muy bien, pero para mi, también esta muy bella la interpretación de Adam Gyorgy.
This is soooo amazing. I can watch this again and again and again etc.
Incredible talent, beautifully performed - she really provides a fun musical journey here - Brava👏
I personally think 9:10 is extremely impressive. I've heard a lot of pianists try to play this (including myself) and either make it too slow, or too mushy. Valentina plays it incredibly clear and hastily while still retaining quality and the composers intention for it to be played. She is a remarkable pianist no matter what any critic says.
So true
Who the heck could possibly criticize her?? It's beyond me.
This fucking scared me
Yes I noticed that too. Liszt probably meant this to sound a bit edgy, like maybe the wrong note was hit, and many people just assume that it's the pianist. It is not. It's the art of the piece and requires something special to achieve.
That is part of the Cadenza right?
If you can play it slowly, you can play it qui-oh wait wrong channel
interesting
But isn’t it sacrilegious?
I guess she really can play 15 notes a second...
She clearly practices 40 hours a day....
Violas have left the chat
This is one of the best performances I’ve seen of this. Between the required muscle memory and muscle strength, so challenging to stay up to tempo for the entirety of the song. She also created an interesting personal rendition from 9:45-9:05 (not part of the original sheet music). It took me a whole school year to learn this to tempo. To echo the sentiment of what other posters said, it’s hard to fathom how nuts it is to play this song well if you have never played it, and especially if you have never played piano in general. How it looks being played doesn’t even touch the surface of the level of focus and precision required to actually play it. Bravo to Valentina!
Lastly, whoever edited the video should apologize to the millions of viewers, to pan away from her hands during the finale starting at 9:10 is irresponsible and a travesty. The art is between her hands and the keys, not fancy camera angles.
You mean 8:45 right?
Can't even imagine how much effort, skills and time this masterpiece needs to be executed, Liszt was just a genius
Piano abuse is not a joke, Liszt, millions of pianos are harmed each year.

Who cares about the mistakes? This is PASSION! And as Beethoven once said, mistakes are excusable, lack of passion isnt! And Valentina certainly hit both aspects of this quite well!!!
Mistakes? Where?
What mistakes? Any off key sounding parts it's how it's written
2.7 thousand dislikes?

I'm sure that has to do with her political opinions. I don't like her politics, but I love her playing!
Or you are living inside the piano, trying to sleep...
I think 2.7 thousand is the number of c# at 5:28
theoldar what are her politics ?
probably all the concert pianists who cannot play as well as she can!
I am perfectly willing to die now. There can be nothing more beautiful than this! I now meet my maker with sheer bliss. This is perfection. Mr. Liszt would be envious of Ms. Lisztsista's rendition of his work. God bless you, Valentina, and thank you for this!
