In this video I try to learn the hardest piano song/piece in the world! La Campanella. But the problem is… I’m not a pianist. I’m just a guitarist. Hope you like it!

Here’s what the detective on Fiverr uncovered about Liszt and piano practice:
“Hi there,
After a couple of hours of searching "shortcuts" etc on how to learn this piece - the general consensus seems to be that there are none! Many experienced piano players have stated that they have practised for years, and have still not truly mastered this piece.
However, some potentially useful advice:
In the beginning, your focus shouldn't really be on speed and accuracy, especially at the beginning. If you can afford it and can find one, getting a good teacher would help. However, assuming you do not wish to, and really want to embark on this ridiculously difficult challenge - here's my advice as someone who has been self-teaching piano for a few years.
Focus on getting the movements right. This is especially true if you're tackling something difficult: poor hand movements can cause injury, especially when attempting advanced pieces. As a rule of thumb, if you're planning to learn anything beyond ~grade 5 material, technique should really be your main priority. If done right, playing the piano should feel really effortless. It is possible to play demanding repertoire for several hours straight, and not feel any sense of tiredness at all. I know it because I've experienced it firsthand. If you're getting any muscle pain or joint aches etc., you're doing it wrong. Period. Figure out how to fix it.
On how to acquire "technique": There are several things to be noted here.
- You should increasingly learn to notice tension developing in any part of the body. Try and be aware of anatomy as well -- fingers DO NOT have muscles, the muscles that power movements of the fingers are in the palms and forearms. Body weight and strength from the forearm, back, shoulders, etc. is transferred via the fingers, and the fingers just act kind of like the 'medium' to transfer the energy: they are not supposed to take a beating. You should feel no strain on the fingers even after playing difficult passages for hours straight. The wrist and forearm should typically be kept level with the keys. Look up videos on piano posture on CZcams.
Read up whatever you can on Pianostreet about technique (bernhard's posts are quite good). Also watch all the videos on CZcams about technique you can find (look up pianocareer, Graham Fitch, cedarvillemusic and Josh Wright)” - Hudba
Ok guys. I’ve been answering thousands of your comments now. This is apparently not the hardest piano piece ever😅 I googled ”hardest piano piece ever” and La Campanella showed up in bold letters. I know nothing about piano so I won’t argue. So I’m interested to hear: what is the hardest piano piece ever? I have noticed everyone gives a unique answer to this. Please battle it out down below👍
The hardest piece that i can practice right now is opus clavicembalisticum
certainly not the hardest but the most beautiful, Ballade no 1 by Chopin!
Oopsie everyone is shitting on me for saying flight if the bumblebee, Ik it’s not the hardest and very overrated but I just like the piece 👍. Chopins Etude winter wind on the other hand I LOVE and is also quite hard. Definitely would say it’s the hardest as there are many Liszt pieces that seem impossible to play
@@zacyo7851 Flight of the Bumblebees is literally 3000km away from La Campanella.
I personally think that the Flight of the Bumblebees is way way easier than the Campanella, I don’t know why people think it is the hardest, indeed it seems impressive but like, there is so much harder than that...
Anyway, I think we could take some other pieces from Liszt, such as Hungarian Rhapsody No.2, which is legendary, or some other Etudes from Liszt too
@@zacyo7851 its not that hard..
Now try this music piece on guitar.
Yeah, for example this one czcams.com/video/PTlPq5JWxgM/video.html ... as a guitarist, you should have it a bit easier. A bit. 😉
@@MegaGameHunter that's only if you tune it right. imagine using one of Ichika Nito's meme tunings like all Es or something.
@@jerrylim6722 What do you mean if you tune it right? Yeah, it's in DADGAD, but the piece is still pretty hard to play.
It’s way easier on guitar
Soooo easy!

Me as a pianist: "ah, cool, he's trying to learn the piano"
Me as a classical pianist: *"did he just really call a piece 'song'?"*
Is a 'piece' those thing people call like Num. 9 Op. 25 ?? I honestly have no idea and I've love to learn
I'm not an expert but i can try to define it :
For me a piece is part of the classical repertoire, made by a world famous composer, is made for being played on an instrument (exept for opera) , and don't have any lyrics.
Whereas a song is made by a singer, and most of the time have lyrics and is being sung.
Imo not everybody can play a piece but everybody can sing a song.
(but i'm not an expert so it's just a theory)
True i’m raging every time someone say this ree
@@mikahack7547 daymmm
Honesty I always call pieces songs just to piss of classical pedants who think they’re really high and mighty
hey that was pretty good for a total beginner. In another 2000hrs you'll probably have the first page done!
Lol it only gets worse as it goes on though. I could get the first page down within a few hours but I gave up on the piece after about a month for the repeated notes and the ridiculous jumps in some of the sections. Its absolutely brutal.
Just 2000? wow he is talented
Lmao stop overating how hard it is cus its not that hard u need to try harder bro
0:46 Ok while La Campanella is extremely difficult, it's far from *the most* difficult piano repertoire, there are definitely more challenging pieces. Take Paganini etude no. 4 1838 version, for example. While you probably knew from the beginning this wasn't really going to work, it was still an interesting experiment, and made for a very nice viewing experience. I enjoyed the video nonetheless!
Yes it was Google fault😂 Thank you I will check that piece out. This piece was hard but It was hard to believe it was THAT hard. Thank you!!🙏
You realise you spelled Paganini wrong
@@triplex5877 Woups, thank you. Corrected it.

Piano is the easier instrument to play
But the hardest to master
Sounds fair😄
Nah not really. Most instruments are really difficult to master, each in its own way
Ok ritord
I completely disagree and say its the hardest to learn and the easiest to master. Drums on the other hand easiest to learn and hardest to master
@@haydentaylor3658 I think quite the opposite: piano is easy to learn because of how simple it is to make a sound: press a key, make a sound. As for the hardest, each instrument is hard to master in its own way
Tips for practicing (from a pianist): Divide the piece of music into sections.Don’t attempt to play a piece with both hands. First play with your right hand (slowly) until you get it right, then you can start adding some speed. After you master the right hand you do the same with the left hand. You can start playing with both hands slowly when you’ve got the hang of the left hand. And when you get that right move on to the next section. You did a good job anyway, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the great advice! Of camera, I actually practiced the right hand separetely so I guess I wasn’t conpletely off!😄
Good advice. My piano teacher always taught that way. Work hands alternately and then put them together. Play slowly and work up to normal tempo. When you lose focus set small goals for progress and practice daily even for only 15 minutes
I swear to god in 5 years there will be experts in random ass fields just because of COVID😂😂😂
I love that idea 😂
Hopefully...
Don't feel bad, there are professional concert pianists who train for YEARS to play this piece. You made some amazing progress in just two weeks.
I mean.... I know it's for content and not completely serious. But to "think" that one can learn the piece in 10 days is in itself mocking all the pianists who trained for YEARS. (just for clarification, i don't think he "thinks" that)
I admire the ambition. But even if he get all the notes right, there will probably be still years of work getting everything else right, like phrasing and dynamics...
@@theatog Oh yeah, but it was done as an experiment to see if it could be done not as a serious attempt to learn.
I’m pretty sure the beginning is the easiest part of it
If you think Campanella is hard, look at mazzepa or Mephisto waltz or even der elkroning (arr Liszt), but still you did really really well for a non pianist I didn’t expect you to actually playing it that well
Thank you!! Yes I will check that out!
Or you could try Liszt Etude No 3, the piece actually regarded as the hardest ever written. (Yes I know it’s subjective.)
or liszt grande douze études
Hi Matthias, I'm very impressed by your dedication an energy to stay that long hours on the piano. I think you did exceptionally well. I myself tried to learn pretty difficult pieces, which where way to hard for my level of knowledge. What I found out eventually: You can start to learn whatever piece you like but there is no shortcut. If a piece needs 10 years of experience to master it, it will take you 10 years to learn. In the end it's not the most effective way to to learn piano; cos in the end you will be able to play one piece. Hence, you're still a one trick pony. Learning pieces according to your level will give leave you with a complete reportoire filling an entire evening.
So even so I don't like the pieces I'm able to play I'm no going for the low hanging fruit.
@@franzschubert9608 Oh yeah thanks for the correction Schubert.

The first section isnt what makes la campanella a very difficult piece.
Still difficult for a beginner.
Having played piano for 10 years now, I'm amazed! If you've never played piano before, the large jumps, especially octaves, don't come nearly as easily. Also, the trap of the opening of La Campanella is to forget about the melody, and play the little bells at the top of the right and far too loudly. You didn't do that at all, in fact, your voicing was amazing! It goes to show that musical concepts and sensitivities do transfer from instrument to instrument
I had no idea hahah😂 Thank you! Yes I really only know River flows in you so I can’t say that I’ve practiced those things before!
I have playng piano no Day i have playng guitar 4 year
I honestly doubt there's an instrument out there that is "easy"
Music holds endless possibilities.
Yep so true!
Yes, thank you!
What about the kazoo?
@@onyxzheng347 kazoo is also not easy to listen so it's like double hard )
Tambourine
It makes me sad when people say Liszt is the hardest. Bro, play Sorabji, it's like taking Liszt's difficultly and squaring it.
Fr
Sorta i guess.
Fun fact: Liszt composed and played this song perfectly in less than one hour.
If you compose yourself it might be that you are a little bit biased towards the stuff that you like and can perform.. although he must be pretty good at composing to be able to play it afterwards if he didn't compose and play at the same time
I'm so proud of you, and I don't even know you.
Hahaha
For only 10 days as a beginner pianist you played really well!
Thank you!!
I agree a ton
Following advice:
Play this piece in short chunks. Play the chunks first for the right hand, then for the left hand and then for both hands. Play it slowly Note for Note. If you feel like you got it then just try using a metronome at very slow Rates and play it rhytmically.
Watch if you make any mistakes. If you make one try to fix them as soon as possible. It's way easier fixing mistakes sooner because later on your brain just remembers the mistake and getting rid of it is a long and painful proces.
Watch your posture. Just ask any good piano teacher how to sit properly.
Practice the scale la campanella is written in. There are some some tutorials out there how to practice the scales.
And work on it every day. Your brain jus can handle certain amount of skill gained every day. Like the first 30 minutes your brain can really focus but it looses it overtime. Taking brakes. Making progress every day will be the most effective way to practice it. Also skipping days will make your progress go backwards.
That's my advice
The sad part is that this is the easy part of the song
The thing i absolutely love about mattias is that he acctually shows his struggles, unlike other youtubers who juat make it look so easy without any errors 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
ahh my pianist heart was breaking seeing you practice so fast 🥺 I used to skip through the slow practice stage growing up and my teacher would tell me that it's way more impressive when you can play something slowly but correctly and with emotion, you progress much faster that way too and don't need to work on correcting things you learned by playing too fast too quickly
Actually I did practice slow during practice! But for the recordings, I had to perform fast to kind of show how far I got so people could compare😅
@@Mattiaskrantz yeah I know you were just going fast in the beginning haha I'm glad you practiced slow ☺️
Fast? I literally have practiced it for 56 attempts and I was doing better than his 5,000. That's obviously a hard piece but it's not that hard
@@oscarbellmunt5519 ah the big man who's been playing piano for 3+ years must be so happy with yourself
@@oscarbellmunt5519 good for you I guess?
As a wise man once said:
"Don't do drugs
Do music"
End up broke either way huh
Hahah yeahhh
Just do both
Then some mf in the 60s said "fuck it lets do both"
try kids
There are definitely some “Liszt secrets” to help with this piece.
First, the jumps are relatively slow so take care to play the bottom and top voice well separated from each other (as indicated by the staccato). This means that you don’t only move from side to side but up and down for each note. It also means you have to think in sixteenth notes rather than eighths. This gives good control of both the melody and the clock.
Second, don’t stretch for the high d#. Hit it almost from above, so as not to touch the c#. The first point enables this. Also, depending on your anatomy hit it with 3, 4 and 5 more or less all together in a very relaxed touch.
All this should sort of feel like you are playing it in octaves.
'your hands are very free like sausages' is the most poetic thing I've ever heard.
Big ups on the determination dude 🤘
I was looking for this comment, lol. 😁
Idk why but this kinda feels like playing a PC with a Wii Remote
What hahaha
Honestly I'm amazed that you even learned that much of this piece in such little time!
Thank you😂🙏
Your perseverance is inspiring. I'll practice guitar when I finish watching this.
“I don’t know how to play piano ” Immediately gets a simply piano add
Lol “so I hired a private investigator on fiver to find out the key to learning piano” 😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Lol as a pianist its hard to hear him say “hardest piece ever” cuz its not
I blame google😍
oh? and what is?
@@nathanielcutajar if we're talking humanly playable by people with 10 relatively average length fingers (many composers wrote impossible music or impossible without freakishly large hands), many of his earlier gallops and etudes are harder and are considered at/near the limit of humanly possible, La Campanella is conventional in comparison.
@@nathanielcutajar check out rousseau and his top 10 in the description of his video he has a good list and alot of liszts other works are harder
"Etudes d'Execution Transcendante d'Apres Paganini S.140, No.4" is definitely a piece that can be considered the _actual_ hardest piano piece. here's a video of it: czcams.com/video/NwRO89Sag8I/video.html
1:28-ish and onwards on that video is literally insane
I love this piece, and I respect the effort put behind learning a difficult piano piece, especially one arranged by Franz Liszt and made by Paganini
There's a reason why absolutely every pianist/piano teacher will tell you to be more relaxed and do it slowly, because it's effective, if you try to pick up the tempo from the start, there will be close to zero progress, but if you practice slowly and in a calm/relaxed manner the results will be much more drastic. another problem your encountering is your body, the reason pianist are struggling to truly learn this piece is because it needs to have a trained body, more specifically finger/hand muscle training and flexibility training, what you're trying to do in this video, meaning learning la Campanella in 12 days, is the same as new starting weightlifter trying to pull up 120 KG weight, but still, it was a fun video to watch.
I admire your perseverance, that's what it takes to learn to play a instrument
Thank you haha😄😄
HOLY WAAAAARS
Awesome man, for a first timer you did great.
Thank you!!
Your dedication is just unbelievable, as a piano student, great job! Now I'm curious to learn la campanella myself, I should try it next summer
I'm really impressed by how quickly a beginner could learn La Campanella, I'm currently learning it myself, however I've the added bonus of having classical training for a year-ish. It's nice to see with determination one can get so far in La Campanella.
(And yeah those octave jumps are sure as heck difficult, there was a bigger octave jump that was skipped but it's certainly not easy)
Meanwhile in a parallel universe: piano is sooo easy, try guitar
Hahaha
Now I’m not a master at piano or anything like that, but I’ve been playing the piano for quite a few years now, and here are some tips that seriously changed my life:
1. Divide the passage into different sentences, and work on one sentence first, try to more or less master it, and then move on to the next sentence.
2. Practice with each hand separately UNTIL YOU MASTER EACH HAND ON ITS OWN. If you can’t play it perfectly with one hand, how do you expect to be able to play it perfectly with both hands?
3. Both during the single hand practice and when practicing together, start really slowly and with a lot of dynamic
(in other words, press the keys as hard as you can, even if it says to practice more gently).
4.Only when you are comfortable playing with both hands with decent rhythm on the whole piece, start to add the pedal and change of dynamics.
5. Try to memorize each hand separately, and every now after mastering the piece, every now and again, like once every other week, try to practice the hands separately again and with a slow tempo, so that you won’t mess it up later, and when working on other pieces.
6. As soon as you can, try to learn the scales (all the main major and minor scales) as well as their chords and arpeggios, and repeat them daily. Those will make learning new pieces just sooooo much easier.
7. I struggle with this last one as well, but TRY TO use a metronome while practicing. At least in the early stages of learning the piece. When you’re half-decent at it, you can ditch it if you feel comfortable with the rhythm.
Aaa great comment!! Thank you🙏🙏🙏
if anyone could provide some resources to learn step 6 i would appreciate it.
@@GamerDemonz There are many books and resources on the subject, and you can find all of them with a simple google search. It is not really my place to suggest books, but of the top of my head, Hanon exercises Volume 1, and another book called “scales and arpeggios” (I don’t remember who the author is), have all the basics you need, plus extra exercises to reinforce what you’ve learned.

Jokes aside, I'm really happy you're uploading again man. We really missed you ☺❤ Keep going!
Thank you bro!!❤️😍😍😍
I compliment you. You didn’t cheat. You spent hours each day trying to find a way to learn this piece without any piano experience. I’m impressed with your perseverance. And you were making some progress.
This is in stark contrast with some CZcams videos claiming beginner status and learning comparable pieces within 10 days. Or showing progress over 1 year. This effort was obviously real. And I as a guitar player and pianist, I appreciate that.
Thank you so much! Very nice comment Ken🙏❤️

Oh my I got a reply!! (Fan girling 😂)
(Although I already know you’re answering all the comments hah)
Paderewski recorded La Campanella He said that the hardest piece to play was Chopin's 21st. Etude (Op. 25 No. 9), nicknamed "The Butterfly". Opinions differ, but this is a very special opinion, because Paderewski achieved performances that went beyond merely playing the notes, injecting the music with sublime meaning. It is a more meaningful goal to learn a technically simple piece which is interpretively difficult, than a mediocre performance of a technical composition. Secondly, an acoustic piano, even a cheap one, is needed to achieve a suitable level of expressiveness. That's because of the interactive resonance of the strings which is accomplished through dynamics, phrasing, and damper pedal.
Man thats actually inspiring.
La campanella is definetly NOT the hardest piece its just different. It has lots of quick jumps and hard techniques but musically its pretty straight forward. I bet it would have been MUCH harder to learn even liebestraum no.3 or some chopin etudes. The arguably hardest pieces are: gaspard de la nuit, mephisto waltz, el contrabandista, hungharian rhapsody no. 2 and others
Think you forgot Hammerklavier by Ludwig van Beethoven.
Nah liebestraum no3 is ez. But la campanella isnt the hardest piece! Rondo fantastique el contrabandista is really hard
La Campanella is at least 10x harder than liebestraum 3. I think the hardest music is by sorabji. He has made multiple pieces that take like 10 hours to play.
@@joost505 have you heard the piece rondo fantastique el contrabandista? Here is the link: czcams.com/video/BCwwyAegBPA/video.html
It is amusing to see that you didnt include the Liszt Paganini Etude No. 6 and 4 (1800's version) these piece of 1800's rendition are the hardest actually, no one can play these piece at their original tempo, if anyone could play these pieces with a good amount of accuracy and on the original tempo, he is no longer a human.
that's really amazing , playing a part of a really hard piece while being a beginner I think that it will be amazing if you continue to learn this piece, ok it will take a lot of time but then you can prove to the whole world that's learning hard pieces while being a beginner is possible. I really like this video continue.
Yeah maybe I will learn the whole thing!! thank you!!😄😄
omg well done you did so good!
Dude great job 👏👏
Try petrushka by Stravinsky, that's a really hard piece (More than la campanella)
Aah interesting! Thanks!
@@Mattiaskrantz hey i personally dont agree that its the hardest peice but great job i think winter wind and 3rd movement are wayyyyy more difficult
@@Eqnzo
I agree with winter wind being more difficult, idk about moonlight sonata 3rd movement though.
@@awe331 3rd movement is way harder
@@Eqnzo
winter wind definitely moonlight sonata movement 3 nope
I am leaving a like on this video. I love you, Mattias. this video has actually motivated me to be like you. no one can do this much effort but you did it. Good luck
OK. I saw you restring a piano with guitar strings, and now I've seen this. I noted how you put in the time and effort to respond to comments and you come across as super genuine. Taken together, you have earned my sub, man! I hope great things for you and your channel!
This guy needs more attention for the amount of grind he's putting in!
just wanted to know .....r u still reading the comments😅
Yes I will answer for 4 days😂
nice man
@ֺ Indeed.
@@amerrylittlemonarch indeed.
@@ValzainLumivix Indeed.
I did this with the third movement of moonlight sonata. It was the third full piece I learned (für Elise and minuet). Many hours but worth it. Don’t regret it. Now doing the first movement of pathetique and play piano pretty often. 100% recommend
if i pickup a keyboard i am probably going to try and learn third movement first and then für elise
@@emmareporter4324 I really recommend not to do so. The 3td movement is challenging and will only fuck up your technique if you start with it
@@Miksu__ i wanna give it a try to get a hang of it slowly or something
@@emmareporter4324 If you're gonna play without a teacher, at least start eith fur elise first. The 3rd movement of Moonlight sonata is not a beginner piece and your hands will most likely get hurt if you try playing it in real tempo
@@Miksu__ alright then
this is pretty impressive tbh
im now motivated to keep up the grind wit practicing both the guitar and the piano
he was only practicing the essayist part of the simplified version of La Campanella (look up La Campanella 1838 version if interested).
KING! I'm glad you're posting more often
You are IING

Challenge:
Play something good ONLY using Mobile Guitar Apps.....
Oooh interesting!!
@@Mattiaskrantz do it
Here is some general advice:
whenever practical, do not use your thumb or little finger on the black notes. Those fingers are shorter and have a hard time reaching that far
Try to use a note as an anchor point before changing hand positions. So if you hit a note and then have to go up a few notes to a different one, keep that first finger on that first note and stretch your hand up to the next one if possible. You may have to work out a specific fingering that works for you. Don't have your hand jump from one note to the next if possible.
So in La Campanella, after the octaves at the beginning, when you have to hit that black note with your little finger followed by your thumb, don't leap. Pull your thumb in toward your little finger, and when your thumb gets to that note, reach out your little finger to hit the next one.
The next part will probably require some leaps from you, but you can use one of the black notes between the high note that you have to hit with your little finger and the melody notes you have to hit with your thumb as an anchor point. Even though you never press down on it, you can use it as a reference point. Try using your pointer finger on the Gb for this. If that doesn't work, try a different black note.
Lastly, when you are playing the piano using black and white notes, try to play the Black notes close to the end of the key, and play the white notes just below that (at the top of the wide portion of the white note) it minimizes the forward and backward movement when you shift from a white note to a black note and vice versa.
Hope this helps!
Mattias, You're quite a remarkable young man with enormous talent!! Keep up the good work!
You know, this was randomly recommended to me literal minutes after waking up... But I’m not complaining
Oooh! Thank you CZcams and thank you for clicking the video!
Hello Mattias! Nice video, I admire your patience. I am a pianist, will try to learn this piece too. Wish me luck 😅
I wish you Luck Adriel😂🙏
Wow, you have so much patience and perseverance! Great job 👏👍
Hey just wanted to say I love your content
Wow that turned out so good! I don't really have good video ideas for you but keep it up man, you content is always awesome!
Love you!! Thanks!
“Hardest piece invented by man”
Not sure bout that one
I thought the same.
It's not near the hardest piece. 😂
Ritord
To anyone who is well learned in Classical music, hearing someone call this the ‘hardest piano piece by man kind’ is painful 😂😂
there's the whole hungarian rhapsody, and there's this 9 hour long piece
@@paper2222 if you want hard then look up Liszt's transcriptions of all 9 of Beethoven's Symphonies or Liszt's B minor Sonata or Balakirev's Islamey or Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit or Beethoven's Sonata Op. 106.
This video was very relatively, thank you for making it 😃
this is the funniest youtube video i've ever seen in such a long time, you made me laugh so much. thank you Mattias
