Bruh
Remember, don't play the butter notes 😎👍
Hamelin’s performance of Liszt’s Paganini Etude No.5 also has equally bubbly-sounding notes. I have no idea how he’s able to achieve that sound on the piano, and I know of no one else who does it like him.
Hold on the video is not Liszt Grande etude de Paganini no 5 it’s Liszt concert etude no 3
@@IEEMAZ_Convoluted_14.2.8.5 I know. I was mentioning another video where Hamelin’s performance had this quality.
@@Varooooooom oh ok
It has to do with many things. Hamelin is playing those notes very accurately and rapidly, so technique is a part of it. Second, the piano itself has a wonderful tone - generally speaking, playing on good pianos can indeed make your performance sound better (as in, it can make it seem as though you have a better technique than you actually have, because of the piano's naturally better sounding mechanisms). For example, the arpeggios on this performance wouldn't sound 'bubbly' if Hamelin was playing in, say, Paul Barton's Bechstein.
Lastly, I do believe the acoustics of the room play a major role on how good a performance can sound. The notes here have just the right amount of reverb to achieve this more atmospheric sound.
@@cadenzalien4554 It’s hilarious that you mention Paul Barton, because as I wrote my comment, I was also thinking about his performance of this same piece as one where the scales don’t sound quite as lush. I think about that all the time actually, how differences in acoustic details (or other things that can be left out of our control i.e. timbre or even stamina) can utterly transform a performance/interpretation.
That all being said, I’m still pretty inclined to believe that a lot of it has to do with Hamelin’s extremely fluid technique. If you listen to his Paganini Etude No.5 performance, after the glissando sweeps, there are segments that just sound so bubbly (idk how else to describe this haha). Contrast that with, say, his performance of Alkan’s Concerto for Solo Piano Mvt. III, and the sound differences that he employs start to become much more obvious, to me at least. Same thing goes for his TV performance of Hamelin Etude No.12, the descending notes before going into the Fugue; different acoustics entirely, but the rubbery quality of his technique is just unlike anyone else’s.
Thanks for your response btw! I’ve also heard that Hamelin plays to the acoustics of a venue extremely well, so please don’t think I’m dismissing your comment whatsoever!! Just offering some things I’ve noticed too haha
I am going to predict the 8 voice fugue from the grand sonata is next.
Whose?
@@itamarbar9580
Alkan
Lol I knew exactly what you meant without even asking! Technically though it's an 11-voice fugue, including doublings
@@mwsc04 Just a little extra clickbait on the thumbnail. ;)
Good prediction
I generally don't like Hamelin's interpretations, but there are ones like this that are out of this world amazing. He's a phenomenal pianists; there's absolutely no denying that.
I Can't Believe It's Not Three Hands! Tastes the same to me
Definitely the best video title and thumbnail by TheExarion in this format so far.
weird I literally just had a dream that I was learning this piece lmao
I can't believe it's not margarine!
Essa é uma ótima demostração do toque Jeu'perlé.
That was a really buttery scale.
🥶🗿🤙
that is like chopsticks to him
Best version of this piece imo.
Must Check out Bolet, Cziffra and Arrau's interpretations
Imo they're the best
It might be very unpopular, but Lang Lang's version is at a very high standard as well. I know, the man is not widely loved, but one composer he plays very accurately is Liszt.
I hate this version tbh it’s rushed
Like the other guy said, I hate this version as well. It's too rushed. Claudio Arrau's is the best one to me. And there are other recordings from lesser known pianists who are better than this.
@@mazeppa1231 by that you mean me I presume
Sacerdotal
Hamelin!
Butter
I am practicing this piece, and I have no idea hiw he did it...
아믈랭 1997 도쿄 리사이틀은 ㄹㅇ 전설이다...
Read the title again but pretend you’re a snake

Title checks out again
These are arpeggios with an episode of a scale.....however...a l l scintillating

Un Sospiro
What a lovely piece of music, the well known Benediction of God in the solitude by Franz Lizt. Many many thanks. Jim from AUSTRALIA.
what is ambient mode?
I actually hate this version it’s too rushed
No it's not
@@GUILLOM well in my opinion the speed is too fast
