    One of my dreams is to play this piece to a large crowd and feel all the emotions as I play, but only professional pianists can do that.. Another dream of love.

      "only professional pianists can do that", Am I a professional pianisit ? No, I'm not. I'm only 16 and i just finished learning the first four pages after many mounths. It isn't impossible at all, I personnaly used my passion for this piece and for the piano, also perseverance, and rigor/rightness (and probably other things such like that).
      I'm gonna make a record I guess, there is only 2 pages left ;)

    A-flat to B and back to A-flat, but the last A-flat, even though it is the same, is melancholic. This is how I have always interpreted this piece as love changes the world, it makes what is the same, different. A-flat is no longer sweet, you take with you the loss of the dream sequence, the memory of love, that bitter pill which is both life and the forever memory of loss. It is why Romanticism in all areas of the humanities will always be my favorite, they just encapsulate experience so well. Very much enjoyed your analysis, thank you.

When I heard him start to play this song on piano I was like,”who is that!!!?” Love Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy...when i heard this I thought this may be the most beautiful music I have ever heard (the third one). I couldn’t stop listening to it and learning it myself. I thought your analysis was excellent!!! Now can’t stop listening to Liszt! (And you!) ...when my boy cleans it up going to send you a video of him playing it..maybe hook you guys up for lessons. I think he actually looks like Liszt. Been listening to the Transcendental Etude 4...going to see if you have an analysis of that..another piece I can’t stop listening too...again..great analysis...thank you.

  • @richardkastlesucks
    @richardkastlesucks Před 7 lety

    I think it would be a really cool idea to analyze the first Mephisto Waltz :). It is based on a scene from Faust called, The Dance in the Village Inn. This is an awesome description, ""The Mephisto Waltz No. 1 (Liszt wrote three other pieces with the same title) is the composer's transcription of his own orchestral setting of an episode from Nikolaus Lenau's poem, Faust. The poem's relevant lines, which are reprinted on the title page of the score, describe the arrival of Mephistopheles and Faust at a village inn where a peasant wedding party is in progress. Mephistopheles tries to persuade Faust to seduce the innkeeper's beautiful daughter, but Faust holds back. Muttering that Faust may have courage enough to bet against the devil, but too little to try his luck with a wrench, Mephistopheles seizes a violin, tunes it, and thereupon provides a diabolically seductive and intoxicating tune that drives the dancers into a frenzy. At the climax, Faust runs off with the girl into the woods, where only the nightingale's song is heard and where they abandon themselves to 'the roaring sea of lust'."

    Ab - E isn't such a sharp contrast, that's not a satisfying explanation for the tonal relationships of the pieces. It's the "Versunkenheit" relationship as it's called in the German tradition (4 fifths lower, E being enharmonic of F-flat). As you made a connection with the loss of Chopin, it's interesting to notice that "Ab-E" was probably Chopin's most characteristic modulation. It happens in a lot of his pieces! Liszt most certainly knew that.
