Hi Annique, I've been waiting for you to do this piece for a long time. Your interpretation is super satisfying. I was a little sad when the performance ended so shortly. Can you please do a part 2 like you did with the Friska part of Hungarian Rhapsody no.2?

Well done Annique, you done very well, I just downloaded the whole sheet music of mazeppa on tomplay, and my brain 🧠 was doing gymnastics, it Is incredibly difficult, so what you just done is very impressive, I had a great play on my digital piano today, I played Mozart f major 1st movement k332, and the k331 Mozart theme and 6 variations, and rondo alla turca, as well as various pieces by Beethoven like fur elise and the moonlight sonata 1st movement, and Scott Joplins the entertainer and Maple leaf rag, very relaxing and enjoyable, greetings from wales uk 😀

Mazeppa is no joke!!! So hard, but I love it.

When I found out that you posted another 1 min, 10 min, 1 hour video....I nearly fainted. I prefer to watch this in class instead of doing my work ngl

0:44 as a French, I think you pronounced it really well !

I finally got a new piano after using an out of tune broken piano and upgraded to a restored steinway model A. And i can finally practice the 4th ballade again

I never thought you'd play Mazeppa! I have recently played the 12th Etude of this set, "Chasse Neige," which I find my favorite of the entirety of the set. But I'm planning on learning Mazeppa VERY soon!

Good ol' Liszt, he is 'the hold my beer' composer amongst all the Romantics.

I loved the Beethoven’s sonata in the background ❤

Great! Looking forward to watching you tackle the Mazeppa. Next time please do the Feux Follets challenge 🎉❤

​@@peterchan6082 yea all the etudes sound musical (whatever this really means) if played right. Feux follets is the most fun to listen to in my opinion, I just meant that a few other ones are Idk more exciting/"well sounding" to me And I said musically because you probably recommended feux follets due to the technique needed to play it, so I pointed a few maybe a bit "less difficult" pieces out lol

You getting scared by the timer is the funniest thing haha

Since the first time I watched one of your videos I always wanted a Mazeppa one, happy it's finnaly here, my favourite Liszt etude :)

I'm not French but I'm an advanced student and that pronunciation was on point.

You always amaze me when you tackle new pieces in this challenge. I always look forward to watching them. As always, you're incredible! :)

Wow! Ich lerne seit Oktober wieder Klavier, nach 1 Jahr Keyboard als Kind, aber das ist über 20 Jahre her. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit meinem Fortschritt, aber zu sehen wie schnell ein Profi lernt ist wirklich der Hammer und für mich eine tolle Motivation😊😊😊

that was amazing Annique congrats !😄

Because of the right fingering, you produced an effect in the first two bars that a large majority of pianists fail to do so ! Bravo ! You have succeeded 😄

@Quotenwagnerianer

Ай бұрын

It should be self evident that these Etudes should only be played with Liszt's original fingerings. They are Etudes after all and they contain a didactic element that will be lost if one ignores what Liszt asks.

@@Quotenwagnerianer Very true.. many pianists (popular professionals) butcher the fingering, but almost never recreate the effect... it shows that one shouldn't put their arrogance over the composers. The intended sound is what we need to aspire for, and even if the tempo has to be slowed down for it, it is acceptable

Hii Anique!!! I love your videos!! I just started the video and I'm already excited about how it's going to turn I hope you are well!🎉

Omg yesss! I've been waiting for thiss!!! Amazing video btw :)

Annique do the rondo of Waldstein in that challenge Idk if it’s too special to interest lots of ppl but would definitely watch it

First of all, your hand moves very clear And Since I watched Your Videos I ABSOLUTLY LOVED YOUR CHALLENGES And i bet you to play Rachmininoff Prelude OP.3 NO.2 I know That It Is Hard But Not Hard To You Wish You All The Best Pianist David

Wow, that was a humdinger of a challenge!! Thank you, I did indeed enjoy it!

Omg I screamed loudly when I saw the title and the video !

😊keep doing these challenges

THANK GOD I VE BEEN WAITING FOR IT

Always nice to play something by my great friend Franz, keep up the good work!

Congratulations, amazing video! 🏆 I'd love to watch new episodes of this challenge dedicated to the other Transcendental Etudes, especially Chasse-neige

Finally, I’ve been waiting for this

YEESSSSSSS!!!!!! I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!

I think you should learn the whole piece, I already really like your interpretation of that section 👀

Currently practicing Mazeppa. The piece is definitely a really tough one and still is a lot easier than some others of the same set imo., but still the most lyrical one of all of them, since the story of Mazeppa, based on Victor Hugo's poem, can be worked out of this piece pretty easily, while keeping a huge dramatic line. The fingering of the thirds in the side melody of the main melody is a good example of it. Would love to hear your full interpretation of Mazeppa. I believe you would manage this piece really well!

As a french, I think your pronunciation was 7.5/10 !

yo mon gars

Nice Video and a symphatic performer 😊

When I used to played this I just play all the upper notes with the RH and the lower notes with the LH. Much simpler than having hands colliding trying to get those cumbersome 3rd's and 4'ths. Some people want the challenge of playing it the way it is written but I say "If there's an easier way to get the same result, take it."

I'm more of a banger than a concert artist. Mazeppa has been a work in progress for me for the past 50 years...maybe someday!

really well done! it took me an hour just to read the first page lol, forget playing it. also I'm really glad you took out the red cross with the aggressive buzz when you make a mistake, and that you keep playing as far as you can :)

Waiting for the day Annique managed to complete a piece within one minute.

YES THANK YOU!!

That was fun to watch!

You're amazing! You should try the 1st mov. from alkan symphony for solo piano, I love this piece

Your hair looks soo cuteeeeeee :>>

yehh ive been waiting for this kind of content

I played it for an amateur students concert last year. I'm a 43 year old amateur and I spent about 6 months learning it with about an hour practice every day. It's really difficult but super fun to play. :)

Annique!!! That timer! 😃🤩✌🏻🫶

I have heard many people play it. I think my favorite version was Claudio Arrau. He really captured the picture of a galloping horse with a dust cloud under them as the hooves hit the dirt. The middle section, although very short, is as beautiful as the other parts are brutal.

This piece break my finger

Fantastic

if you look for hard yet beautiful pieces to read as challenge, just try for Scriabin late sonatas ;D

Ooooo, Mazeppa in 1 hour. So much fun. 😂

TROP BIEN ! Concert en France prévu??

Could you do "Réminiscences de Don Juan" for the next 1 min, 10 min, 1 hour challenge ? I know it's one of the hardest piece and would like to see how much you struggle learning it ^^ Also could you make the video longer so we can see more how you learn a piece, it's fun to watch :)

Awesome try, Annique ! Next challenge would be Liszt's Trascendetal Etude No5 feux follets.! Viel Erfolg !!!

there's actually an INTRO before the main part, but you're doing great!

You should attempt Scriabin’s Etude Op 42 no 5

Great job! The fourth transcendental etude is indeed one of the most difficult etudes among all 12 transcendental etudes by Franz Liszt. I would be very interested to hear this sketch in its entirety in your interpretation, dear Annique! Next time please do the challenge: Liszt Transcendental Etude No. 10 in F minor.

hi I just wanted to say you're really good! i'm starting to take piano lessons and you're a hugee inspo to me: ) don't wanna be that person, but I have a couple questions. how do you sightread so good?! like does it come after years of experience or do you do exercises for it? also, do you have any tips for beginners? finally, can you try flight of the bumblebee if you havent already: ) great job on this piece btw!!

You pronounced "technique d'éxecution transcendante" well. Good job !

your accent when talk french is pretty good😁

I can assure you that your french pronunciations were perfect ! Great work anyways, I would really like to see a challenge on Ravel's Jeux d'eau

I had a lot of fun with some of Sergei Lyapunov's Transcendental Études, e.g. Térek, Lezghinka, or the absolutely magical Ronde des Fantômes and Ronde des sylphes. Fun fact, Lyapunov's etudes are inspired by Liszt's, i.e. programmatic, quite difficult yet very pianistic and once you get the hang of it, such a joy to play!

Think that one is tough, try Feux Follets, Ricordanza and Harmonies du soir are really beautiful as well. I love Preludio to start. Listen to the great Jorge Bolet play these. Love your videos and your personality! Best.

I love apple music classical ❤

Lol le preux by Alkan might be fun for you. Also, I love the Lego Ideas grand piano set in the background!

Great stuff, as always! Have you played or considered trying anything by Alkan? He’s another great composer and piano virtuoso, often overshadowed by his close friends and colleagues Chopin and Liszt (Liszt even considered him the best pianist). Some of his etudes like Comme le vent, Scherzo diabolico or the Symphony for solo piano could be perfect for this kind of challenge.

Ui das wird spannend :)

Annique, I know these warhorse showpieces are probably those that will bring the biggest audience on such a channel, but if you ever want to delve deeper into Liszt's well of sheer endless piano pieces, I recommend combining the first version of "Les cloches de Genève" from the "Album d'un Voyageur" (where the name of the city is censored as ****) with his Variations on "Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen". Both pieces were written with the same person in mind: His daughter Blandine. "Les Cloches" he wrote at age 24, as a berceuse for the baby, when she was his firstborn. And you hear all the feelings of a young father in it. The second one he wrote after she had died age 26, two months after giving birth herself. And neither of them will cause an existential crisis over their difficulty. ;)

These would be 2 very interesting challenges: Leopold Godowsky's Concert Paraphrase on Die Fledermaus; or a transcription of Art Tatum's 1933 or 1939 recordings of Tea for Two. They're two of my favourites, but crazily difficult.

Great Video as always! What about Prokofiev‘s “Dance of the Knights“ for the next challenge ;)

Have you ever learnt any Medtner, would love to hear some challenges like this with his sonatas!!!

Hey. You know scriabin prelude Op.11 No.14? Maybe you could give it a try

I played no.1 ,no.2, no.4, no.8 now i learning no.10 (btw nice video)

would love to hear transcendental etude 8 wilde jagd!

I learned the 12th etude, it’s really difficult but a fun piece to play!

Oh go away

Jorge Bolet plays 4-2 fingering all the way. Very few pianists recorded with original fingering. Of course he plays a lot slower than we are used to ear just because he is making justice to Liszt's intentions on finger articulation and tempo of the Étude. Check out his recording!

Which recording? He recorded 4 versions over the years. His last was in the mid 80's on Decca which were somewhat slower. His playing is sublime.

@@nickk8416 The recording of 1972 already has the correct fingering. I agree, It is sublime.I also like Arrau but Bolet has the merit of trying the correct fingering. Even Frederic Lamond (pupil of Liszt) played Feux Folets a lot slower (just like Arrau did in that case). Speed wasn't that fast in Liszt's time and a lot of recordings of pupils prove it... The "story telling" was a lot more important, just like Liszt remembered in his Masterclasses.

Could you try this challenge with Liszt's second Transcendental Etude sometime?

Mazeppa is amazing ❤ But i have a request could you do the etude no.6 by franz listz/pagannini

A Chopin Barcarolle challenge would be awesome!

0:42 You prononced it very well 😮

I guess Liszt's reputation for being virtuosity was well founded ! I am sure you could do a great job with Mazeppa though :-) After that extreme challenge may I suggest something a little less daunting ? Perhaps Grieg "Butterfly" from Lyric pieces Opus 43 no. 1 ?

Can you please do Transcendental etude no.5 "Feax Follets"?

French pronunciation was wunderbar :)

what's the piece in the sponsored segment at the start again?

I’m playing Chasse Neige rn.Mazeppa is scaring me a little bit

Ohh this is very hard challenge ❤! The great idea is to try Alkan famous piece : "Le Chemin de Fer"(The Railroad) Op. 27 is very very hard 😢 i wait for the next video..

8:15 how about Chopin's Nocturne in Ab Op.32 no.2? (love it❤) by the way I love your videos😊😊

Maybe do a 1 minute, 10 minute, 1 hour, 10 hour, 1 day challenge?
