7:10 wow I love these smooth key changes

As a side note to this fantastic piece: one of the reasons why I am so glad Andrei made this scored video is that we get to see how many unusual performance instructions Liszt wrote in the sheet music. I have never seen PIANGEVOLE (weepingly), FIERAMENTE (proudly), INQUIETO (worriedly), DISPERATO (desperately) and DELIRANDO (deliriously) in a score before (that might just speak to my ignorance, though).

@@LM-oz2sc ​​⁠​⁠​​⁠ absolutely, these are key moments/ transitions as well 👌 I just opted to mention one of them because I tend to leave too many timestamps for score/ performance videos. Still, I’ll list some more for this piece. 2:29 (leading into 2:48), 3:33, 3:59, smooth downturn at 4:30, melody shift at 4:48, 5:22 (leading into 5:33), 5:54, 6:05, 6:26, theme return at 6:50, 7:18, 8:05, 8:27. All of these great moments, only confined to the first half of it all. To keep going- especially into the Finale- would practically involve listing every second. For simplicity’s sake, my favourites would have to be 2:48 (2:58), 3:59, 6:26 (6:50), 7:18 through Largo Dramatico’s close (9:45), 11:37, 12:57 (13:09), 14:27, 15:21 (obviously), 16:24, 16:51, 17:20 through the end of the piece (especially 17:54 & 18:22). The point I’m trying to make is that I typically just listen to the entire thing without paying much attention to timestamps because all of it is packed with splendor and I find it hard to pick which moments to jump to. Again, the transitions you mentioned are also very notable- the middle section is not one to be undervalued!

This is pure madness and I love it… Meyerbeer was one of those composers (as Rossini) who gave the most challenging vocal works in history and Liszt’s transcription is super mega exciting and fitting fantastically!!! Looove it! 🔥

The disc from Arnaldo Cohen that features this recording is AMAZING. He has some other supervirtuosic works on it, as well as some austere late works - all played in a very unique, technically perfect, musically exciting way. I never listened to this recording with the score before - only now I noticed that Cohen consistently defies the pedal directions regarding the characteristic left hand deep chromatic runs (starting from right at the beginning). For some that might be a negative (Howard would certainly strongly disapprove), but I like it - good to have different recordings, and it lends a certain rough, percussive quality to those passages that really fit the music.

I was confused when I read the description: "A stunning operatic fantasy, with an incredibly badass Finale. " - I'm little over 3 minuttes in, and already stunned by the badass-ness! I thought I was near the ending, when I read that description... ;)

For an operatic paraphrase this contains surprisingly little material from the opera. If you want to hear what Liszt took from it you have to sit through 4 of 5 acts before we finally get to it.

Nvm I read the description and it was😍

Chopin disdainfully called this kind of playing : "catching pigeons", also "vertical playing". I see his point. However it can be pleasant and a change from the annoying mozartian predictable cadences and trills. I think Chopin secretly understood that this music deserved its place in entertainment, he even liked Berlioz music which is going in the same direction for the orchestra (minus Liszt virtuoso treatment). Chopin said after i'm gone if you want to play something in memory of me, play some Mozart i will always appreciate it. I think this is a calculated interested statement because he thought his composition style was one of the legitimate successor of Mozart and that Liszt "catching pigeons" was not. By talking highly of Mozart he was indirectly complimenting himself or rather trying to gild his own style. I can only imagine how amused Liszt must have been and knew that Chopin didn't like his highly popular technical terror and fascinating energic soundscapes compositions and probably took an extra pleasure to compose more of them.

Bei aller Brillanz, bei allen gefühlvollen Stellen (wunderbar ausgekostet gespielt!) - die Schwachstelle der Komposition ist ihre Länge... und dagegen ist selbst ein so gewandter Pianist wie Arnoldo Cohen machtlos!
