You know the last one is bad when it has to be played on a MIDI 💀

Strakosch and Alkan are literally something that only a Chernobyl's resident can surely play

the ending octaves in liszt are pretty sightreadable IMO, its just chromatics. The same cant be said for the beginning octaves tho lmao

But the most easiest octaves piano piece may be the maiden prayer.

I would have been disappointed if Alkan’s Le Preux wasn’t in this video. Yi-Chung Huang’s performance of this is incredible 👌

Busoni's Piano Concerto also has some very complex octaves in every movement except 5th. I vividly suggest everyone to go see Hamelin's performance on KZread, you'll see the absurdly difficult octaves he plays (especially in 4th movement 52:20 or something)

@@acactus2190 thank you for your answer. Another piece I would mention is Adolf Henselt's Concerto in F minor. You will find lots of octaves right there

You should have put the octave passage in Busoni's concerto.

Yay! You’re back with more Mr. Incredible! 🎹✨

d'Albert's Piano Concerto no.2 been more beautiful, less terrifying. Schumann's Toccata too.

Kinda sad this meme died

Luv the selection of pieces. Interesting how you put La Campanellas Octaves above the coda to Liszt piano concerto 1. Imo whenever I try to play the octaves in the concerto I hav a harder time (mostly on a musical scale but also I feel I get a bit more tired. Im surprised you didnt put the octave passage from the Liszt Sonata.

Sorabji Sonata No. 1 (19:53 onwards in the Hamelin recording) and Liszt-Horowitz/Liszt-Horowitz-Volodos HR15 also have some crazy octaves

Might I suggest parts of Amy Beaches first piano concerto? Not as octave flashy but still

Lol, on organ you just pull another 4' stop and there goes your octave effects. Don't practice harder pianists, just switch instrument. Thank me later

please be more active. you are the only one who still uses this meme.

ooh, lots of great pieces. I would put debussy way higher tho, as in terms of octaves its not the most difficult sections in the list sonata or tchaik

The Yankee Doodle part is upbeat

I thought the 2nd piece was Yankee Doodle Concert Variations by Strakosch 💀

They sound similar 😂

What about Horowitz Funerailles in 1932, or his 1952 octaves with Szell also Grynyuk octaves at Liszt sonata, Hamelin in his cadenza from Hubgarisn Rhapsodie 2 👀👀

could someone tell me who is playing la campanella please, his interpretation is really nice

Where's the Cziffra's flight of the bumblebee transcription? impossible level, especially at the tempo and force with which he himself performs

You where is the chopin etude lmao😊

I mistakenly thought that the last ossia of the 3rd movement of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 was difficult.

Wheres hamelins hr2?

who is playing la campanella in the video?

Why you always start with Mozart you don't like Wolfy or what

I think you should've included Alkan's Op. 35 No. 12, literally octaves the entire piece ☠️ Not to mention, where's Cziffra, the tritsch tratsch polka transcription is literally hell 😂

Beethoven/liszt 9° Symphony 4° mov left hands octaves
