 Hungarian rhapsody no 2 alternate cadenzas
December 01, 2010, 03:13:00 PM by 54545

I have found and played some of the alternate cadenzas Liszt wrote for the Hungarian rhapsody
no 2 for his pupil Lina Schmalhausen and Toni Raab. Why doesn't anyone play them in live performances or add them in recordings? I think they are as good as the principle text, maybe even better.
What are your opinions?

Any feedback appreciated, especially regarding technique or lack thereof:
Recorded with audacity from digital piano (roland hp305).
Keep in mind that I'm self though and have been playing for about 1,5 years, so don't expect anything too good.
Thanks

Hungarian Rhapsody 2- velocity scales
August 13, 2010, 06:08:17 PM by jehangircama

This piece has been a project of mine for quite some time now, and I think I've sorted out most of the technical issues. But I just cannot play the scale runs (A and F# major) before the finale at full speed, I think I'm at about 70% of what's required.
I've been trying things like 'grouping' a few notes, say 3 or 4 together, and trying to use my arm in an almost wavy motion to connect different groups, but am not getting very far with anything. I've obviously never come across a section at this speed before. Can someone give me an idea on how to work this through? Thanks a lot.

Hungarian Rhapsody no2 Friska critique (if you want) also other questions/help..
July 20, 2009, 05:06:10 PM by mjin1

Hello. I started playing the piano when i was very young, but my practice was inconsistent and I didn't start taking it seriously until about 3 years ago. I started taking lessons about 2 and a half years ago. I spent about a year and a half working tirelessly on the friska of Hungarian Rhapsody no2 because I really enjoyed the song. This is the culmination of my efforts:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd2frt753ws
PS: Most other videos on my youtube were done quite a while ago, so don't judge my playing from the rest of them, haha. I haven't gotten around to redoing the castlevania pieces.
Please be nice with your criticism, this is nowhere near a perfect run through of this piece. I spent the most time on the beginning of the piece, with all the fast repeating c#s, then i spent a great deal of time on the repeating c#'s using your pinky in your right hand. I believe these passages to be the most difficult of the entire piece to get up to a very fast tempo. The ending octaves did not come out as fast as I'd hoped, but I admittedly neglected them for the beginning of the piece. I simply spent all of my time doing those beginning passages.
While I plan on getting the piece cleaner and faster in some areas, I'm satisfied with how this run through turned out.
That being said, I haven't played the piece in around 4 months or so, because it was just stressing me out way too much. By the time I took that video in january, it would make me sick to think about sitting down and practicing it. Around early March, I decided to take my teachers advice, and give it a long rest so that it will hopefully get better when I bring it back in the future.
I've been working on the 6th Etude of the Grandes Etudes de Paganini since March, and it's been quite different, but still very difficult. I thought it would be a step down from the rhapsody, and while it may not be as fast, it's still grueling (I'm looking at you, variation 6.)
Anyways, one of my main problems is that I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. and I know everybody says that, but mine is very real. I have had it my entire life, and it has caused me great distress. Well ever since I've started concentrating on very technical piano work, it seems to have leaked into my practice and it's really messing with me..... Sometimes now I cannot tell what I'm even playing because i'm so worried about if my technique is right. Even if i may get the notes right, I worry about how my hands feel, and often end up not even sure what I played just 2 seconds ago. i'm probably going to find a doctor for this, because it is insanely difficult to deal with, but I wanted to ask if it really matters if I leave a slow repitition not perfect as my last repitition for a certain passage? I read about how important the 'last repitition' is in slow practice, and ever since then, I always get stuck doing the last one because i always think I am messing the technique up.. And not even something technical either.. I've sat there playing a G minor chord for an extra 30 minutes because I wasn't sure if i was pressing down the notes at the time.. ..... surely it's OCD, i know, but I still want to know what you guys think about 'the last repitition' being so important, and if it would be ok just to leave it alone even if it wasn't perfect.
Thank you.

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
