Liszt - Transcendental Etude No. 5 - Feux Follets
on: August 02, 2013, 07:55:54 AM
I've been working on that for a little while, I think it's pretty decent now.
Sorry about the blur at the beginning, the auto focus got confused somehow D:

Awesome! 8) I'd love to hear it on a real piano, though I'm impressed at your accuracy on the digital. Tempo and flow start to lose their steam toward the end, but in time that will not be an issue. Actually, I could hardly imagine losing steam in such a musical way...you kind of just let it wind itself down. It's impressive musicality to go along with that razor sharp technique.

Oh...this is one transcendental which truly transcends me. I lament at its difficulty!

Bravo! Your technique looks quite good to me, and a great deal of hard stuff is sounding easy!

I too would love to see you play this on a real piano.

IMO, since the tempo marking is Allegretto, I think your speed is just right-it definitely doesn't need to go faster. Perhaps it could find a tiny bit more flexibility in this tempo? Many people did marvel at Liszt's ability to keep absolute time, so it certainly works the way you do it.

Very high-level rendition, thanks!

Yes, it was well played. I watched it two more times, actually.

I think you could achieve a more whimsical, playful character now that you have such incredible accuracy and rhythmic vitality already under your belt with it.

I am reeeaally impressed! I was already a bit suspicious when I saw a topic named Feux Follets, and after seeing it was on a digital I almost laughed. But as soon as you started playing... wow. You changed my mind about digitals, you made it sound so beautiful! Congratulations. And may I ask, is this the general level for this forum? I just started here and I wanted to know...
And again... I'm speechless. Congratulations.
