Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2
on: January 01, 2020, 01:53:02 PM
Hello everybody! I have been playing the piano for 5+ years now, so I decided to learn a Liszt piece because he was always my favorite classical composer. It is one of my favorite classical piece, Hungarian Rhapsody No 2. I'm at the half of 'Friska' section so I only recorded the 'Lassan' section. It is a very hard piece, and I'm an amateur pianist, but I will always keep learning to improve my performance. By the way the background is Esterházy castle from Hungary.

Let me know what do you think about this play :)

I think your interpretation sounds really nice! I can't comment on the performance aspect as I'm still a learner myself.

I'm afraid I don't agree with Ranjit. There are very many things to improve here. Your rhythm is shaky and your control of playing notes together is also not ideal. The scales are very uneven, and when something difficult comes, say the part around 1.30, you slow down in tempo.
The pedal is also often not right....

This piece is far above your level, I'm sorry. To like something, is not always enough.

Thank you for your response. Yes you are right. It's far from the professionals level which is required to play this piece, but I'm happy to play it :)
But you're totally right. I will revise it with the score in the future because I learned it half a year before and since then I didn't open the score just played it.
And of course I will practice it a lot to make it dynamically better.
