Unpreformed Piano Piece (Impossible?????)
on: November 11, 2023, 06:17:52 PM
Has anyone ever made a live performance of Liszt's Galop in A Minor? When I search it, I only get computer-generated versions like this one:

Has it been done IRL? Or is it just that hard?
I only need one well-researched response. Thanks!

I don't have a comprehensive response, but this isn't computer generated, is it?



This one's live:

I kept trying to find a live performance, but couldn't find one. For all intensive purposes, I refuse to accept sheet music as a real performance.

Edit: The second one literally said he plays it horribly. Pretty good for such a hard piece though.

There are some more that say they play it badly ...







I guess it would be nice to see it played by other people. I didn't realize the difficulty of this one after Lisitsa's recording of El Contrabandista claiming that that was the hardest piece. Maybe she should record this. Difficulty's really subjective, but this piece definitely seems like it's up there. Because with El Contrabandista, catchiness is a problem, but here it isn't. This is a piece that draws you right in.
