LISZT 😍😍😍

I was kind of "obsessed " with this composer in my youth hahaha.

I broke at least two strings on my piano while practising some of his compositions. Awfully difficult pieces he wrote, technically and musically too. Never mastered them 100%. I also wanted to go back 100 years, and meet him in person and his circle. Many people don't even know about his strong philosophical side, I think everyone knows the music, especially the Hungarian Rhapsodies.

When we were in high school, we had several masterclasses with eminent piano teachers. One girl practised Mephisto Waltz:

I felt pain seeing her playing it lol, it is a serious finger- breaking activity 😂

Another gem from Liszt's opus is the famous La Campanella. No, I didn't play this one hahahha

I played a few other transcendental studies, some Hungarian Rhapsodies, then Nocturne no 3, The Rigoletto Paraphrase... Already at the uni, I played a dark one... Ballada in b minor:

Thanks for taking us to this trip to the past with this special person, Liszt Ferenc :)))

I must confess my sins. I did not want to use his name in the title of my post, I rather chose a neutral title. Did not want to tag you either as I don't ant to bother people. But I used his image, hoping you'll see it. You're the only qualified specialist here in this matter, I don't know anyone else 🤣.

I'm glad you like him too. I suppose he was a controversial musician post mortem as well, because he's not an easy one.

Many people don't even know about his strong philosophical side, I think everyone knows the music, especially the Hungarian Rhapsodies.

I know his music less, I mean i know a few pieces that are well known, but not like you or other musicians. I liked his biography and what I was able to read about him and I think we can thank him a lot.

Thanks for these videos, I'm going to watch them for sure.

So you would come with me then, to meet him? 😂 You would totally steal him from me 😳

By the way, I didn't know you can break piano strings too 😲 I suppose it's expensive to replace them, you most likely need specialist. Or can you fix it yourself?

Ow, maybe 😂

But depends on the time we are talking about. When he was young and handsome (oops, did I say this aloud?) or when older? If older, I know, wise and all that stuff, but... let's stay just in fiction trip hahaha

I didn't know you can break piano strings too

Of course, we can. When we hit with too much energy the strings. and his pieces needed many times that :D My father already "specialised" in the field because of me, there were different things to fix 😅

Now I have just a digital piano here... not the same feeling but life happens

Oh, I didn't mean it like stealing him as a man. I meant on a professional level. I would not be able to have a conversation with him about music, at a level you could. That's what I meant 😃
