sounds like an upright, you can hear that it isn’t electric - slightly out of tune and percussive
hey, faulty, good job, its a difficult piece, thanks for posting it, no matter how sloppy a rec is, we should be posting these for the sake of overcoming this monopoly.
the part with left hand E octaves and descending right hand F minor arpeggios followed by the gliss
That part should be almost an accelerando downwards
really, the whole piece could be a tad faster, but just give it some air if this is your first time learning it, and relearn it a second time, perform it live, etc.
This is how to get ridiculously fast at a Liszt piece.
Well fuck. I hoped you knew…I dl’ed it of da Classical Archives site a while back when was a membah and since then the pianist is gone and his name was removed from the site, I think it started with a Y and he was a random Russian mofo, but great fucking rec eh?
I’ll give you a couple…
2:29-2:32: I’m used to hearing that (and parallel parts) significantly faster.
11:22: This section a lot of people play around your speed, but I personally prefer it much faster. This is one reason why I love Ashkenazy’s recording, not only is it musical, but he executes this section EXACTLY as I want it (and I love this section).
In the middle lyrical section, I don’t like the resonance on the little fast part in between the variations. Maybe don’t pedal that section? Also, in the appearance of this section in the development, I don’t like the pedal either. That fast, unpedaled line should lead perfectly into the accompanying LH part. Again, I point to the Ashkenazy recording; he does this flawlessly.
Overall, though, very good job. You basically have the piece down technically and musically it’s getting there. I really like the section that starts around 11:00 and I like the lack of pedal; some pianists make it too vague sounding. This piece is a big personal goal of mine and I’m not even close right now, but you’re doing pretty well.
