10 levels of d i s s o n a n c e

[@Jartious]

Too many mistakes. I am ashamed that I let so many mistakes slip, such as the spelling of Lisitsa, concerto, and the title of the last clip. I will admit, I did rush this video a bit and was getting impatient as the softwares I was using were acting up. Anyway, here are the sources: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6enqZ-kf7upjZosi=ME7a-ki0wXZNKOmI kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKbGc5mOpah0bNUsi=VGrxIzIdhC-ET3hW kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqPFeZeCiMeMrcUsi=h-p82X3UaI2PEd7p kzbin.info/www/bejne/e16rp5Rumbd_q7ssi=ILT9_-IZmnE8p0pL kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnmzanSwartrjNksi=gNUoJE1sLM8P5Eok kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZbLfZZtnZ6miLMsi=B_AnYLTMYYSvUyIS kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2a3f41ngt2nlc0si=WRTjuG-YSHMxcxxs kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHeseKJ4bNd-bZIsi=C44LMnuuWSQzFvUM kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmOmnXxtacmDlbs kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y32sqGuvoLigfbcsi=CNKAysQkTJL62hO4 Also, I can't believe I accidentally put an "I'', in concerto, silly me.

[@aondutta325]

dude u literally spelt her name as lititsa like wtf

[@ThatOneGuyRAR]

Concierto is just a non-english spelling, it’s an acceptable mistake to make

[@IValueSimplicity]

And yet it was still a very successful video either way

[@TimothyReeves]

It's the Spanish spelling

[@orchinthedungeon]

A bit strange this list is. Rautavaara is in fact quite euphonious (certainly more so, than Feinberg e.g.), especially in this particular piece. Also the Mozart example is what most non-classical trained people would associate with "classical boredom" (though I personally *do* like this piece, despite its infamous popularity)

[@frederikhutfless]

Last one is not by Concert Creator A.I but played by Kentaro Noda. He deserves credit for even attempting this piece in front of people.

[@Jartious]

I've made so many mistakes in this video... I'm contemplating taking it down, but it's already got 1000 views and plus, I don't have the original file anymore

[@Hudson_Holland]

The performer for number 10 is such a legend 😅 To be willing to play that and scream at the score paper in front of a classical audience deserves some respect and I thought he really did the piece justice. Really cool video!

[@mememed2363]

The page turner was scared 😭😭

[@jameshall9353]

I honestly liked all of it until 9. Well, 10 is probably the greatest thing that has ever blessed humanity’s ears.

[@z3my4l]

4:15 Sounds like he’s shouting in Finnish ”saatana saatana saatana”, which is quite common curse, translates into ”god damn” repeatedly.

[@alecrechtiene558]

That Rautavaara concerto is an absolute banger! For such a dissonant work I found it to be quite accessible!

[@Jartious]

Me too honestly

[@yeetthebeet]

yeah and honestly most of it is not that dissonant very tonal work overal

[@_b_moll]

The jump in dissonance from mazeppa to Scriabin 8 is insane lmao

[@maxwalsh9950]

Omg yeah glad someone pointed it out 😭

[@Fire_Axus]

stop getting so emotional

[@DressedForDrowning]

3:52 - Since we have this now, we can burn all of Beethoven's, Mozart's and Schubert's piano sonatas. Let's listen and sing along with this wonderful tune.

[@KomutanLogar-x]

[@gitikagitika715]

Finnissy is truly the God of "using a cat to compose" Imo

[@pianopracticediary]

I was really laughing out loud when I saw that synthesia video of the Finnissy piece😂 Thats usually something you’d associate with an Einaudi piano piece…

[@Ivan_1791]

Scriabin's 8th is so fucking great.

[@christopherstoney4154]

So is William Schuman's 8th.

[@Bampaloudu64]

First time I read Ravel's Valses Nobles et Sentimentales I checked at least 10 times the opening chords just to make sure I was reading well. These chords just make sense when you play the valse in one go, but individually they are absolutely uncanny.

[@zanoryxx4353]

a somewhat dissonant piece i actually enjoy listening to is rzewskis the poeple united will never be defeated

[@Jartious]

I'll check it out!

[@TheSlowPianist]

@@Jartious The cotton mill blues is an especially strong movement.

[@thepostapocalyptictrio4762]

Rzewski is brilliant

[@reubencash9226]

that piece is one of my favourites at the moment, I recommend Hamelin's recording :)

[@renaissanceman9034]

Level 9 sounds like aliens contacting us.

[@eliehalimi]

The most dissonant piece i've ever listened to was Le regard des anges by O. Messian. It's lvl 11 in your list 😅

[@jakeacake6899]

'The Devil's Staircase' by Ligeti is one of my favourites for dissonant piano. Amazing video

[@marcusfranklin8586]

That last pianist was on some crack.😂

[@RachManJohn]

Seen and approved, although the rabbit hole goes deeper still.

[@Jartious]

Yeah I know, this is very general. Could you give me some links to the deeper areas? I'm curious.

[@mrfluffygaming4525]

The more the level goes high, it starts to sound more avant-garde. mostly some pieces that are so dissonant entered the 20th century including ravel and debussy. What a big step

[@administratorprophet]

idk why but the ending of level 10 completely cracks me up

[@Jartious]

It's so unexpected

[@WolfgangAmadeusMozart-]

Mozart approves!

[@ThePianist58d]

U gonna finish ur last symphony or what

[@thepostapocalyptictrio4762]

Go away Wolfgang, we don’t have any booze for you.

[@pianist_detentive]

And do you know your Figaro piece had been arranged by Liszt💀

[@gargoyleg4368]

As Charles Ives said "Stand up and take your dissonance like a man".

[@Jartious]

Exactly 😂

[@Jartious]

I honestly don't know why this video is doing so well. Quality wise, it's sub zero 😭

[@eccles99]

I really enjoyed this video just as a brief glimpse into the world of different composers, some of whom I wasn't too familiar with (Scriabin), some who I hadn't heard of at all (Gliere). I feel inspired to check some of them out now in more depth. Well, if I'm being honest, I really enjoyed this video up until #9. It's very telling that this is the only piece not performed by a human-- it's just a midi file plugged into an app.

[@oryx3]

That last one... she turns the page, then gets out of there FAST! (especially when he starts barking like a dog)

[@Snardbafulator]

I enjoyed the Finissey. While it's certainly at least freely atonal, it's not hugely dissonant (and thus not worthy of the #9 spot) because there are very few chords. The vast majority of it is two lines or sometimes just one line played by two hands.

[@segalanicolas5608]

I prefer level 10 to level 9 honestly

[@Jartious]

Yeah, honestly level ten was probably composed as a joke

[@sitearm]

I like how the assistant retreated briskly after turning each page - thank you for posting this... I think :-)

[@ukdavepianoman]

This is tame stuff....Xenakis (e.g. Synaphai) would be several levels about 10. Even Messaien's Turangalila Symphony has some really juicy dischords. Level 10 was more bizarre than anything else. Always happy to see/hear Scriabin PS8.

[@SaturnineXTS]

Gorguts - Forgotten Arrows is just the right level of dissonance for me

[@user-tk2jy8xr8b]

Feinberg's Sonata started being interesting at the beat drop

[@feinbird9161]

NODAAAAA HERE WE GO

[@ilikeplayingffftonecluster851]

Hi doctor

[@Baldr-rj2ew]

Mozart has composed a quartet subtitled the dissonances. at the end, it's noise. You could quote Boulez.. but modern music is not dissonant but with different scales

[@chadevans3299]

I am not sure I hear "dissonance". I think I hear Art!

[@catpoisonlover]

It is dissonance, and it is art. Dissonance is beautiful

[@yeetthebeet]

rautavaara's PC 1 is a geniune masterpiece

[@KrzysztofRatajskimusic]

10 levels of PIANO dissonance. there is so much more between semitones ;) I like listening to a safe 6-7 mostly, although my music is more 8

[@olenvasinud7205]

Cleanly, without errors I can only play the last piece.

[@greg-warsaw4708]

Take almost any of Keith Jarrett's solo piano improvised concertos, wait the first couple of minutes of deceptively nice music and here you are, generously served with dissonance. He calls that aural sculptures, not adding they feel like made of barbed wire, not white marble.

[@kirillerofeev8758]

Galina Ustvolskaya deserves to be here and take 8.5

[@whaijorhujishkomunyk]

That Rautavaara concerto is so damn epic bur where pkrokofiev dissonances?😭

[@Hastenforthedawm]

And beautiful. Everything he wrote was majestic yet very dissonant

its funny how the last one is complete and utter chaos and then it just ends on a short, happy, non-dissonant major chord

[@kapifromnevada4697]

That guy at the end can literally play black midi tracks

[@j.c.6812]

Atonal, tone cluster ...

[@Michaelplayz.l]

I’d never lose interest in level 10

[@mmtroidd2098]

The last pianist is a Japanese pianist named Kenichiro Noda. Unfortunately, he became more famous for blew up with internet than for his piano.

[@choiyatlam2552]

As a rule of thumb as a composer. Dissonance in upper register usually wouldn’t sound that bad. Also, if there are other elements like easily recognizable rhythm, dynamics, activity, etc. It also wouldn’t be that bad. In the world of contemporary music, if you can find predominantly traditional note head, it’s a sign that the piece isn’t that bad. This is as if someone say, they’ll love Maths if it stays with number, but they lost in when English alphabets start to appears.

[@chifu1826]

my question is, does the sheet music in the last one clarifies what pitch you should scream in? or does it just say SCREAM!!!!

[@davel4708]

I've often thought an orchestra tuning up could easily be mistaken for a 20th century avant- guard piece. It was a brave but ultimately not enduringly popular movement.

[@SamarthSachinJadhav]

Whoa, Level 10 even had a voice part!

[@samvanderbijl1201]

Composers like Messiaen, Boulez, Stockhausen, Ligeti and Xenakis are missing in my opinion.

[@Jartious]

I only had 10 spots 🤷‍♂️. Maybe I could do a 20 levels one day

[@LooksMatterTheMost]

The last one is literally me at 5 years old trying to be virtuoso

[@robertjohnsontaylor3187]

I remember some years ago a recording was made from a collection of snatches of unrelated recordings, for no apparent reason. As the dissonance increased on these piano pieces I was reminded of that recording. Are these dissonance piano music just produced just to say look I can produce horrible music, get pianists to play it, and the gullible to pay and waste their lives lives to listen to it 🧟

[@zaqareemalcolm]

imma be real level 8 sounds more consonant than level 5-7 prolly cause the only real dissonant part there are the right-hand/arm part clusters (and the outer voices of said cluster is still a fairly listenable melody too)

[@gregonline6506]

For the last piece it would be quite interesting to hear it played on piano with poor intonation. I would bet, most ppl would be able to hear the difference. 👽

[@BlueSteve]

The last one reminded me of Elton John-

[@AFGalopp]

Where are Webern and Boulez?

[@ThatOneGuyRAR]

You chose the most listenable of the late Scriabin sonatas and the most listenable of Sorabji pieces. Also Rautavaara PC 1 should be a lot lower because although the chords are cluster chords, the voicing and the melody still lies in the outer octave, with the in-between notes more just existing for color. I think a more accurate progression would be Rautavaara PC 1 Scriabin sonata 6 or 7 Maybe something Messiaen, but I can’t tell if this is above or below Sorabji Sorabji Opus Clavicembalisticum/Archimagicun cadenza Finnissy anything
