There are so many epic ones

@@gguebo.6720 Hi,I’m learning Spanish,do you mean:These videos are very good,I’m your fan?

[@umanathshetty7232]

Prokofiev seems a little uncanny

[@SirloucoPiano]

It's really good selection. But I missed Liszt's Spanish Fantasy. It's the most epic solo piano piece I've heard (in my opinion). But I became happy to see Rach 3, that ending is amazing

[@acactus2190]

Next time! :)

[@BaileyPhillipsComposer]

I love the inclusion of Alkan! Such an epic piece!! 😁😵🤯

[@acactus2190]

Thanks! I like him too!

[@toaster_2815]

Alkan's stuff sounds amazing, too bad he makes everything borderline impossible

[@prepcoin_nl4362]

A piece from Scriabin (probably the coda of the 5th sonata) is the most glaring omission from this list. I'd also think for Ravel, Scarbo would make more sense than La Valse. I can think of more ferocious climaxes in later 20th century literature, but I understand if that was a bit out of the scope.

[@SophiaMusik]

Nice list As a composer of classical music, I can appreciate what you're doing Cheers 🙏

[@imaregisteredgoogleuser1903]

Liszt sonata in b deserves a spot here.

[@SamarthSachinJadhav]

Yes. But it's actually in B Minor.

[@wubalubadubdub2674]

I was about to say "why no Rachmaninoff? :(" but the end made it for me:) There is also the coda & cadenza from Rachs 1st concerto which is super epic or the last 5 min of Alkan's Grande sonata "les quatre Âges": II. 30 Ans. Quasi-Faust. Assez vite et sataniquement (idk if there is a Hamelin version but the one by Alan Weiss is really good) I hope my suggestions may help you for future videos, I enjoy the content :)

[@acactus2190]

thanks for the suggestions!

[@brent3522]

Maltempo is the way to go for Alkan's Les Quatre Ages

[@not_meepington]

Rach 2 also has a great ending, I’d argue it might deserve mention, if not for epicness, then beauty.

[@christianvennemann9008]

Awesome list! If you do another one of Mr. Incredible becoming canny, you should definitely include Lyapunov's Lezghinka. Such an epic, underrated, and criminally underperformed piece!

[@Trooman20]

or you can say that it was an awesome Liszt- I will stop

[@sloppysorabji]

the ending of scriabin 4, and the ending of mednter’s second piano concerto go especially hard as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooLEk3aara9peq8

[@rafjeevarafjeeva5952]

Rachmaninoff concerto 3 is the definition of epic

[@user-never-existed]

Good. Ravel is included. La Valse is as crazy to play as it sounds. So satisfying.

[@felicias6898]

Nice List! I would also recommend everyone to listen to the piano concerto in E major by Moritz Moszkowski, especially the second movement at the end is incredibly epic

[@snorefest1621]

I knew that eventually a Rachmaninoff concerto will top the chart

[@RachManJohn]

I should very much like to give an honourable mention to the coda of Szymanowski's 2nd sonata. Outrageously glorious work. Good list!

[@Janeahmon]

Agreed. Hamelin’s rendition is simply stunning.

[@Janeahmon]

Great selection! IMO the most epic piano piece (aside from rach 3) is Liszt Remiscences de Lugrezia Borgia. The climax is amazing you should listen to it if you havent already

[@acactus2190]

I'll check it out!😊

[@snorefest1621]

The most-viewed one on KZbin is by Wolfram. I felt like he recorded we very single pieces by Liszt just like Hamlin

[@isthatajojoreference149]

Norma is the best thing Liszt wrote. Lugrezia Borgia is just too loud and too many notes for no reason.

[@chrisy367]

Gets me everytime! Having listened to almost all Liszt's solo piano works, that piece is still among my favorites

[@chrisy367]

@@isthatajojoreference149 how so? It's wonderful, who's performance are you listening to?

@@acactus2190 oh ok

[@jammem]

Great video, music, you inspire me friend

[@joshuahart153]

Love the video, a bit confused by why you picked that Prok 3 excerpt though - seems like there are lots of more "epic" spots to choose from, like the 16th runs right before the recap of the first movement or the finale of the third movement. You could even extend the excerpt you chose to include the finale of the first movement.

[@i_am_a_music_maker5212]

Griffes, fountains of acqua paola, the 7/4 section will blow your mind

[@ArgentAlapin]

As for Islamey, I do believe that Pogorelich's interpretation really brings out its beastly potential.

[@jashepoon]

Nice list! I've a video titled "10 Epic Finales from great Piano Concertos" in which you might find something new :)

[@Sriram57575]

Could have included Liszt’s Spanish Rhapsody and Chopin's Etude op.10 no.12. Anyways a nice job !

[@notmusictheory74]

I'd add Agosti Firebird transcription

[@easypianotutorial9361]

Alkan etude is truly epic

[@jadendavidson3860]

For Alkan I'd say Quasi Faust and op 39 no 8 are candidates for his most epic piece.
