AI Plays Liszt Études d'exécution transcendante d'après Paganini, S.140 (1838)

Learn to play the piano here: learnthepiano.app.link/RluedK...
Video created with Concert Creator: concertcreator.ai
So I made it play the 3rd, 4th and 6th étude of S. 140.
No. 3 (0:05) - It did.. fine I suppose, still thinks fingers can do ridiculous tremolo. Struggled a bit with the thicker arpeggios.
No. 4 (4:17) - This made me laugh for a solid 5 minutes. I have never seen something quite like it, the biggest flex mankind has ever seen.
No. 6 (7:14) - Also struggled with the arpeggios, but it did okay.
These are not meant to be accurate fingering, but a test to see if the AI can figure the fingering out.

Hope you enjoy it.

[@norixsynth]

I couldn't believe how the AI is accurate about the 4th étude. Liszt actually played that part using only his left hand.

[@HubertMCovers]

I adhered to the original left right layout, given that the MIDI was separated out as such. However it is very impressive that it managed it well and didn't automatically split hands.

[@fayezsalka]

@@HubertMCovers the AI will only split hands if the midi was one track. Otherwise it will use the provided hand separation as is

[@HubertMCovers]

Yeah true, though it would be a cool feature to let it override an allocation and see what it comes up with. Actually on that topic, is the prospect of duo possible/in the making (to play duets/double piano concertos)?

[@fayezsalka]

@@HubertMCovers yeah we do have plans for duos at some point. Regarding hand separation, you can combine the midi file into one track in a midi editor then import it to the AI again

[@SinanAkkoyun]

6:03 ok, Mr. A.I. is now just flexing on us with his non-existing inertia

[@worthlessemail3626]

6:03 is easier than it seems people. Out of everything in the entire piece that's one of the easiest parts. I suggest downloading synthesia + the midi for this piece and slowing it down to 10% speed. You'll find it's actually just 3 varying octave positions. While the true speed is "difficult," it's actually easy physically after mastering each unique position at a snails pace. I've yet to see anybody ever play the entire thing at the proper tempo but personally i've dabbled with no.4 over the years. Don't just take my word for it, try those measures for yourself and you will see how much easier it is with practice. It's hardly a flex, simply a genius use of technique he stole from Alkan. Similar technique is present within beethoven/liszt and rossini/liszt arrangements. But all of liszt's ideas stemmed from Alkan's technique. Personally I can manage the measures after 6:03 fine but playing this entire piece is another story altogether. It's frustratingly difficult on the right hand and consumes great deals of time to properly practice just a few seconds. I hope this gives encouragement to some talented pianists to give an honest attempt at creating a proper recording of no.4 rather than scare them away. The AI is also very blurry and not properly portraying human physical interaction with the piano. That said, I believe there are too many people talking about what they can't do and not enough trying to tear those walls down in modern times. It makes the majority arrive at misconceptions due to their own delusions on how they think something is.

[@decivillain9216]

Agreed, just don’t play it at shown in video tempo and you’ll learn it, eventually, also, any piece is playable, you just have the will to learn it all the way through. The last two sentences perfectly explain why everything is the way it is nowdays.

@@HubertMCovers currently the AI doesn’t handle repeated notes correctly although it should (we are planning to have a fix for this in future updates). There is also a finger editor that helps with tweaking the AI animation to have it handle repeated notes correctly

[@mazeppa1231]

Also, arpeggiated chords. I've never seen a pianist in my life - bar Rachmaninov - able to play E,D,B chords like the part at 0:30, lol. Also, the fact that some of the arpeggiated chords aren't played properly like 4:01, 5:47, or 7:11.
