actually this piece has most difficulty than all of liszt, alkan or whatever virtuosity pieces.. even mereaux. i agree ladivana's saying. simply awkward jumps, double notes that needs flexible finger independent etcs But. I think the reason why this song is unknown is probably because of the same reason as Etudes in mereaux. Isn't the excellence of the work's content, including the thrill of hearing it, something that the public unconsciously demands, just as hamelin disparaged Mereaux? Both mereaux and Weiss can't say that the musical-structure of the piece itself is just "bad".. But I think the reason why alkan is so well known among the lesser known composers is not just the use of that virtuosity, but the use of it to stimulate the listener's ears. It's like Liszt came up with a lot of passages and modern harmonies for the richness of the song. The difficulty of alkan and liszt is actually not physiologically difficult compared to contemporary composers/mereaux/weiss pieces. However, it causes an optical illusion that seems more difficult than that. That's my personality conclusion... Even if their opinions do not agree with mine, I always respect and respect them for their search for the "truth" of music with their beliefs and philosophies. luv u divana!

Legato sixths and tenths tossed off as if they were nothing! Some technique! I guess Josef Weiss was trying to write the ultimately difficult operatic paraphrase; maybe he did it. To my mind the test of such a genre is whether the piece brings something to the melodies that weren't there in its source material. That's after all the aim of all Liszt's paraphrases. It's a retrospective rethinking of found material, musique retrouvee. I think this one does it too. There's a steely quality to this music that isn't in Bizet's score.

I'm big fan of Carmen but unfortunately I found this to be horribly bombastic and Josef Weiss seemed to have a higher regard for virtuosity than a good sound in this piece. It's sort of if Liszt had no maturity or care for musicality. I will give credit, though, to 9:19, which blends the orchestral and choral parts of "Les voici! voici la quadrille!" very effectively. Music of this sort will always have its fans, no doubt due to the ridiculous technical skills required to pull off a performance. Unfortunately this isn't for me though. Busoni's Carmen Fantasy is miles ahead imo!
@drewfarmer05 Жыл бұрын
I do agree. Though, this is still fairly listenable and easy to understand due to the lack of deep musical thought unlike Liszt's stuff.
@chemprofmatt Жыл бұрын
I agree. It is incredibly impressive as a showpiece. Just looking at the score was enough to raise my pulse 20 bpm. But, if any piece of music can be said to have "too many notes," surely this is it. An instant hardly goes by without something flashy. It's all just too overwhelming, though. Listening to it is exhausting; I can only imagine how exhausting it is for the performer! I need to go listen to some Mozart to set my brain right again.

Detractors say that Liszt is often just hollow fireworks with no substance. But I know all of his operatic paraphrases and none of them contain pointless virtuosity just for the sake of it. He always uses passage work to creat a quasi orchestral texture on the piano, and amplify the musical ideas. Often in the form of variations, where it is expected that you do something like this. Weiss on the other hand does exactly what people accuse Liszt of doing. Lots of pointless flourishes that are there just to show off his skills. The worst thing is that he does it right away. Instead of presenting the material more or less unembelished at first he always dives right in with the most pointless passagework. It's just stupid and unmusical. Really not a fan of this approach.

The Spanish fantasy is also several minutes faster than what other technically skilled pianists are capable of. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
