Khachaturian ~ Toccata

[@TheFlamingPiano]

Nice crystal textures and very impressive playing! Aggressive, powerful and worth checking out!

[@Eusebiuspiano]

Thank you, Flaming. I still am beyond star struck to have your feedback. Do you have any advice/suggestions for someone new to KZbin/ piano videos?

The versatile and well-loved Toccata by Khachaturian- a perfect, showy competition piece for budding young piano prodigies/ speed demons. It sounds impressive, but most of it is sight-readable for a seasoned pianist, save for the slow B section, which has quite difficult polyrhythms. Khachaturian wrote this piece in 6 hours! It later became one of his most popular piano pieces. I hope you enjoy.

[@AmandasChannel-C.PSLifeCoach]

*Exactly! It's very easily performed by the pianist, but to people's ears, it sounds like one of the most difficult piano pieces in the world! I have performed it many times in my concerts - when I was an active soloist.*

[@federicocrapelli3549]

I've been waiting for someone to play this piece for 2 years, I think I found my favorite channel. Greetings!

[@Eusebiuspiano]

Aww! That’s awesome! Yeah, I was surprised it has never been done in synthesia.

[@arbel0542]

The best execution I heard for this piece was actually my older brother playing it for his final concert at high school, you came very close to it. Hats off 👏

[@masterkeyz959]

Visuals and playing top notch! very nice!

[@Eusebiuspiano]

AWw thanks so much! Your opinion means a lot to me, having been one of my first subscribers and such a talented reactive visualizer yourself.

Bravo! The articulation is crystal clear, unbelievable!

Du bist unglaublich! Danke dir dafür.

Exactly! I think so too!

[@MrTardoss]

Well done ! This piece doesn't look easy to play, congrats ! :-) I'm glad to see different kind of music on your channel, it makes it even better, keep it going ! My friends also like what you're doing, compliments from them

[@Eusebiuspiano]

Thanks, mr. tardoss, and thanks so much for sharing with your friends! Are they also pianists?

[@MrTardoss]

​@@Eusebiuspiano You welcome :-) Yes, some of them are pianists and FF7 fans Hehe, you gave them smile :)

For the front part it is super aesy but in andante espresivo, the game just started 😖🤌

An incredible master piece. Next year I play this piece in the music school of Seville. Im very excited

Amazing performance! I've never heard this piece before, thank you for sharing it!

[@Eusebiuspiano]

Thank you!

[@MiloPaulus]

One of my favorite Toccata's. Great performance man! It's a challenging one for sure.

[@Eusebiuspiano]

Aww, thanks. Have you played this one before? It was something that I always heard other piano kids playing growing up but never got a chance to learn. I checked out your channel, by the way, really great job.

[@MiloPaulus]

@@Eusebiuspiano Oh no. I am not nearly good enough, haha. The most difficult classical pieces I learned on the piano are probably a few of the famous Chopin Nocturnes, Schubert's Serenade, Debussy's Arabesques and Clair De Lune. Glad you like what I do!

[@Eusebiuspiano]

@@MiloPaulus Ahh, yes, the very iconic piano pieces. Those are great ones!

This piece is awesomely beautiful! I have been playing for 3 years and this is a piece that I'm working on. Thanks for sharing!!

[@Eusebiuspiano]

Wow, after three years of lessons, it is pretty impressive to be playing this. You must have a great teacher in addition to being quite motivated/ talented.

[@alejandrom.4680]

@@Eusebiuspiano Thank you so much! Today is the third day I'm working on it and learnt most of it, I'm almost there, I just have to correctly learn the runs and that's it, it wasn't as hard as I initally thought it would be. Actually, my teacher isn't the greatest hahaha..., but in the other hand, my grandpa is a concert pianist. He's the one who teaches me interpretation and well, I work mostly by myself the pieces. Your interpretation is truly wonderful, although I prefer the B section a bit slower but that's just a preference hahaha ;).

[@Eusebiuspiano]

@@alejandrom.4680 Yes, it's not too bad of a piece, getting the first page up to tempo with the rhythm is challenging, and the polyrhythms of the B section are confusing, but overall, the patterns are repetitive and easy to memorize/ sight-read (maybe slowly). Yes, looking back on the recording now, I would have liked to do the B section slower with more rubato, too. Piano pieces are always a work in progress! My friend inspired me to play this and I learned it in a couple months, but looking back, I feel I could've added more depth if I learned it for longer. Ahh... us pianists are perfections. lol. Good luck learning it!

[@masterpiano1019]

So beautifully played! Well done! I love the effects!

[@Eusebiuspiano]

thank you so much!

[@pianospiel1770]

Amazing and energetic performance Eusebius! This looks really fun to play.

[@Eusebiuspiano]

Thank you very much. I always was curious to play it because growing up, I heard so many pianists play it. It came together surprisingly quickly and it is pretty fun.

That was awesome! You just earned a new subscriber! Also what app do you use to do the synthesia type thing? Did you attach LEDs to your piano for the light effect?

[@Eusebiuspiano]

Hi! Thanks! I used VFX for the synthesia, the light effects are LED lights attached to my piano and are operated through a raspberry pi.
