aw thanks!!! they were hard 😅

[@emiliaoniszczuk7474]

As a non-pianist I think I've never appreciated how difficult this piece really is, until you explained what crazy things you actually physically do with your fingers😂 hats off to you

[@lirich0]

As an early advanced pianist I always underestimated this piece thinking I could play it in several years. Now I'm never attempting this lmfao

[@obbyperson7281]

@@lirich0 keep striving man, there are multiple 10 year olds on youtube that can play this such as Jonah Ho (10) and a few more such as Jichan Cho (11). once you get used to it, don't stop and you WILL be able to. I can play currently the first 50 seconds of the song after 2 months with breaks in between (My hardest is ronda alla turca)

[@richardwastaken]

@@obbyperson7281bro if ur still learning with turkish march no offense dont bother learning this piece bc the difference is too large this is a diploma level piece while only grade 7 abrsm

[@obbyperson7281]

@@richardwastaken anyone can play anything if they put their mind to it. If I want to learn it, I will. I'm really good at hanon and have been starting it backwards for a while so I think I can manage the jumps in the piece

This is truly one of the liszt of all time. I loved the part when he said "lets liszt" and liszted all over the place.

actually shut up escape

no wayyyy that was also my favourite part

Sup

[@TheaVee]

Ello

[@Miguel_I_guess]

I can not lie this was worth waiting for. And the great part is you play it like the greatest virtuoso pianists would, showing little to no signs of struggle, which means you're pretty dang good.

[@_supasped_]

@@WillsKeyboardSink of course!

[@kalleknackwurst4543]

Yeah, interesting choice to play without padel almost the hole time. Wouldn't be my way of playing it but definitely legitimate. The tempo was nice. Not this Lang Lang hustle.

[@ryanharris2462]

Sometimes the YT “like” button is woefully inadequate… this is awesome. You must’ve practised and worked like crazy to get to this level. Inspiring!

[@mamamuffin7170]

[@aroundtheglobe5532]

I love the commentary while you play. It gives so much insight from your point of view and let‘s me understand a bit better what is going on. Thank you

[@tianyuema4797]

Behold the triumphant return of the virtuoso, the monarch of the keys! Once more, the musical realm is graced with the breathtaking performance of Liszt's 'La Campanella.' With each note, a majestic symphony unfurls, resonating with unparalleled artistry and skill. Such playing is nothing short of extraordinary, a testament to the mastery of the maestro!

[@lucashamilton4674]

Yeah, and he's good too.

[@wynniekitty]

Well done! My very favorite piece since I was a kid. I was learning it for my senior recital when I decided to quit piano to have time for other things I wanted to do that busy year. So now instead of playing it myself, I listen to talented kids like you doing beautiful work 😊

[@Tuco-js]

Ayy, been looking forward to this for ages, so nice to see you actually perform it, specially with how perfectly clear and distinguished every note from 2:33 till the next section is, and read your thoughts throughout. Tipping my fictional hat at you for playing the last section at tempo. Love your work. ,.,., 1,077-2h

[@raccooncityincident9628]

Yoo this is incredible! Mad talented, dude!

[@msgingerjourney]

Ugh. How many pianists ever approach this level of mastery? Great job. Years of hours upon hours of practice. Into my 5th month of starting over as an adult. At this point my patience far outweighs my skill and mental acuity. I'm taking what I can get and am happy for it. I do love it.

[@filoue2583]

It's weird to re-watch being able to play this. Every comment is so accurate, especially the ones talking about your hands getting tired lmao

[@Muffinman008]

How long did it take to learn

[@filoue2583]

@luhpercmoneyman7581 around 7-8 months, but during that i had to learn other pieces and i didn't really practice as much as would normally, but i got a new piano a week ago and i re-learn and perfection it pretty fast. So 7 months would be the time with daily practice.

[@riannuhhh]

AH so happy to see a new video! you are my absolute favorite pianist because of the way you break down pieces by including captions. and of course, your technical skills amaze me more & more every time :)

[@danielbrower3895]

I love listening to this mans songs just in the background because he has something that digital pianists dont have, they may have their notes shows or whatever and edited sound, but I love the tone he has, and the sound of a real piano so much that he tramples anything anyone else can have.

[@NebulonRanger]

The bigger note roll pianists all use real pianos too (Traum has several videos of him playing in a room like this), but they also use high-end multi-mic setups and a good bit of processing.

[@Luudacris1]
