Liszt is the reason why i've gotten into classical music.

[@gabrielgan369]

Same here, I got into it after lisztening to HR2 in Tom and Jerry as a kid

[@Martinkg05]

Gabriel Gan hmm

[@jhNic]

His pieces is in my playLiszt

[@franzliszt4545]

That’s nice of you all, thanks!

[@hockerdude]

I learned Liebestraum no.3 for my grade 10 and loved it. I'm also learning Un Sospiro right now for my ARCT. One of the big things that I learned about Liszt over the past few years is he is the master of variations throughout his pieces. He can take a simple (or intricate) melody, play that same melody in a piece 3 or 4 times, with each time sounding more beautiful than the last. So incredible!

[@Disturbed4Life3]

Mephisto Waltz No.1 is the reason I wanted to listen to more and more Liszt, that piece is so joyous and dramatic.

[@levim.3505]

My favorite definitely is "Reminiscences de Norma" S. 394

[@Martinkg05]

Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli OMG yes it’s awesome, the happiness, the anger, and the sadness really hits me.

[@adeline-music]

Dude, these Liszt videos you've been posting lately are great. Do more!

[@TheHive616]

Your channel is fantastic! I could listen to you all day. I love how you can take a more casual, relatable approach to this sort of thing instead of trying to maintain an air of academic polish... Classical music can be enjoyed by anyone. And to cut through some of the frills and communicate on a direct, casual level is (I believe) one of the best ways to help someone who did not grow up in a conservatory environment enjoy and understand common-practice music as a whole. I have great admiration and respect for your skills as a pianist, and your enthusiasm for the music. Very glad your channel is around!

[@dcunited710]

Great Video 😃 My favourites are -The Bells of Rome -Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6️⃣ -Mazeppa -Chasse Neige -Arpeggio Grande Etude de Paganini -Third Libestraum 😊

[@laiyinquan8355]

Same here!

[@janele2832]

[@helvete_ingres4717]

the B minor sonata is psychedelic. that's the only word for it. And evolves perfectly from Beethoven's late great sonatas.

[@iaingunn2001]

Liebestraum no. 3 and Hungarian Rhapsody no. 6 my absolute favs

[@marcomedina4434]

Dante Sonata, wooo! 90% through that beast at the moment. Nice channel, I like what you've done with the place 😁

[@jasonlam8588]

Liszt-Bellini Reminiscences de Norma is my recent favourite, crazy writing but beautiful and passionate

[@AndreiAnghelLiszt]

If you think that's crazy, you should listen to his Reminiscenses de Lucrezia Borgia :D

[@LuxuFoo]

I absolutely LOVEEEEE the fountains of the Villa d-Este. Its such a light ethereal piece. Fills me with so much joy. Liszt is one of my favorites. I'm waiting on my first piano to arrive and I hope one day in the far off future I can play some of his pieces. Along with many other amazing composers. ❤❤

[@CadenzaPiano]

I don't know much of Liszt, outside his very famous work, but I did heard one piece from my teacher in concert and I was very impress. I've listen to it many times from youtube afterward, and it is from the Années de Pèlerinage, première année : Suisse, Vallée d'Oberman. I really like that piece very much!

[@tasjourney7778]

I heard la Campanella and i thought it was the most beautiful song ive ever heard on piano. Never heard of him before this.

[@Ben-tr2en]

my favorites would probably be his grande galop chromatique, his 12th Hungarian rhapsody, and the original la campanella (s. 140)

[@drkInxgud]

his beethoven symphony transcriptions are superb im currently working on the 5th symphony =)

[@JazzExtension]

My favorite would be La leggierezza , from the Three Concert Etudes.

[@dreadnautilus253]

My favourite Franz Liszt song is also my favourite classical song too. It's Transcendental Etude No. 8 "Wilde Jagd" Because well Well it's just really beautiful

[@Meddenwebsite]

[@mannydain]

thank you for these videos!

[@JosephSpadafino]

That Orpheus Symphonic Poem really sounds like it could have been composed 100 years after the fact, like for a film score. Nothing dated or old sounding about it. Amazing.

[@lucasantoniotujan7783]

I really love Hungarian Raphsody No 2 and Grandes Etude No 3 La Campanella

[@Idfk365]

Etuhan basic choices

[@Idfk365]

Good ones but basic

[@arieltabbach4946]

I also like grandes etude no 6

[@memedreams8558]

My favorite Liszt pieces are -The Concert Etude no. 3 "Un Sospiro" -Liebestraum no. 3 -Hungarian Rhapsody no. 6 in Db

[@roryreviewer6598]

My favorite Liszt piece has to be the Piano Sonata, such a masterpiece. Second favorite would probably be the years of pilgrimage piece. Also like the Mesphisto waltzes, Le Gondala Lugabre (or however you spell that). I still have yet to get into the Dante or Faust symphonies. I listened to them a few times but didn't get too much out of them. But I probably will someday. Oh I also really like Totentanze.

[@caterscarrots3407]

I love his transcription of Beethoven's 5th symphony just as much as the original symphony. In fact, I am advanced enough that I can play it as long as I go slow and make sure I get tons of practice in each hand. If I start practicing it this year, I will probably be able to play though the entire symphony transcription a year from then. Thank goodness it has 0 presto movements because presto is much much harder for me to do than allegro. Even after months of practicing Solfeggio in C minor, going up to presto still trips me up so I typically don't go any further than allegro.

[@owendavidmalicsi5900]

My Favoritos regardless of transcribef or not: Liebestraum No. 3 Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6 La Campanella(Paganini) Etude 6 (Paganini) Standchen(Schubert) Ave Maria(Schubet) Un Sospiro Consolation No. 3 El Contrabandista

[@tomotomo2596]

Harmonies du soir Reminiscences de Don Juan Reminiscences de Norma Chasse Neige Hungarian Rhapsody 6 Paganini etude 1 ( tremolo ) En Reve Wilde Jagd

[@DottoreSM]

My favorite are: Sonata in B minor Les préludes tasso, lamento e trionfo dante sonata Annes de pelerinage

[@Alix777.]

My favorites are : "Benediction de Dieu dans la solitude" (from "Harmonies poétiques et religieuses") , "Sposalizio" (very moving piece, Sofronistky is the best for me there) and the "Via Crucis" (for mixed choir and organ)

[@Kris9kris]

Out of all the eligible opera paraphrases you choose Rigoletto? It's the most famous but not the best by a long shot. It only elaborates one aria in particular: Bella figlia dell'amore, and that's it. The Faust Symphony is easily his most significant work, Liszt regarded the Christus oratorio as his best achievement. Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne after Victor Hugo is the most underrated symphonic poem of his.

[@underzog]

FRanz Listz Sonata and Les Preludes was used in the Flash Gordon serials to great effect.

[@wyatt6097]

Sonata in B Minor is one of my favorites

[@Defaulted500]

How about Rondo Fantastique "El Contrabandista"?

[@khadijahasimon6172]

Could you do a Brief History of Brahms? Im currently learning one of his pieces called Intermezzo Op.117 no.2

my favorites: - Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 - La Campanella - Liebesträme No. 3 - Mephisto Waltz No. 1

[@angelob.1089]

I love La Leggierezza, Un Sospiro, Feux Follets, Chasse Neige, Consolation 3, and Paganini Etude no. 6 :)

[@IMNBDF]

Can you kindly do a video on how to strengthen one's hands and cultivate evenness, speed, and dynamics in order to polish one's trills instead of them just being a sloppy mess of rapidly played notes?

[@SunriseFireberry]

L. Howard recorded the complete piano works of Liszt. Lots of music. What would you say are the lesser known gems?

[@sarahhayes1405]

this is unrelated but I was wondering if you could do a video on nonharmonic tones? I just watched your video on appogiaturas​ and you gave such a great explanation.
