Mendelssohn is my favorite composer, his music just sounds like fairytales to me.

Hebrides Ouverture (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iek4OcrT6m0)
3rd Symphony (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nP0gqKmWuY)

Richter is gone, but you should go see Yuja Wang if you want to see some piano fireworks.

God damn, slow down. This stuff is an entirely different experience live.

Been working on this classical guitar piece lately. It's an asskicker:

Mendelssohn is a dream. I presume you know his Violin Concerto in E minor, which has been one of my favourites for years. But some of his early stuff is amazing: the double piano concerto in a-flat major (composed at 15), and the double concerto for violin & piano (i think at 14):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv-__V3Y3c8

Just unreal; his Octet, which he composed at 16 is also something special. He was probably the most outrageously gifted musical prodigy ever.

Yuja Wang is real talented for sure - was impressed by her Prokofiev in particular. She no Richter doe :(, but who is? No one comes close to his Schumann and Schubert interpretations imo.

sounds superhumanly bad
Stop quoting me jackass, and you haven't got the slightest clue what you're talking about anyway: playing that etude at that speed (around 250bpm), and with such control and accuracy, is pretty much unheard of.

[J Shuttlesworth]

What if you're John Coltrane, and can improvise through incredibly hard chord changes at 290 bpm :lol Obviously different than playing an etude, but still some insane control

You are right, it is unheard of, because no one wants to listen to it.

Oh right, they (i.e. you) just want to comment on it again and again because you've got nothing better to with your time than to troll people in a thread about something you have no interest in.

That's pretty sad dude, even for the dregs of ISHs like yourself.

Don't get butthurt at me because you have a shitty taste in "music".

[Timmy D for MVP]

Since the thread opened with the greatest song ever written I'll add this interpretation of Bach's Fugue in G Minor that I've always liked:

Sorry, but it's you who are clearly butthurt, otherwise you wouldn't be constantly following me around and bombarding me with idiotic comments. Now, if you'd kindly stop spamming this thread with your inanities, that'd be swell.

Either way, i'll be ignoring you from now on, so cheerio.

[Lebowsky]

Some of my personal favourites:

Rimsky-Korsakov - Scheherezade (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQNymNaTr-Y)
Maurice Ravel - Bolero (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK23BhEQVyU)
The late Jascha Heifetz doing some magic with Bach. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q-Zqz7mNjQ)
Gustav Holst - The Planets (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Isic2Z2e2xs)

[falc39]

When it comes to the piano, anything by Chopin, but more specifically his Ballades and Noctournes.

Mozart is the most well rounded and is the paragon. Even his more lesser known stuff like his string quintets are masterpieces.

[Overdrive]

1812 Overture (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbxgYlcNxE8)
Piano Concerto No.1 in B-Flat Minor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W1_shm7vdE)

Les Contes D'Hoffman - Barcarolle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u0M4CMq7uI)
O Mio Babbino Caro (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6bSrGbak1g)
K545 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoT8YV9qi1g)

Not a big fan of Tchaikovsky, except for his piano trio in a minor:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FejIOo3JGbU

This Adagio and Fugue by Mozart is a pretty cool and relatively unknown piece of his:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMOmOQFafWw

Doesn't sound much like Mozart either.

Schubert has my favourite 4 hand piano music:
