you'll probably like this:

Don't know if this has already been posted but thought I'd share this find. Does someone know the difficulty of this piece? sure sounds next to impossible to play this with the required power and clarity. Would this rank as one of the harder/hardest Liszt pieces?

To my knowledge it is one of Liszt's hardest pieces.

I have his transcriptions of 6-9. Even as Liszt's music goes, 9 is heck on wheels and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Brendan is playing the transcription of the 5th Symphony at the Noontime Concert at Old St. Mary's in San Francisco on Tuesday. I was planning on going, but a friend died and the services conflict.

Sorry to hear that. I think Brendan posted the first movement of the 5th some time ago in the recordings section and I really liked it.

Please let us know when you will be playing in the area again.

Maybe we need an Upcoming Members' Performances area.

Katsaris didn't find Liszt's transcription hard enough and added some more stuff(according to one knowledgeable PW member):

Liszt included the vocal parts above the piano ones in the finale, probably thinking that no human can simulate the combination of SATB chorus and full orchestra with 10 fingers on one piano. He hadn't reckoned with Katsaris's ten fingers.....
