Leave a Review The Liszt Sonata
Not what I wanted.😕
I thought it was going to teach you how to play the song all you do is listen to the song for $10.00 when you could do it for free on YouTube.Cubed Piano
Fantastic
I love this app! Everything about it is great. I wish they would make more!bdcoryell
Fantastic!
This is the most wonderful app. There is nothing else quite like it. But could we please have another! The Diabelli variations of The Hammarklavier Sonata would be great!TimT-B
Liszt Sonata
An amazing, in depth look at the Liszt piano sonata in b minor, fantastically performed and analyzed by the phenomenal Stephen Hough.
I hope that there will be more of these to come! Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin... the list goes on.
I can’t say enough great things about Mr. Hough. This man is a genius.
Thank you so much for this!Show less1290172730487234023
Simply the best thing on the AppStore
I have spent more time in this app than any other on my iPad. An absolutely peerless piece of work celebrating two geniuses, one from centuries past and one from the present day. I just wish touchstone would make more like this.Stuvester
Fabulous performance beautifully presented
This is great fun. It's wonderful to watch the details of a virtuoso performance of a spectacular Liszt sonata by Stephen Hough. Still more interesting to have his articulate, revealing commentary on the piece and on technique. Beautifully done. The B Min Sonata is a brilliant choice: just the right length for the presentation but also a deeply affecting and varied piece of virtuosic piano. Hough and Liszt is a combination that rewards over and over (I've watched this movie, or parts of it, a dozen times yet it still has surprises and lessons for me).Show lesspeterwg
Well worth the price, and then some...
A beautiful piece, performed beautifully, and accompanied with a wealth of analysis that makes me want to frequently replay the performance and commentary. I have all the classical apps from this publisher and this one is my favorite. Well done Touchpress!g3n3w
Not convinced
This performance strikes me as having too much focus on beats in a bar rather than overall movement and general direction. The scrolling of the score is not smooth and becomes a distraction. the overall concept is interesting.n1w@
Decent overall
As a pianist, this app is a valuable tool and has helped me in learning this piece. However, I was disappointed at the lack of speed throughout the piece—Martha Argerich, in comparison, plays it in just over 25 minutes instead of the 31 minutes this app takes—and the views of the performer's face throughout the piece. While I recognize that it's important for a piece to have character, to project emotions, I believe it's a waste of space to include half an hour of an old man making various facial expressions.Show lessrachmANGSTinoff
Fantastic! Sublime!
I haven't come across a Touch Press app yet that I haven't adored and this is no exception. In the Performance area you are taken through the entire thrill-ride of the sonata, following along with the score, the actual playing and the emotion of the piece - all at the same time. All the background sections are beautifully put together. It's the whole package! An app like this is all the justification I need for owning an iPad in the first place. Absolutely superb!
So what am I waiting for next from Touch Press? A performance of The Rite Of Spring conducted by Simon Rattle with an option to watch the ballet performed by the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. There you go - the gauntlet has been thrown!!!!Show lessansonort
