Leave a Review The Liszt Sonata
Outstanding
An engaging way to discover and rediscover one of humanity's most brilliant musical creations.
Besides the elegant app interface and extensive and interesting background material, this is a brilliant performance of the sonata — almost as fun to watch as it is exciting to listen to.
The spoken commentary is useful, although a little loud (it would be nice to be able to adjust the relative volume). Luckily it also works well displayed as captions.
The synchronisation of the audio to the musical notation is near perfect, which makes it a pleasure to 'read' along while listening.
The audio plays well through AirPlay (sounds great on B&W speakers).
All up this is a great way to experience great musical artworks — a much deeper experience than just listening to a CD. It would be lovely to see the catalogue of works expanded over time.Show lesschris1_au
Overpriced
Slickly done but not worth the price. Not for only 30 minutes of musichank quense
Amazing
I love this app, I really hope more like this appear soon for some of my favourite classical piano pieces.daniel.phillips
Very Entertaining and Educational.
This is a very well made app. I've used apps by this developer in the classroom before and they've been very useful in helping students develop their score following skills as well as their understanding of the pieces.
A wonderful choice of piece in this app. Now I'm hoping they make more apps for exam board set works!Show lessMetfan85
A joy to see and hear
… and a very good app for those who are starting to enjoy reading music.Berliner
The Liszt Sonata
Stephen Hough gives a glittering and masterful performance of Liszt's piano sonata in B Minor. With this app, though, Stephen Hough brings us much more - opening a window on the brilliance of Liszt's composition, with real-time musical score, fingering and voice-over narrative, as he plays. Performance notes on the sonata and the life and times of Liszt complete this technically novel app. If you love classical piano, this one is for you.Show lessBenW66
Is it over priced? No
This app is just amazing only wish they did more for other pieces specially the Beethoven sonata's, but back to the app it's fantastic, Stephen is so good at bringing the science of the piece in terms of structure dynamics and the actual story, sometimes you see a master class and it come across as just a class but with this you listen to what he saying then the next time you hear the piece it all makes complete sense it's just brilliant so much in it, you really learn a lot, just a shame I can't play all of it hahaShow lessMatthew-liszt
Rather disappointed...
Rather annoyed that this piano sonata was cobbled and stitched together. No offence to Stephen Hough, but having cuts and edits in the video footage was rather cheap.
For a respected pianist such as yourself, that's just shoddy.Piano man '84
Fantastic App, need fix some bugs though
I am always a Touchpress fan, and I never regret about buying any of your apps, this app is fantastic as usual. However, on my iPad 3, ios7, when I start the performance, the time displayed is always 0:00, and I can't move the script to skip. Hope you can fix this bug soon!sd795822

Just as all the reviews have said,the APP is wonderful.
I have always had difficulty entering into the world of Liszt sonata and if this application doesn't do it for me I am a lost soul.Like all the other "Touch press" apps highly recomended.Lehmanesque
